Damn you watched it already? If they didnt get shut down at BBC, i dont think they will get shut down on Amazon.. for pretty much anything.

It actually comes out at 4pm thursdays for us. but i came late from work and couldn't sleep. True. but the comments are already rolling in on Amazon.

AZuser

You referring to Hammond's comment?

Seemed tame to me.

Can't believe they destroyed a Subie though.

kurtatx

Yeah, that was actually a pretty good joke. Toyota gets so much shit for their trucks winding up in ISIS's hands.

These guys aren't getting shut down by Amazon.

asianspec

iTrader: (1)

nah it was the more obvious thing.

Yeah, but imagine all the love letters they will be receiving after this.

oonowindoo

I know what you talking about (The last segment)..... But is that even real? I mean they should know there will be backlash.

ttribe

Thought it was a great episode. The ISIS comment was nothing, IMO. Now, killing sheep...

thoiboi

Yeah I couldn't stop laughing at this.

11/10 would watch again this season. I hope they keep it up.

Who knows, but i want to see on the next episode if they talk about it .

AZuser

:fixed:

My guess is they were film props.

oonowindoo

I think so too. If they did kill them.... i dont think they are stupid enough to show it.... multiple times.

mrmako

I still wish they would let Abbie Eaton speak more than, "Right, lets do this". I think they could have her do the lap, then have her sit with them and discuss the car's handling / characteristics, but Jeremy would just be an.

oonowindoo

^ I think they are trying to build her into some kind of character. Similar to Sting who never spoke. That is just my guess.

Joneill44

A segment with her critiquing the cars would be cool but I dont think they have the time slot for it

oonowindoo

Fixed.

Joneill44

This season has been awesome

thoiboi

i mean he is British... so..

00TL-P3.2

Finally all caught up. Loved the WRC segment, wish they'd do more like that.
The sheep bit had me laughing, too.

And who doesn't love a good [Clarkson]Jaaaag[/Clarkson] segment?

mrmako

So does everyone else see the Celebrity Faceoff starts as Celebrity F-off? These guys are slick.

oonowindoo

I think that is the intend. If you saw the 1st ep, he introduced the segment as Celebrity F........ace off.

ttribe

Agreed. Such a HUGE improvement from last year.

Joneill44

Its pretty much TG at this point. They arent trying to be different like in the first season

oonowindoo

I just wish they could get bigger names in that Celebrity faceoff segment. It does not feel "too funny" since i dont know most of them

+1. I've been skipping through that segment recently

ttribe

Kiefer Sutherland?

00TL-P3.2

That's Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland to you.
I thought Goldberg & the boxer was better than most have been, they seemed to be having fun with it.

mrmako

Actually, I kind of like it. Most people we have never heard of and that's OK. You get to know different "famous" people than you are used to. It sure as hell beats a celebrity getting "blown up".

This season is waay better than season 1. I'm loving the segments they are doing.

kurtatx

Nick Mason is a fairly big name. Another solid episode. It's basically classic Top Gear now.

AZuser

8 episodes have aired so far @ 2 guests per episode, so 16 guests total. I know/recognized 9 of the guests. That's more than half.

episode 1
- David Hasselhoff : needs no explanation of who he is unless you've never seen Knight Rider or Bay Watch
- Ricky Wilson : lead singer for Kaiser Chiefs

episode 5
- Bill Bailey : don't know much about him but recognized his face and know he's a comedian
- Dominic Cooper : played Howard Stark in 1st Captain America movie and Agent Carter tv show; plays Jesse Custer on Preacher tv show.... have you not seen / watched these?

episode 6
- Luke Evans : have you not seen The Hobbit movies or the live action The Beauty and the Beast movie?
- Kiefer Sutherlan : needs no explanation of who he is

episode 7
- Goldberg : WWF/WWE wrestler

episode 8
- Stewart Copeland : needs no explanation of who he is unless you don't listen to/ have never heard of the band The Police
- Nick Mason : needs no explanation of who he is unless you don't listen to/have never heard of the band Pink Floyd

mrmako

And to quote Jeremy Clarkson on the Ford GT: "Jesus Christ"

ttribe

I'm loving this season. Thoe whole segment on the DB4LW/XJSS/TYPE-R was fantastic.

mrmako

That last episode... Man, driving a manual with no syncros? And the clutch hooked to the power steering pump in the XJ? You got one or the other with assist and not both. Damn.

iTrader: (5)

that just goes to show you how good of a driver you had to be back then... we got it easy now... and wait till we get more and more tech into the cars...

oonowindoo

Obviously i know who Hasselhoff is... I actually thought about adding the light strip when i got my first car. and of course Jack bauer.

But I was expecting being a new season and a new segment, they would try to bring Tom Cruise and Cameron Dias.

No idea who the others are

kurtatx

So today's female guest....surprisingly has it together. I thought she was completely in the gutter.

knight rider

iTrader: (1)

Pfft. She still seemed a bit air-headed to me. She does get points for being a bit of a car girl though.

mrmako

Her outfit begged "my eyes are up here", but she didn't seem too much of a space cadet. Now, her Bentley? Yeah, too much.
