Brainbox Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 So, series rundown: Episode 1: The Crash and the roadworks. Interesting thing actually. I was listening to local radio the other week, and the DJ referenced Top Gear when talking about endless traffic problems involving an endless set of roadworks. Anyway, The Crash was riveting, and the roadworks were pretty funny. And successful for once. Episode 2: Veyron and the coupes. Not quite as funny as the previous week, but the Veyron looks like a Batmobile, and I now really want to drive a golf buggy. Episode 3: America. Need I say more? Episode 4: The rocket. Cool idea, pity it didn't work. Episode 5: The tractors and Kristen Scott Thomas. Funny when they were teasing Clarkson about Kristen. Funny because its just the sort of thing that school kids do. The tractor choices were so typical of their personalities, and it was good to see cameos from previous challenge entries. Episode 6: The limos and Billie Piper. The limos were great. The Panda was so funny, and looked 'great' taped together. Lemar stormed off, the steering wheel broke, the presenters got wet, I could go on. And Billie Piper 8- Quote
Optimax X Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 Yeah- i thought that the caravan one was really funny, just started out as i pan fire and turned into a van fire! My favorite one of all time would be probably the darts with cars, car football and multipeople carrier racing. Quote
Brainbox Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Don't forget the Amphi-cars. The Toy(b)o(a)ta :-D And May actually won a challenge. Albeit because of Clarkson's over-eagerness. Quote
Optimax X Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 Well technically he did not win, cos his clutch broke and could not get out of the water. It was funny when Hammond's sank though. My favorite quote ever was from this series though James- "It was a new car and i did not know what all the nobs did" Richard- "What do you mean? There is only 2, well 3, if you count the one that bought it" Everyone was laughing and i nearly fell of the sofa. Quote
Brainbox Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 James- "It was a new car and i did not know what all the nobs did"Richard- "What do you mean? There is only 2, well 3, if you count the one that bought it" Everyone was laughing and i nearly fell of the sofa. I loved that! If I can think of any more, I'll post them. We should get a few more 'best of' shows in the interim between series, if last year was anything to go by. The Team :-D And, I've just found this. Did you notice the Billy-Bob on the end credits? Every name. Quote
Optimax X Posted March 7, 2007 Author Posted March 7, 2007 Yeah- apart from the 3 presenters, richard's that i can remeber most was Dale Jr Hammond. They did a similsr thing for the winter olympics one, they all ended in bjorne or benny because they were in ABBA country. Quote
exo attack Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I only watched top gear 1 or 2 times, and I think it is quite good. I watched tonight's episode, and personally, I think the limo was pretty weak. you could se the glass wobbling when the paintball hit it, I am suprised it didn't smash! Quote
Brainbox Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I was just looking through the production notes on the website, and remembered about the Veyron vs light aircraft episode. Oh, May's endless pre-flight checks. Quote
Optimax X Posted March 8, 2007 Author Posted March 8, 2007 I know- and when they were finnaly in the air- Hammond started reading a book about plane crashes! ET- it was funny wehn they started shooting at each other! Quote
Brainbox Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 'Top Gear of the Pops' tonight for Comic Relief. Should be good. 10pm for anyone who doesn't know. The Top Gear trio take over the reins of TOTP. I sit here with a sense that things will go wrong. :-D Quote
Optimax X Posted March 16, 2007 Author Posted March 16, 2007 10- tonight?! I'm going out for an italian! Hope i'm back before then though. Just got the most recent TG mag- should provide some more intresting reading. Quote
The Kid Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 ROFL! :-D That was hilarious! 'Specially the start - "What the *-* is this?" X-D TK Quote
Brainbox Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Clarkson's name for the rapper at the beginning (which I can't honestly share) was hilarious. "Its like talking to my dad." :-D May clearly had no idea what he was talking about, Clarkson dropped his sticks, and McFly's song: "Jeremy's an antique/ the Hamster just squeaks/ and May is a geek." :-D It made a nice change to cars anyway, being the novelty that it was. And it was all for a good cause. We mustn't forget that. Quote
Optimax X Posted March 17, 2007 Author Posted March 17, 2007 Mcfly's song was pretty funny, they should realise it propaly, i bet quite afew people would get it. Unfortanatly i missed the start, but it seems like it was really funny. Quote
Lord Thrawn Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 I abhor McFly. I had to turn off as soon as they became involved. Quote
Optimax X Posted March 17, 2007 Author Posted March 17, 2007 Normally, i'd agree with you there LT, but it was particurally funny "Sofa, hyundia...."er, what was the next word? Quote
captaintau Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Mcfly's song was pretty funny, they should realise it propaly, i bet quite afew people would get it. Unfortanatly i missed the start, but it seems like it was really funny. The start (as I recall) was simply "Sofaaaaaah, Hayundaaaaaaaii, Administrashuuuunn" Yep, great song. Other best bit of Comic Relief was Tony Blair doing "Am I Bovverud"? :-D Quote
Brainbox Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Other best bit of Comic Relief was Tony Blair doing "Am I Bovverud"? :-D Yeah, I enjoyed that too. I think everyone was expecting it to be a bit rubbish and just a 'popularity booster,' but it actually turned out good. The David Tennant sketch was good too, and the Peter Kay/Matt Lucas song was funny. Quote
Optimax X Posted March 18, 2007 Author Posted March 18, 2007 Well i didn't watch any of that, normally because it is all rubbish. It has got so big, i think it is pointless Quote
Brainbox Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 It has got so big, i think it is pointless Do you mean the show is pointless, or the charity is pointless? Quote
Optimax X Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 The charity of course! Top gear is brilliant and i will continue to watch it when it comes back on. Quote
Brainbox Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Top gear is brilliant and i will continue to watch it when it comes back on. There's a 'best of' on Sunday BBC2, 8:00pm. Quote
Optimax X Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 Okay, i'll watch. "top gear blues" is on youtube, the song mcfly did, just listening to it now. Quote
CloneCommanderDelta7 Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I love Top Gear!!! I think my favourite movie was the one when James May was in the co-drivers seat with Ken Block and then they raced with RICKY CARMICHAEL!!! That was cool! But every episode is at least good, if not great and excellant at most times. Quote
The Crazy One Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I love Top Gear!!!I think my favourite movie was the one when James May was in the co-drivers seat with Ken Block and then they raced with RICKY CARMICHAEL!!! That was cool! But every episode is at least good, if not great and excellant at most times. Mine has to be the drive in the converted limousines. Quality TV, or when they converted that car into a space shuttle. Quote
