OFFICIAL: TOP GEAR (UK) Series 19 Thread

I am mildly excited.

Oh no wait, that other thing, where I go into excitement seizure and uselessly flail my arms around, shouting obscenities out loud and insulting passers by.
 
has anyone seen "the worst car in the history of the world"? i thought it was ok, although they spent plenty of time fluffing it up with m3's and the like. they barely scratched the surface of truly awful cars. no lada, no biturbo, no pt cruiser....this could have been a 6 hour show.

btw, they have released tickets for a whopping 5 shows this series. i assume a 6th is on tape.
 
I liked it, the rallying Bentley was fun, if maybe a bit short.
The Pagani was long overdue, and was very well executed, as a feature.
Agreed, that the P45 part was a bit on the long side (cutting the bit at the musical wouldn't have hurt, for example) and a maybe a quick cool wall segment or extended news might have been nice.
I liked the interview, and the slow lap in atrocious conditions - really shows how much slower you have to go in these conditions.
The news were a bit short, considering that we're right in the ramp up to the Geneva motor show, and while the terrific tractors bit was funny, they rode it out a bit too long.
I'd probably give it a 6/10 on the scale of worst to best episodes - slightly above average, but not the one you'll remember, come next season.
 
That Huayra segment was awesome. I noticed in one of the electronic dashboard shots that the car has 36,000 miles on it! (I believe that was in miles, not KM, because the digital speedo was reading in miles when the odometer was shown.) I assume this is the same silver Huayra that Chris Harris, Harry Metcalfe and Steve Sutcliffe have all already driven and reviewed (those videos are all on Youtube and great fun too). At this moment in history the Huayra strikes me as pretty clearly the most compelling out-there hypercar in the world.

The lap time for the Huayra was almost unbelievable. Unfortunately it seems to me the new Stig is considerably faster than Ben Collins or the black Stig, so we're not really seeing apples-to-apples lap times.

I felt bad for Damien Lewis - we have never seen the TG test track in conditions nearly as bad as those - but he seemed to have a sense of humor about it.

The Bentley rally segment was solid, if not spectacular.

The P45 segment was at least twice as long as it should have been. I did laugh out loud when Jezza ran out of electricity in the library and had to fire up the two-stroke, though.
