Very hard to criticise an episode with Eric Clapton and car rugby.

Loved the Top Gear Police motto: Ambitiose sed ineptum Ambitious but rubbish. I laughed the hardest when Hammond's car had a knackered engine but he still had a ridiculously optimistic facial expression.

He did have a fantastic line about the Aztek though: "This personifies everything that was wrong with GM in the late 90s: Design by Committee. You know the committee that designed this wasn't fired? They were executed."

MattD1zzl3 posted:My point is the show would switch back and fourth. (And he still did smokey powerslides in the cheaper cars, not boring commuting or consumer advice. lovely strawman. My problem was that there weren't enough wacky adventures. The last season was a return to form and I was looking forward to more seasons in the same vein. I have absolutely no interest in seeing them compare hatchbacks.

Foxtrot_13 posted:Argentina have spent the last 50 years demanding islands 200 miles from their coast and who the natives don't want anything to do with them belong to them because a Dutch man sailed past 200 years ago in the pay of the Spanish. A curious situation where Britain is completely in the right. I don't know how many Argentinians actually care about those islands though, it's mainly a way for the government to distract them from the terrible economy.

Cat Hatter posted:Any two of them always have good chemistry and they complain about the odd man out. If its all three of them then they arbitrarily pick one to make fun of. Which is the reason the show was so good; three very good presenters with phenomenal chemistry in any configuration.

Evans isn't even funny in the 'haha, what an idiot' way; he's just a comedic black hole.

I always liked how they dealt with car companies jerking them around: "Challenger has refused because we're mean about them cars. Well Britain is not a rock in the North Atlantic, and we won't be messed around by a two-bit car company." ......"This is a Challenger that I've just bought." Also the

KozmoNaut posted:I just want the cheap car challenges to return. Definitely. How can it be so hard to drive from Bristol to Slough?! The battery is discharging, the oil temperature is very high, the oil pressure is very low, the engine temperature is off the end of the scale, I'm running out of petrol, but the clock is correct.

I would have said Hammond was most obviously playing a character. It seems in later Top Gear episodes his character morphed into 'the stupid one'.

Ether Frenzy posted:That show is surprisingly good, but the farm store and whatever cafe he's dreamt up here must be an astounding pain in the balls for anyone who lives within about 20 miles of it, these tiny country lanes that are the only way to get to some places aren't supposed to have 2 hour parking tailbacks on them. It was great driving through those lanes with a family member from London.

I didn't see the council make the point that I would have done, which is that the farm shop repeatedly broke the terms set out in the planning permission. For example the T-shirts from Vietnam. I'd have no confidence that the restaurant would have stuck to the planning permission either. Councils acting terribly is a British pastime, which is why they need to be glad-handed (and bribed). Clarkson only seemed to deal with the locals when he wanted something out of them. I don't have much sympathy with him, though I'm sure other more worthy farmers have had similar experiences.
