last episode of the series tonight looking forward to seeing it.
Let's hope it's the last one ever of this drivel 
There has been the potential for some good ideas which have fizzled out before they've got going, the Maserati segment started out with promise but descended into cocking about like they couldn't be bothered going through with it, but it seems odd for car enthusiasts to wish death on a car show when really we should be glad to have plenty to choose from.
With the social media presence, hopefully all the people involved with the show will learn from the feedback and produce a better series next time.
I think the last one I saw was the one in Wales. Or was it Italy? I ran out of patience after that. However, after reading how enthusiastic some of you here were for the Range Rover / Bentley / Jaguar episode, I decided to give it another go. Glad I did, it was almost like a different show (but I did fast forward through the tent parts). I can only echo what others have said, in that it was almost like old TG, a show about cars, and not simply full of badly acted slapstick for under-9s. Far from perfect, but much better. Although I will still be waiting to see what the feedback is on future episodes, it does give me hope that they might actually be able to make a watchable programme.
As an aside, who, in the 1990s who would have thought we would be here in the UK, making even one car like that, let alone three of them? And not making feeble excuses for any of them. I'm not keen on the VW London Cab, but it is keeping a lot of good traditional craft people in good jobs. I was surprised at how comparatively slow the FFRR was too.

Ended on a high with probably the most well rounded episode, shame there wasn't more of a big send off with the 3 of them, or just anything with the 3 of them, no token Hammond on an Electric motorbike for example.
They actually did something in the place they were filming, and I did chuckle at the celebrity death and following part, but I really hope that's it.
Also May found his old catchphrase, I wonder if we'll see any reprucussion?

I kind of hope they read what we have to say here? Facebook is full of gushing and nonsense. It's a bit like when someone posts an awful photo of themselves, and everyone tells them they look gorgeous.
It's obvious what works and what doesn't now - if the next series is anything like the last two episodes then they have a winner.
My thoughts...
Ditch the American - he's the most stupid and annoying bit.
Does the tent really need to be in other countries? - nope, not really. A waste of money.
Do they actually need a tent? Nope not really. A studio would be fine (if they're allowed to use that format?)
Just because you can swear, doesn't mean you should. There's no need.
Just be yourselves chaps and it works fine as last night proved.
