Top Gear - General Discussion Thread

With Top Gear people tuned in out of curiosity because they wanted to see the crash footage and what Hammond was like post crash. However it's obvious they liked what they saw because they kept coming back.

In my opinion they can go back to doing more reviews and still get the viewers, because they've got an audience that'll tune in just to see the show.

If the humour and general outrageousness of the programme is kept in, they could fit in a few more reviews. IIRC last year (or the year before last?) Hammond reviewed a shocking pink car with his head in a paper bag, before abandoning it at the side of the road. Clarkson described it as 'just looking like a ****'.

That's what I'd like to see a little more of. A VW Touran having its ruggedness tested by being thrown off a cliff in a particularly Toyota Hilux-esque fashion.

I Heard that they would be doing a TG Special in the Summer... When Is It Likley To Be ? ?

A bit like when Clarkson did a piece a few years ago about destroying the Lada, wearing a cardboard box on his head!

That clip's great, shame half the people on there don't get the reason why the car was modified in the way it was to "die" like that
