Top Gear, what a load of...thread.

Sooo... what did we all think of Episode 3?!


I thought it was a blinder of an episode! Wow, so many awesome cars and some beautiful cinematography.

That Ferrari F12 tdf piece by Harris was excellent and I totally love that car. I think that could be my #2 dream-garage Ferrari, after an F40 of course.
Think Rory did a good job with the Focus RS and hot hatch segment - that Focus RS is pretty mad, shame they don't do a 2-door version though IMO.
I'm a huge Ken Block fan and had been looking forward to his Hoonicorn segment after the controversy it attracted during filming. Didn't disappoint.

The Star in a Car segment goes on far too long and Chris Evans is still annoying and too shouty. In fact I find Sabine a bit annoying too... she needs to quit the whooping and yelping, and actually articulate to us about how the car drives.

I watched plaster dry think it was more interesting

[greenwoo]

yep i'm with you Steve, if they got rid of Evans it would actually be well worth watching...LeBlanc comes across well imho....
and that Ferrari - that looks seriously brutal, at 1st glance the rear is a bit 'coverte'esque'? - no bad thing?

the filming is as good as it was before, and Rory did ok i think, although the way that segment was plastered together with the other 2 cars was a bit strange. The coudl also i guess have run that R8 around their track with/out the computer aids, ( not at the expense of the Laguna Seca clip but in addition)....

I thought it was a top episode as well. Agree with the comments above (well not Dicks comments haha).

Come on Mike you have to agree it was a good show???? Discuss

[andyf]

The less Evans is involved the better it gets... perhaps they'll get rid of him altogether soon

Only saw the second part and loved the Ken Block bit, looking to their future adventures if their are any.
Liking Matts style a lot.

I painted the plaster Dick was watching and looked at that for a while....

Ok ok,, proper critique.

Better than the previous two programmes, let down by carrot top with the usual shouting. The film of the R8 was spoilt because of his involvement or lack of.. Clever editing going on, no way was numb nuts drifting that R8 like a king.

Harris on the other hand, 90mph drift in the F12, totally owned the car and full respect to Harris. Total Harris fanboi, worth checking out some of his you tube stuff "Harris on Cars" Love his presenting style and sense of humour.

Sabine, you gotta love a female petrol head, especially one so good behind the wheel. Adds more than she detracts to the mix.

Jury's out on Rory and Leblanc. They didn't include the Golf R or RS3 in the mix which was disappointing given they both have strong fan bases.

Can't stand Americam sitcoms especially friends which doesn't help my perception of Leblanc He was ok with the Block though.

The guests slot was sh!te luckily I was on iplayer, so skipped it, though it seemed to be a large segment of the programme.

Harris, Sabine maybe Rory and /or Matt to present, get rid of the other dross and the sh!tty bits and the programme might have a chance.

Oh and that mustang.. What a tool.

[nero1701]

What a tool.

This is what i was thinking for most of it!!

I dont get it though, I think he does a good job on Radio 2, tfi Friday was ok..

Good program but the star in a car needs to be more exciting although the yank film star was quite funny for the first 5 minutes...
i enjoyed it....
If you liked the hoonicorn stuff watch Ken blocks gymkhana series on you tube... You really can see his driving skills there...
