Top Gear 2016 Official TV show thread *contains spoilers*

Why are TG doing Eagle and the like? Old news.

Did they really edit in an eagle flying over the MG...

Why are the fashion gurus not crying because Matt is wearing a pair of North Face approach shoes when he could be wearing a frankly splendid pair of brown boots from the shoes thread?!

Probably because he doesn't have to try hard, unlike the losers arguing over their orphan boots and how to cream their Loakes.

MLB has done a good job on the show. His review of the 911R was very good.

[surveyor]

Evans much less shouty tonight. It's an improvement.

As far as I can tell they've not managed to come up with one truly original idea throughout the whole season.

Talk about playing it safe.

MLB is great, really enjoyed that. Had enough of Rory, he just grates. As does CE and to a lesser extent CH. Matt is very good though.

[AndrewEH1]

...as we see the look of fear as Evans almost crashes through complete lack of talent

He needs to stop leaning on cars!

[ZX10R NIN]

I have to say MLB is a better presenter than CE, for me the show lacks the charisma of the older TG.

Not actually minding this MG review!

Would have been better if Chris Evans had just shut up and driven it, while we watched.

[KTF]

Evans, Sabine and Rory for the chop.

Oh, and Eddie as he contributed so much. Seemingly he couldn't be bothered to turn up for this time filler.

Edit: He turned up.

Was that music from Interstellar or Midnight Special?

Interstellar.

Overall a much better series than I had expected it to be. MLB and Chris Harris really stood out as good presenters. Going forward, I'd like to see Sabine given more time on screen too.

Bring on the next series.

This was the season finale. Why are you still watching it if you don't like it?

[johnxjsc1985]

watched the first episode but only followed it on here since I simply cannot watch Evans. Maybe I will catch up when its on Dave.

[Doofus]

I think the jump competition sh9uod be used to select the presenters to get dropped.

Rules:

1. Women get a gender handicap, which adds 8m to their jump.
2. People with alliterative initials get a 7m bonus.
3. Americans only get a 1m bonus, because they're cocky.
4. Anybody who scores less than 9.1 metres, after applying bonuses, is out.

[T16OLE]

I really enjoyed tonight's show!

According to Autocar, only journalists who owned a Porsche could drive one of these press cars. Does he own one?

He has a 911 GT2 RS and a 911 Turbo apparently.

And flew into the UK just to attend the PCGB national weekend last summer!

I don't watch it.

I thought that was the best episode yet. Had a few laughs and even a decent SIARPC.
