Far far away the best motoring show we now have.

As for the Tuscan S going past the speed camera - right on!

Great program - nice to see a whole hour dedicated to our automotive viewing pleasure.

I've got to get myself a Zonda! Now where did I leave that sawn-off shotgun....?

Bingo!
Top Gear has blown Drivel into the weeds. At last an enjoyable, entertaining motoring program on TV. Even the bit about the Citroen Belingo van thing was interesting.

Not sure about the Berlingo bit, smelled a bit of the old Car of the Year Multipla - bung of the year more like.

I mean, how can JC actually like Postman Pats van? Not right, not right at all!

Sorry to be the decenting voice,... but I though Top Gear was painfully bad. The features themselves were quite interesting but as for the presentation,...it was a bit like the tv version of that crap fat bloke on radio 1 who has his mates there to laugh at his jokes.

Cool tvr,...

The new format will not please everyone, but it seems that the majority of people liked it, so from Top Gears' perspective it was a big success.
To me, the format said 'cut the crap and let's get down to business of giving cars a pasting on the track'.

I enjoyed it, but it's not "Top Gear". It's the Jeremy Clarkson Show. What happens to Top Gear when he gets bored of it?

Damn, I missed it. There's so little decent viewing these days that its doubly annoying when you miss some!

Will it be repeated?

Repeated Tuesday I think...

I thought it was great, loved it (especially the looking for a Granny to teach to do donuts). Did you catch his dig at '5th Gear' in the Zonda? 'I'm going out of 5th Gear now, and into Top Gear'
