BBC Top Gear 2018 Thread
Discussion
I haven't watched TG for many years even during the pathetic last few years of the original three people.
It is a tired show, a tired format and has a limited life, hence why they are now bringing in people with little or no interest in cars, in a desperate effort to try and retain viewers from the millions that left when it became a gameshow basically. So they bring in semi famous names to try and recoup that, Oh dear.
They might aswell just stop it, go away and leave it for a few years and this is not likely to do anything other than make Top Gear even less about cars and even more about the people presenting it.
And the original three were perfect at that disastrous move.

McGuinness doing his CBT on fifth gear, maybe we will get f
king motorbikes on it instead of supercar after bding supercar.
I await someone on here who drives a pcp 3 series diesel mondeo stbox up and down the m6 all day to tell me how its a car show and how bikes are for wkers, suppressing the fact his wife wouldn't let him get one. He will only tune in to Top Gear to lust after what exotic car he can do 3 laps in around the nearest airfield boring folk to tears with it for months to come, bought for him using a group-on voucher for his Christmas.

At least MLB was into bikes.
Like you say, something a bit different to the latest "Zonda Aventador F655 Super Sport+1 X Force" which will lap 0.0001 seconds faster than the previous version and costs eleventy billion pounds would be nice.

Flintoff is a car nut, this is him in a Diablo filling up at my Petrol Station earlier this year
By car nut you mean an overpaid ex-sportsman who likes to flash the cash with exotic motors? Couldn't be further away from MLB, Harris or Reid. May as well have a 2 bit ex-footballer presenting. Is Rio Ferdinand free?MadRob6 said:

Considering that the car is a Murcielago that could be any bloke filling it up no?Sorry ment to say Murcielago
Had a chat with him at the time... it was Flintoff... and he is a car nut
My 2 pence:
BBC really need to makes sure they don't lose Harris!
Wonder if they considered that as the people like Harris, why not find some similar presenters with actual racing experience e.g. Jodie Kidd, Tiff Needles, various ex-F1 drivers / presenters. What about Button + Harris + Kidd = tremendous!
I'll be a modern day Quentin Wilson advising everyone what to spend their money on in the used market, taking no consideration on running costs :-)

They both appear to have a love of driving quickly, at least

Both McGuinness and Flintoff have a number of motoring offences to their names.
McGuinness avoided a driving ban last year after hiring the lawyer sometimes nicknamed Mr Loophole, Nick Freeman. Despite the star having previously pleaded guilty to the driving offence, the case was thrown out on a technicality.
Flintoff, meanwhile, has avoided a ban on several occasions after being caught speeding. In 2014, it was claimed a ban would have an adverse effect on his extensive charity work.
The cricket all-rounder was also stripped of his position as England vice-captain following a drunken escapade on a pedalo in the Caribbean during the 2007 Cricket World Cup in St Lucia.

Please not Kidd, she's more wooden than the Flintoff's last cricket bat......... 
Given his petrolhead credentials, I'm surprised the BBC haven't tried tempting Atkinson/Curtis/Elton to write/produce a Blackadder does Top Gear series.........
Just wanted to say thanks to the myriad of comments - it certainly brightened up my afternoon! lol
My 2 cents is that it'll be dire, but then from chatting to people I know the only people who really watch it regularly are the ones who aren't in to cars...
I think the new car show that's been advertised in the US is probably more worthy of a watch than this...
