did anybody see it last night- shown actual footage of his crash- but don't worry if you missed it- repeating on wednesday or see the video of the crash on topgear.com

[Brainbox]

Yeah I saw it. What gets me is how he'd have been fine had he not been for that third run.

Its on at 7:00 on Weds, just to elaborate on your statement.

Did you see them doing the roadworks :-D :-D . As usual they made a complete pigs ear of it.

But the Jaguar XKR *wub*. And the Aston Martin Vantage *wub* *wub* .

Yes- and how ironic on the footage he was saying stuff like "if you turn the after burner on you could have the biggest crash of your life" and "i don't want to go upside down"

the roadworks was really funny- jeremy and his speeches "this is our darkest hour but don't let adolf hammond get your spirits down" :-P :-P :-P typical JC!

I liked the jaguar XKR over the vantage.

I'd rather have the Jag in black, so compared to the red Jag (which wasn't bad) the Vantage was better.

Yeah, are we sure Hammond can't see into the future? ;-)

I think this weekend they go golfing. I can almost guess what'll happen!

[Optimax X]

Ha! More comedy please..... i was so happy watching it last week i thought i might pop- maybe because it had came back after a load of time, or because hamond is back, but what's for certain, i won't be available here or anywhere else online at 8.00PM on a sunday.

[Brainbox]

True. And then to top it all off, I get to talk about it all again with my friend at school on Monday.

Less than 24 hours to go ;-) .

This weeks was good- that veyron is sooo impressive! I also found the golfing bit funny and when they were in the art musuem

Watched it yesterday. One thing I do hate is how they pretend to mess stuff up then act like it's hilarious - like being 'thrown off' the golf course, which I highly doubt happened. And the way they get so worked up about the cars. It's just sad, IMO. Not sure why I watched it.... *sad*

[Optimax X]

Yes but zane- that's the entertainment, seeing howthey will sort the cars out. It's one of the most popular shows in this country, and alot of people at my school watch it, but suppose that is to see what stunts they do and don't care about the cars, but you have to admit the veyron is a peice of acchivment.

A bit!? It looks like a Batmobile. £850,000 though...

I agree with Optimax. Top Gear is all about 'three grown men messing about.' The cars are really only a distraction ;-) .

And yes, the golfing was very funny.

[Optimax X]

Well, what impressed me the most about it (the veyron) was that a top speed it covers a football pitch every second, and the tyres can only hold up to that for 11 mins! That and that it sucks in more air than we do in 4 days at full pelt.

[Zane]

That's not my point though. My point is that the jokes are so obviously set up. Not even subtle, just clearly set up and therefore unfunny.

How do you know? Are you the top gear producer? Thought not. It's how they are though, and as your new to top gear, you have missed alot and so i would not go critisizing how they do things. And obiously it is not theat un-funny, because it is one of the most popular t.v shows around.

[Zane]

New to Top Gear? No. I've watched it before, I just don't watch it every week.

You don't need to be the Top Gear producer to realize that the jokes are so obviously set up. They'd be funny if they weren't set up so much....

[Optimax X]

So you think everything is set-up, like hammonds crash? Like they would be able to make a tyre explode in that force and faking that he was critically ill? As brain box put it perfectly, it's just a show with three men cocking about.
