Yeah im a big fan of top gear but it is getting a bit repetitive.... and i know its an old argument but a few more normal cars being featured that i could actually afford would be nice too! :smilewinkgrin:

I like Top Gear but it's certainly more like a car-themed entertainment show nowadays. Good fun though :yes nod:.
Both you and del have got good points here it's kinda like del says it's an entertainment show based around cars. I actually like used car road show tbo do I want top gear to change, not really. A few more road tests of normal cars would be nice though. Sometimes regardless of how good a show is maybe it's run it's course. Would be sad to loose this program.
By the way loving the new signiture strip del.
Even with Top Gear, all their challenges are so similar, buy this for x amount, go to here, do this etc.
I'd quite happily watch them go nuts on their track with different cars for an hour and not have any challenges. Watched an episode on Dave the other day, when Jez was in an FQ400 i think chasing a Lambo...now that is entertainment. Not watching a rediculous home made car roll down a hill that they didnt know was happening!!!
I've said it before, and a'l say it again, can't wait for the new series of Fifth Gear!
"new series of Fifth Gear!"
Thought that was dead, that was the last series was it not.
UGH!
Oh well, used car roadshow it is! After checking out the net, Johnny has tweeted (and trust me i HATE using that phrase) that "it's maybe time for a new car show recipe"
I like Big JC but sometimes your thinking this is an adult show or have I missed something as it goes in to Chuckle vision mode. Seen that episode on Dave when they had the Works and the German Version from some company and an other one and was thinking what a great five-ten minutes of Mini porn.
I know I’d rather have seen Hamster pushing that Lambo in Wales or Scotland than the Floating caravan airship.
They do three series a year, with 6-8 episodes in each -that's a minimum of 18 hours of TV to make - there just aren't enough interesting new cars to do a 1 hour show just on cars. Personally, I'd rather see them pushing supercars around than a Mazda 6 diesel.
Clarkson has said it's an entertainment show - before they redid the Top Gear format, how else would anyone have had a car show where entire families sit and watch it on a Sunday night? It just wouldn't have happened.
