Repeat of the U.S Speacial is on BBC2 now. Watch it or you have AIDS of the soul.

Laughed the 2nd time around aswell, my mom actually watched it aswell which I found funny; she laughed her ass off at the cow bit.

I watched it, and tbh the drive through the wreckage of New Orleans was *much* more scary and worrisome than some red-necks throwing rocks.

which of the guys made the "richest nation in the world" quote? I was in the kitchen at the time and heard but didn't see.

What's even funnier is those rednecks will have likely gone to their local pisshole boasting about how they chased a bunch of English queers off their land.

heh, sucks to be them.

Youll get at least 20mins of random cunting about whether its a normal episode or not.

These days thats what the majority of their viewers are watching for.

psyco this isn't the first time they've spent money on cars and had adventures, although it's the first time an entire episode was dedicated to it.

They have bought porsches for £1500, bangers for £100, coupes for £1500, 70's sports cars for £10,000 and vans for £1000 or something, the vans one was the worst really.

My favourite episode is probably 703 where they take their favourite supercars to the Millau bridge, awesome ;)

Just because its a car show doesn't mean they have to review new cars.

There are fucking loads of brilliant cars around, just because they're getting on a bit doesn't mean they shouldn't be discussed. Great cars like the original BMW CSL, or the McLaren F1, Citroen DS, Bentley Blower, Gillet Vertigo, even something as mundane as a W126 Merc.

Who wants to see reviews about a Citroen Picasso? Go buy a magazine if you want sticky pages.

I quite like a balance, too much cocking about gets tiring just as much as too many reviews would. But really I like Top Gear a lot and would watch it either way. The part I care for least is star in a reasonably priced car, the interview is generally boring but it is fun to see how fast they all are.

Top Gear reviews aren't normally boring, even if they are doing segments alone, I love the one car each reviews since that makes for banter and fun with the guys but it's not essential that they mess around.

Was hoping for the Thunderbirds theme during the blastoff, guess not though shame it come back down to earth like that, least it went with a huge bang though.

Must watch Hot Fuzz.

Didnt have too many "REAL" lol moments unlike last week, but alas, wont be many things that make me laugh as hard as last week [Specially when im ill :'(]

I didn't feel that interested in the reliant rocket at first, but once it started looking like a proper space shuttle launch I was liking it. The launch was brilliant, that looked awesome the way it slowly moved away from the ground, worth doing imo :p

Getting fed up already of them showing trailers and plugging things now though, guests used to be on mostly just because of who they were, not what movie they are doing this week.
