Top Gear - Season 7

Anyone watching this at the moment?

The interview with the Transport Minister is hysterical

I thought Jeremy came over very well in that interview - he's under-rated as a journalist.

And the road safety minister was a very good sport too.

What has Hammond done to his teeth?

(BTW the SLK 55 is seriously uncool).

I thought the minister gave as good as he got - Jeremy was always going to give him a roasting over speed camera's. The Paris car park was definitely the highlight though - absolutely hilarious. With all Jeremy's experience you'd think he would have checked the car park out before hand.

I think they knew exactly what they were doing with that car park - it was a good illustration of a very real downside of the super-car. Poor old Hammond though, you'd go and have your teeth whitened, just because you might as well because they aren't going to shut up about it.

Apparently he hasn't had his teeth whitened..........or so he says ....i'd just admit it if i was him.

That Paris car park stuff was the best laugh i've had all week.......i thought Hammond was about to get clobbered at one stage.

Thay have got to have checked that car park out previously........

I also liked James May saying "I can drive fast if i have to" ......or something along those lines.

Great

if you didn't see it. watch the repeat... it's the best show ever.

The Paris Carpark must be the funniest TV i have ever seen. The 'Disagreement' between clarkson and little richard over the BMW M6, is just as funny.

To our Aussie chaps, we're getting it Monday nights on SBS. Cool eh?

Back on topic, my favorite TopGear moment was:
Simon Cowell: "Can we stop the competition now?"
Jeremy: "No we bloody well can't, ladies and gentlemen, next week we're inviting Damon Hill!"

And the Monaro review:
"Now, if you really want to, you can turn on the traction control, but you won't want to. Observe"
*Turns on TC*
Look out, pom aboard. You bloody woofter. Bloody pom, Pommy woofter. Backs too the wall! There's a pom about! My gran coulda taken that corner faster than you. Pommy *******. Watch out, pom aboa-
*Turns TC off*
"As you see, you'll be wanting to keep the traction control off"

I have to say i think that was one of the best yet. Complete escape-ism with them arguing over the supercars.

Top Gear is such a good programme, that even those who aren't interested in cars can enjoy it. It is always beautifully filmed, and the rapport between the presenters is a joy to behold. It is the best thing on the telly, in my opinion.

This week's episode will feature a similar 'stunt' but with Italian exotica, and rumours are that they made the Porsches look like paragons of reliability.
