Just asking the Noble collective what you all thought, is it going the same way as PH and getting too long-in-the-tooth??
I found it, (only caught it as they tested the Nomad) tedious, repetitive, pointless and Chris Evans is such hard work to watch, hard enough to listen too, but just bearable, Matt was good, but that was the only thing I found positive!!!
There is such a huge gap in the market for a good, informative and entertaining car/bike/motorsports programme. It will be interesting to see what Clarkson (who I also find irritating wink ) comes up with!!!!

470 votes for dissapointed against 151 likes, says something. I'm with most, the old TG had long since lost its way and had become dull and the same old thing, have a challenge, buy a car, drive into each other blar, blar, blarr. But they did work well off each other and had some "chemistry". The filming, as before was great and they seem to spend most of their buget on this and not the script!! It's a shame they have taken the old lead and produced it for their main audience of 10 year olds!!!

Remember this, back in the day??:

I might just blow your mind.

Roadkill - Most like old Top Gear with a dash more ghetto duct tape, zero f**ks given and a whole heap more welding.

Engine Masters - Just engine porn. Testing engine performance on a dyno but strangely addictive.

Hot Rod Garage - a bit more educational and like a softer version of roadkill.

Regular Car Reviews - unique sense of humour, love him or hate him. Personally I find him very funny and reminds me that if you can't take the piss out of yourself and your own car you are going to have a very hard time getting through life.

Project Binky - two muppets from Shropshire cramming a celica gt4 into a mini shell. Lot's of monty python references and plug welds. Seriously impressive build.

Mighty Car Mods - one for younger viewers really but still very very entertaining and you can't help but love the two guys. I'm not one for Jap cars but their enthusiasm for vehicles is second to none, regardless of what they are or what 'scene' they represent.

My son was in the audience - following watching last night he said they've added much canned laughter. Said "we didn't laugh that much"!
This has been the latest criticism is the use of canned laughter. I missed last nights, but as most I will still watch it, and quietly moan to myself about it!!!! biggrin
