I was expecting Chris Evans actual garage to be more size-able and impressive, you could hardly walk around them Shocked

Good to see the motor-cross racing again, brings back memories of 2.6 sec 0-60 Escorts coming off the gravel onto the hard and doing low wheelies they were so powerful Shocked

Boring cars though, the old classics were much more interesting and attractive to watch Whistle

Yes Evans' garage looked like one of those "work from home" conservatory things painted white with a load of Ferrari's shoe-horned in.
£5m on one car, you might have splashed out on a mini hangar or summat to display it in, not a glass shed from the B&Q clearance sale.

Think this series has been the worst yet. No memorable features just 3 grown men playing up to the cameras. Really hope they start to put a bit more effort in or i can see it getting the chop.They genuinely seem to have run out of ideas and seem to be going through the motions for a paycheck. The rallycross feature was quite good and the final playout by slash was Cool .

Still think the best episode ever was the one with the Senna feature from a few seasons ago. Was a fantastic feature and in the same program had James maxing a veyron Thumbs Up

Second the rally cross Thumbs Up I bet the atmosphere on the floor was pretty good with the closing credits, but on the other hand I would bet that the audience was kicked out smartish after the cameras stopped rolling Rolling Eyes

100% agree... maybe some new presenters would do the trick ?

For the last 2 weeks i have enjoyed the program that followed Top Gear more than top gear. Called Orbit-earths extraordinary journey,very interesting without being too heavy going like some sciency programs

Plus its presented by 2 hotties Thumbs Up

Ohhh sorry got to put my oar in here Kate Humble is the most anoying person on telly. End Off !

Top gear is alright for a Sunday watch, this series has not been bad the last 2 had lost their way a bit the first ones were brilliant, The auto cross was excellent and as said above Slash in the back of the Toyota was superb.
I went to the studio ages ago 2006 i think ?? Armid Jalally wwas the star in the Suzuki, still seen regularly on Dave. If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.
