Top Gear's back! [Vote on the best Stig line ever]

[MasterBlaster76]

The thing is, in that last USA episode, they were slagging off the Stig big time (Clarkson actually shoots a cardboard cutout of him with an M16 or something like that; I wonder how much of that was for 'TV' and how much was reflecting their true feelings), but as you said, Top Gear without the Stig will be a bit odd.

Apparently, people who take life a bit too seriously aren't too happy about Clarkson, May and Hammond shooting cardboard cut outs of the Stig. Honestly, some people just have no life. Who in their right mind would sit down and write a letter of complaint to a broadcaster. They must have done everything there is to do in the entire world to get down to that.

But that episode was super. Really very entertaining. Loved the SLS and the 458 in particular. The deep roar from the SLS was amazing. I always enjoy the news segment when they look at presents with a motoring theme. Overall, I'd give that episode 9/10.

You'd be surprised what people would write in about - a while back, people wrote in to the BBC because they'd got a bee in their bonnett when The (new) Doctor - just after regenerating - said 'and I'm still not ginger'! It's a long-running joke and it hasn't got anything to do with having a go at ginger people because, as anyone with half a braincell can figure, the man clearly wants to be ginger and is disappointed that yet again, he isn't!

Great episode though - am looking forwards to the next one.

New series starts tomorrow night, be interesting to see how Stig plans out.

Well, as we all clearly could see in the Christmas special, the Stig is the Messiah, Reborn! (So they'll have to be nice to him).

Yea, good to finally see some regular TG. Apparently, Stigs grow up very fast and went on to set a blindingly fast lap in that Ariel Atom V8. Decent episode, won't go into too much detail in case people haven't seen it (although from seeing how active this thread is, not many people on PC give a hoot about Top Gear.)

I like Top Gear but I haven't been able to catch the latest episode yet. I like it more for the challenges and humour than the cars :/

Yeah, that's how I feel as well.

I just had to comment about the nonsense surrounding Top Gear 'insulting' Mexican stereotypes - what about when other nations make fun of us?

So when people insult or make fun of British stereotypes (such as CM Punk's jibe about British people's teeth - to a live British audience of thousands), we're supposed to just keep nice and quiet and be polite little Englishmen. Get stuffed - the WWE was making fun of British people to make good TV, just as Top Gear was taking the piss of Mexicans. All nations make fun of other national stereotypes, so grow up you Mexicans and stop acting like little babies!

Keep it up, Top Gear crew.

The stig (Ben Collins) went to my school. He is doing our speech day in the summer. Very excited.

New season just started!

 

[Iridium]

Yes indeed! I'm watching it now

 

[Chewie]

Me too

Would have been quite expensive to blow those cars up

That Marauder is just awesome. I could see me using that on the motorway at rush hour. A lot of injuries and deaths but I'd get home pretty quick.
