Aww, alot more should of been done with that episode ;_;
Taxi segment should of turned into Clarkson - Hammond - May picking 1 Taxi car they think is the best and doing something with it together. Going from A to B with a customer in the back etc, even if it was just through London on Rush Hour etc. Then finishing with a race or something. Thought just throwing it all on a race track was just meh xD
Those free runners though...dayummm, so good xD VERY RANDOM though ahaha, wtf was that all about
F12 Ferrari nomnom, looks soo good. Well done Ferrari on that. Also liked the Mono thought it looked amazing.
During the news bit they were on about the Zonda - Ferrari theferrari - Mclaren, i do hope they race those around Europe/America as a big feature or something. They look so nice cars I do wish that Pagani would make an actual new car (I mean, yea... Huayra... but one model at a time?  ) Loved the F12 and the Mono. I would probably pick the mono over the spectacular looking F12 though. Simply because the mono is like a street legal formula 3 car.
you can take out the mono for a ride only when the sun is shining tho. bit of a downer.

Indeed also need a helmet over 80mph rofl
True BlackJack, i don't like how random that was because it had nothing to do with cars......was just some filler crap about the BBC which i guess was more of a inside joke to us English, but still very silly. Would of rather they spoke about a car for 10minutes than that.
Oh well, next weeks episode (this weeks) going to be sick

I could never get excited about their choreographed sequences like the free running bit. The taxi bit is funny, with Richard driving through a building or a taxi driving through the limo, but when they try to make it suspenseful like it's a legit race when you know it's staged it seems kind of lame. It's cool, I guess, but when you have people jumping through break-away glass it's just a reminder of how fake it is and makes it difficult to get caught up in the suspense.

You know se germanz would have won if the race wouldve been legit.

It's hard to know if they do this for every race, or only for the big "Car vs public transport" races, but they have stated that they do race once for real first, and then go back and film some of the location shots.

Really enjoyed this one, that street circuit at the end was excellent.
Also poor Hammond, but I wouldn't have expected anything less after he did that.

Indeed, you can't get away with hitting a bollard in a Ferrari 458, jesus christ that was bad.
I also agree, i liked that episode, i just love watching them drive around and being lads as it were, makes fun TV for me.
I really can't believe Spain is like that? Surely they were exaggerating that? If not, damn Spain is fucked, so many houses empty, flats empty, towns empty. Just pure madness. Even the motorways were dead, so mad!

That looked somewhat terrifying ~22 seconds in. I havent ever had the opportunity to drive anything remotely that fast IRL, it looks fun. You also don't realize how much correcting you have to do if you haven't done it before.

Nothing compared to the skid he does on both the way in and out of the hammerhead. With cars that fast and with that much grip, any kind of skidding can very easily lead to spinning out. But he holds it so beautifully he makes it looks easy.

This lawn-mower goes up to 210 km/h (126mph) has 6 gears and no seat belt!

I really enjoyed the last episode. Good and low top gear humor. I just have to force me to not think about scripts or compare it to season 10-15 which were the peak of top gear imo.
I saw the new electric SLS at a fair in exactly that color and I was impressed. After reading through all the engineering behind it and talking to some mechanical engineers who work in the automotive industry I was even more impressed. If I had the money too buy one of these I would take it over any other supercar. The amount of technical development and just pure brilliance makes me all excited just thinking about it. What a great car, you'd have to be an idiot to listen to Clarcson and buy the standard petrol black.
I also totally agree with Jackmans asistant - Most of the VIPs do not deserve to be on this show, especially when they have no idea about cars and dont watch it.
Still, best episode of this season so far?

Except that the petrol one is faster, more useful, you can use it as an every day car and for long range driving, doesn't need 20 hours of charging after 10 minutes on a track, and its waaaay cheaper.
That electric version is an engineering masterpiece no doubt. But for any purpose beyond "some city driving", its completely useless. And we have many 1000 times cheaper electric cars for that already.

Loved the Hover Van so much fun XD Gets a bit to scripted, like why fuck would Clarkson get out of the van to see what they were doing with the lock! Still hilarious thought, was a bonus for me in the Hugh Jackman interview, nice blonde in shorts with her body out behind him  nice
It's not a coincidence she was standing there
I thought this episode was hilarious. Makes me wonder how much of that was really scripted. So much damage :O

All these things are scripted but you just have to push it out of your mind not worry about about it to much and enjoy the show.

I really don't think crashing with the boats and nearly running over a guy was scripted. Waaay to dangerous. The rest probably was.
