TopGear Season 18 Discussion thread

[Sly870]

I got the Indian Special and the Clarkson videos where he tests the VW Jetta against the McLaren MP4-12C...VERY VERY GOOD...

 

The Indian special was too funny...

[iLLGT3]

So, stream soon? ;)

Hopefully season 18 will not be near as scripted as the Indian Special was. Why can't they just let the show flow naturally, like it used to? It was much better all around then.

This.

The Indian special was crap in comparison to other specials, it had it's good moments but overall was very much forgettable compared to bolivia and the north pole.

 

Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come in season 18 because if it is I could see TG and the boys being slaughtered for something other than controversial comments they've made.

This is what I worry about the most. More and more people are starting to realize the lack of entertainment that the last few Top Gear seasons have presented. Previously, JC's racial comments were hardly noticed or scrutinized because everyone loved the show so much. Now that it is less lovable, his comments are gathering much attention, since they are about the only funny things he says. BBC may be more inclined to crack down on JC's shenanigans if the show does not improve.

 

It is still certainly a good show, just not near as good as it once was.

Looks like there'll be some good challenges, but a few things jump out as the 'predictable overscripted show' material we've been dreaded, overall looking forward to it :) Still easy television like always.

Forgot to post that video the other day - you all should be subscribed to the TG website by now anyway :p

[The Compensator]

Oh no, car destroying is back :rolleyes:

[Ryzza5]

Looking forward to this Monday (I'm a day ahead), and here's another preview video for y'all:

[T0M722]

Thanks a lot for posting Ryan, didn't know it was this close!

 

 

I'm so excited! Hopefully it's a great season, it looks the goods!

[Ryzza5]

It's "this close" assuming you visit finalgear.com next Monday, otherwise you might have to wait another 4 weeks for it to reach us here.

[The Compensator]

Can't wait!

[Camel]

Looks quite good.

 

*waits for blah blah blah it's scripted, wahh wahhh :sulk: people* :cheeky:

[Eudemon]

That will be me if they continue to dumb down the series.

[Camel]

Maybe you're just too intelligent for TV. You're a dying breed of smart people!

[Eudemon]

I'm far from smrt.

[Camel]

Or maybe you're just not smart enough. Didn't think that was possible. :hmmm:

[Eudemon]

We'll test it with yourself, if anything this series is above your intellectual understanding then we know that they really have dumbed right down. :D

[iLLGT3]

I will be streaming this tonight at 10:00PM central for those who couldn't catch it.

[CarMadMike]

Very good first episode :)

 

I'd have the Aventador.

[Eudemon]

That was a brilliant episode.

 

Seriously how good did that Lambo sound and for a roadcar how much fire did the bloody thing dispel!! :D

 

[T1M]

Brilliant episode!

 

2 great cars and 1 incredible car.

[Kelvjy]
