Last night's Top Gear

[Wools]

I must admit that todays show was a bit weak compared to others but I loved the woman... Sorry Jackie teaching Captain Slow how to drive round Oulten Park.

"Why don't you just drive round yourself!"

James is probally one of the most un-intenatlly funny guy on TV! "I would and I'm a bachalor!"

As other have said I do feel he is being sidelined for Jeremy & Richard.

Same with ukg2 even tho i have seen them more than once i always watch the old top gear's on there now thats going all football ! that was my football escape channel !

[Richard.John]

Sir Jackie was amazing though, wasnt he? He easily lapped in under 2 mins yet James had to spend hours getting close to the 2 min mark. Imagine what a current F1 driver could do with that TVR? It showed why racing drivers do what they do.

Talent by the bucketful.

I do have to admit when he said he would knock 20 seconds off the time i was skeptical but he did it that impressed me

[Alastair]

Knowing TG though it could have all been completely set up for the purpose of entertainment

[VR46]

never, what like the thousand mile races where they finish a few seconds apart

[VR46]

video clip here from Top Gear last year ? (strange that I don't recall ever seeing it myself) shows the Stig "beating" the speed camera.

[Alastair]

Care to explain it a little more? That site is blocked at my work. Is it him going too fast for the cam to register a shot? Don't know if that ever made the show?

[charlesr]

Yeah, TVR Tuscan S at 171mph - the camera didn't flash. It didn't notice him at all.

[Alastair]

Does anyone remember that being on the show? I don't think it ever was.

[chosen_one666]

Probably cut because the Beeb wont want to be telling people that if they drive really fast, instead of just fast, they wont be caught by speed cameras.

[Fuddle]

Does anyone remember that being on the show? I don't think it ever was.

i didnt watch that clip, but there was definately a bit where they beat a speed camera in the normal show.

[Alastair]

It's been away too long but is finally back this Sunday at 8pm

"After lambasting caravans over the years, the team embark on a caravanning holiday in Dorset."

Don't miss it!

It was probably cut for the uktv repeats but it was definately aired originally on 2, was a black tuscan s if memory serves
