Wales 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Santorini Black
Top Gear

Just watched TG for the first time in ages.
I stopped watching it because it was getting silly.
Now it's even worse.
Complete tosh, should be sued as a 'car programme' and 'entertainment'.
Three ego's big enough to fill the World.

Sorry, rant over!! Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

This was the first series that I didn't watch on Sunday nights, but recorded instead. I didn't even watch it straight away. The format has become tired, predictable and so obviously scripted.

It needs to change radically, or people will simply lose interest.

Tele, tele, tele, there's to much tele, switch it off and read a book / magazine or take the dog for a walk, maybe wash the car or a bit of gardening, strike up that lost art of conversation like talking with the wife ......................... Shocked umh, what sides Top Gear on?

VBH allied with Tiff Needel and Plato is the reason NOT to watch 5th gear to me... all they care about is power....speed...lap times, and that's when they tested the D3! At least Top Gear adds humour... Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

If VBH were half as funny, charasmatic, good looking and entertaining as she thinks she is, then she'd be able to hold down a better job than the one she currently has at the Retirement Home For Early 90's Top Gear Presenters that is 5th Gear! Rolling Eyes
