Is Basel not pronounced Barl? They keep saying Basel, going to write to the BBC to complain.

another good episode.
shows how crap the computers are in the cars tho!...jag said 0 miles and yet had enough for another 120. hmmm...
this is a really good series so far to be fair!
didnt think the veyron looked too great on the track. not a fan of them anyway tbh...just dont like them, and when i saw one at Oulton Park next to a Superleggera Gallardo, it looked big and ugly!

To be fair, I wouldn't expect it to die on 0 with any car. But 120 is slightly insane

I though the episode was pretty good!
I liked that May was driving the zonda..
looked pretty cool for him.
the race was just insane.. its just like saying u just run out of oxygen and u still breath and dont know how longer u will be able to breath!.
that Jaguar is immense! Clarkson didnt drive it to save a gram of petrol and yet made it till france! plus he went the longe route...

Why? Because it was so composed and didn't have it's ass out all over the track?

Was ok episode, not upto usual top gear standards!
Too much MPG loving shit, if it wasn't for Clarkson in the Jag on that episode I'd have fallen asleep!
Could just imagine Deano sitting at home tugging him self off when they had to do 750+ miles on 1 tank of fuel "Get a 1.0 12v corsa, get a 12volt, I get 10,000miles to a tank"

 shut the fuck up everyone.
daymoon - although Clarkson took the longest route, it would have been the best for MPG in his car.
tbh, I'd have chosen a Prius. Once it ran out of petrol, just run it on the electric

so do I. Think a 118d would have been good.
I thought it was pretty amazing all the same that the Jag made it - although, they would have planned it that Clarkson went the motorway way, so that he did make it. If he followed Hammond, he wouldn't have stood a chance imho.

I've watched better.
The challenge was a bit boring tbh.

I liked that challenge. Makes a change.
I think anyone with half a brain cell knew the Veyron wouldn't of come top of the leader board. Its not a track focused car.
How much did it own the Zonda in the drag race though

I've noticed that they are putting all the attractive women at the front of the audience.

They've been doing this for years, and, apparently they actually get them to come forward.
Obviously some weeks, they aren't going to have a nice few examples.

When I past him on the M6 he was barely doing 40mph and Hammond was about 6 miles ahead of him with his Police escort

Also, you can tell it's mediated. Why didn't Clarkson choose the Audi A8 he used to go from London to Scotland and back. He got 800 to a tank or so that time

Deano, is the Polo Bluemotion your dream car. It has all the credentials.
VAG, 3 cylinder, Diesel, 75mpg's. It couldn't be any more perfect for you.
Also, I enjoyed last nights episode. Thought it was a decent challenge.
