Pretty good episode - was continuously laughing throughout.
I can see what people mean about it not being about cars BUT because Top Gear is so out dated (everything recorded the season before the show), anything they do review is on the road, been in the press, discussed on here, blaa blaa.
The bit about the tractors was interesting and funny. How many people actually found it interesting? Some narrow minded people think there are 3 types of tractor. Small, medium and large. Best of all, they were in Ashwell, about 10 mins from where I live  who's up for living in the field until they come and harvest the rape seed.
Oh, and enough rape seed for 90,000 miles  yes please!
Top episode - they're gradually getting more and more on track, next week will be good, I think.

It takes more energy to refine rape seed oil into petrol than it does to drill for crude oil and distill it into petrol. Therefore it's bloody expensive.

I personally love it, it's one of the very very few things i watch on tv as generally tv is absolute wank.
Also the fact Ed and Steve dislike the show does not surprise me, i'm more surprised at the fact they still have the ability to type their opinions, i'd have expected them to be crushed under the weight of their own negativity and pessimism.

Terrible episode, we all go around my mates house to watch it, after 20 mins we are bored.
They reviewed one car which nobody could afford.
Totally pointless.

You know you aren't allowed to not like a TV program and say anything about it on here so keep quiet

There's a difference between having an opinion and constantly being a moaning cunt in every single thing you post.

It's still enjoyable to watch, but as mentioned interesting cars don't get released often enough.
They could spend a bit more time looking at slightly more affordable hatches/saloons etc though.
I still love it but it's defo girlfriend friendly

I don't moan in every post. I genuinely believe that the TV program Top Gear has lost it's direction and this is resulting in the program being utter rubbish.

He used to be a respected motor journalist, but now he has dumbed himself down so much I wouldn't even bother worrying about his opinion on much these days. Why can't he say ft/lbs or co2/km. Why is it always Torques and Carbon Dioxides?
