Dear oh dear, those muppets have surpassed themselves this week. I've managed to suffer 43 minutes of this weeks episode and can stand it no longer. Unless my memory deceives me, this once used to be a good show which tested and commented on both affordable cars and unatainable exotica. Tonight appeared to show three has-beens arsing about in three clapped out bangers. Am I the only one missing the point...?
If you're bored and on the PC, check out the Trento Bondone Hillclimb video at www.evo.co.uk ...awesome !
Same here. I wouldn't have minded if there was a bit more information about what exactly went wrong with the cars and what they had to do to fix them.
And did you notice that when they took all those bits of metal and plastic of their cars and burnt them, there was no smoke coming from the fire AT ALL. I know that TV involves a bit of deception but do they have to insult us?

Great Sunday night entertainment, works perfectly to the original remit: allows us to forget about work the next day 
If you want to discover the handling balance of a Toyota Avensis, go and read a Toyota forum. Thanks for reading
I agree. Sunday nights, TG followed by Long Way Down, what could be better?If you want to discover the handling balance of a Toyota Avensis, go and read a Toyota forum. Thanks for reading
Road tests on affordable cars? Hmmm, there are lots of publications that do that, and fifth gear covers that ground too i believe, which is probably why i never watch it.
I think we should count ourselves lucky. I've watched countless car progs on tv over the years, and i reckon these 2 progs are about as good as it gets. They're not perfect, but what is?
Miserable, boring wallys.
Top Gear was brilliant - what a huge adventure and great fun to boot.
Oh sure I would rather watch Tiff "snore" Nedel race another fast car around another track or another review about some POS shopping cart I dont want to own.
Or watch VBH squeal her way through another 10 mins of TV hell.
This is what cars are about - having fun! If that is crossing some crazy ooze filled salt flat or getting a great line through the bends, it is about fun. Hammond, clarkson and may are having so much fun, I didnt stop laughing for 1 hour.
I am here with a load of the BoLOCs some good food and great beer having a great time watching these guys have an adventure.
Turn off, or go watch vrooom vrooom - that would seem right up your "alley"
yes I am implying that you take it up the gary

I suppose viewed from a certain perspetive it may have been mildly amusing comedy entertainment, but surely TG should be something other than that. After all, isn't that what most of us watch it for ?
Pure escapeism. Those guys have the best "job" in the world! I would give my tits to be able to do some of thier challenges! And watching them is a weekly highlight.Really enjoyed TG tonight, these 'specials' are excellent and always good for a laugh.
Long Way Down is sh1t. Boorman is a fat posh tw*t who just moans about the back-up team. He doesn't have to do f**k-all execept follow the route they've planned for him and stay in the places they've booked. Not impressed all.

"Ah but that's arsing about on bikes for an hour. Why would they watch that?"
(sorry dont know how to do that copy in a box thing!!)
It's a bit of an adventure, and I have little interest in Bikes.
I think Long Way Down is great TV - just being ironic in view of the original post."Ah but that's arsing about on bikes for an hour. Why would they watch that?"
