Great episode.
Did anyone see the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG? My uncle has one of them and there are only 2 of them in Australia. I really want to watch that episode.
I just saw the new episode [15x05]. It was near if not perfect. This is my new favourite episode. Definitely one of the best of Top Gear. If you have never seen Top Gear before, this would be one of the episodes that would show you what Top Gear is all about. Loved this episode because it had what made the other classic episodes great. The guys were doing what the show is famous for, pushing and showing the limits of motoring without thinking up some silly comedy or silly challenges to tie it all together somehow. It all felt natural, not so scripted like some episodes. I wonder how Top Gear is going to top this episode now...they usually save the best episode of the season for the season finale special.

I love English Top Gear, can't say I'm too fond of Australia's version though.. Captain Slow (James) is so lame I love him for it haha. I love the things they do.
They better have a special at the end of the season, those are the best.
Anyone notice the sound at around 22 minutes when James turns the key? It sounded a lot like the HL2 reload sound. But maybe that's just me.
[QUOTE=acds;23637650]They better have a special at the end of the season, those are the best.[/QUOTE] There wasn't a moment in the Botswana special where my stomoach wasn't hurting for laughing too much... I hope they do one, I think it's expected of them to have one at the end of every couple of series.
I really didn't like the new episode. I hate tom cruise and i hate cameron diaz. They wasted 15 minutes on them, far too much time.
Yeah it was obvious they were just on there to publicise their shit, it shows how many people watch it now though. They went through a couple of bad series but it's awesome again now.
They seem to be focusing more on advertising their quests shit now [editline]02:11AM[/editline] I liked it a lot more before because they would just talk about random crap&cars
Well I have yet to watch it, but what really interests me is the piece on Senna. Everyone keeps saying it's good, and he is my favorite F1 driver of all time.
Just saw the new episode, oh wow. That Bugatti they had was hella awesome, and the Senna bit brought a manly tear to my eye.
[QUOTE=Pridit;23638222]Anyone notice the sound at around 22 minutes when James turns the key? It sounded a lot like the HL2 reload sound.

I thought the new Bugatti's top speed was 260, but they did 269...jesus.
[QUOTE=Edthefirst;23652053]Well I have yet to watch it, but what really interests me is the piece on Senna. Everyone keeps saying it's good, and he is my favorite F1 driver of all time.[/QUOTE] It was the part that made the whole episode.
Haven't seen season 15 yet, but seen EVERYTHING else. And I mean everything. I love top gear.
Haha, last night was funny (Australia is just into Season 15) with the Reliant Robin. I have never laughed so much...
[QUOTE=S.T.O.R.M;23677743]Haha, last night was funny (Australia is just into Season 15) with the Reliant Robin. I have never laughed so much...[/QUOTE] The series gets a whoooole lot better after that!
They havent done a special episode yet (as in their episode long challenges across a country) so i suppose the season finale will be that. I hope so anyway. It be a shame to go a season without one. Unless they save it for later on in the year when they film the winter episodes of this season.
[QUOTE=GunskiMod;23668350]I thought the new Bugatti's top speed was 260, but they did 269...jesus.[/QUOTE] Well they didn't know what it's actual top speed was until then. Actually, they still might not know it's true top speed, for all we know it could still go faster.

[QUOTE=jaybuz;23713300]Errrrrr... NO.[/QUOTE] Sure specials last 1 hour and a half? or at least 10-15 minutes over the hour mark.
Has anyone seen this? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDsGA890YUw[/media]

[QUOTE=Occlusion;23738644][B]FUCK [/B] Only 6 episodes this season. That sucks donkey balls.[/QUOTE] Still winter episodes to be filmed, ive applied for audience tickets but they say I wont be notified when they are up for grabs until they start filming of the winter lot.
[QUOTE=Occlusion;23738644][B]FUCK [/B] Only 6 episodes this season. That sucks donkey balls.[/QUOTE] Yeah, the length of the seasons are becoming more than a pisstake, I want all year round super awesome top gear, even if only one episode a month is packed with challenges and the like.
