Lambos are too 'over the top' for me. Prefer the Porshe or Ferrarri styling myself.

That was more the case in the old days. I personally think they have been too mild. Well until I SAW THE BLUE FLAMES OMG

That's what I was thinking. Watching all three cars, I thought the Lambo was just another Lambo and nothing particularly spectacular design wise. But the flames... Do Want!

Been a while since I looked at a lambo like I did when I was a kid.

Finished the episode last night.. loved it. Wish they had the Stig do laps around Imola in the other cars though.

Just finished watching the second episode. I thought I was OK, not great. Kinda leans on the meh side.

I wonder if they'll get in more trouble for the China bit. Fighty Stig didn't really make any sense to me, I guess it was a Bruce Lee Game of Death reference?

The Nascar section was quite interesting though. As a Brit I didn't really know anything about that sport.

Nice episode. Usually, the end credits are supposed to show "The Stig's Italian Cousin". But they showed "The Stig" instead. And yeah- Stig's presence didn't make much sense.
Will.I.Am was unusually nonchalant had no sense of humor except when he imitated his neighbor and mom.(I didn't find that amusing). Also, Richard Hammond's part with the Aga driver was quite annoying.

Was a good episode.. I now love the Noble M600.. What a good looking car. The others were too much for me (less so the McLaren) but the Noble is gorgeous. And a proper 6MT.. Win!

I too liked the Nascar stuff much more than I would have expected, but the trip to China felt like a missed opportunity to do something interesting. Fighty Stig was lame.

I don't like their stupid trying to make stuff bits much anymore, everything else was good, especially the final cut of the chase at the end.

The first half was good, but it dialed down a bit in the second half. Felt bored after the interview.

Pretty good episode. I am a Fassbender fan, so I enjoyed TSINRPC. I also liked their final bombshell conclusion.

But the best part of all was them dissing, quite unanimously, on the new Porsche 911.

Porsche fucked up. A 911 is not a 911 without its steering.
