Brilliant, utterly brilliant.
Clarkson had me in absolute stitches, he's such a plonker
Anyone who describes a car as being gittish is ace and then to wear his wifes coat.
I thought the downhill mini was excellent and good to see Hammond ( the only one with any balls ) doing his bobsleigh race from last year again.
Only clarkson could miss with a sub machine gun.
And what was with the teatowell he was wearing for a scarf?
Anyway i thought it was good

Very entertaining.

Surprised the 'Stig' riding the snowmobile could sit down on it....






... because of the gonads you would need to do a stunt like that

Agreed. Has Hammond been cloned?

Yeah... I was wondering about that. Sure Ted owns the copyright to Pistonheads and as it was originally called Petrolheads...

Hence me putting it in comma's...

...looked to large to be the TG Stig. Probably some big Norwegian Snowmobile champion

I think "Petrolheads" is a (relatively) widely used term and thus can't be copyrighted.

The Show itself is well.....I'll be generous and reserve judgement until I have seen another episode.

Hammond is in serious danger of overexposure and the endless jokes about his height, and his "boyish" grin response are getting very tedious indeed.

Great episode, my wife and I were laughing away. And wasn't the XK looking fine

Top Gear magazine has a road test in South Africa (I think) of that. It backs up what a few other magazines have said, it is a great car

Quite possibly best episode ever. Exactly what TG is all about - arseing about. Am disappointed they chose the Disco3 over the RS4, but the look on May's face when Clarkson told him the ice was 5in think was just priceless!

The rocket mini was fantastic, although coulda been even more explosive. But Hammond building the barrier on the wrong slope was brilliant, even if it was staged. Me and my sister were in hysterics the whole way through.

Didn't think Petrolheads was *that* bad - maybe I just had lower expectations of it.

(Down with Hammond, up with May!)

Makes you wonder - why not spread out some of the good programming so there's something to watch on Friday and Saturday nights. As Clarkson wrote in the Sunday Times today, "everytime they put a piece of middle-class programming on the TV, the execs rush off to work out why the ratings go up a hundred-fold."
