Well, that's how it appeared here.
Different camera angles etc, but the buildings were familiar as were the top gear skid marks from their track layout.
Hey, we can all get on.

What a damn good episode they pulled out tonight.
Bit of childish fun from Hammond. A really passionate review of the 1 M// from Clarkson, a mildly interesting star, a fun race with May and then a
really evocative tribute to the E-Type.
Anyone who could't find anything they enjoyed in that lot really isn't a petrol head.
Hopefully it will set the standard for the series.

I've never bothered to take part in a TG bashing post before so I guess my words won't mean much to most on here, but here goes
nonetheless...
The only negative in my 35 yr old, yet relatively childish (blokish) intellect, was the first few seconds of the 1M video. ie. It could have started
with precision driving and a bit of wheelspin, but no, they had to say that the car Is only capable of "this" behaviour...

I enjoyed it 
Anything is better than 5th gear with Vicki Munter- Henderson - met her and not not only is she VERY average looking she's also a VERY average
driver and a proper lesbian (which is her choice and not something I have a problem with btw) so don't loose any sleep over her gents.......
then there is Jason Plato who probably now has to have a separate race truck to contain all the excuses as to why he can't win without trying in
BTTC (or whatever it's called now) anymore - hint SIGN FOR A TEAM THAT HAS TURBO CARS IF YOU THINK THEY'RE FASTER........and then there is
some random fat bloke......... yawn

Personally I prefer improper lesbians! 
When she and her brother were interviewed on Radio4 she talked about her wedding (to a man). And again, it was mentioned when she was interviewed in
Sunday Times magazine a couple of years ago.
Nor according to her wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicki_Butler-Henderson
"Butler-Henderson is married to former Fifth Gear producer and current Top Gear Series Director, Phil Churchward"
Now, I realise this might all be a smoke screen... but really?
Cheers,
James

Ahhh you're one of them. Miserable losers who when they don't like something claim they 'have a life' so don't do it.
I have a life as well, had a great active Sunday with my Girlfreind and then my evening involved watching Top Gear and enjoying a cold beer and some
nice food.
What exactly were you doing between 8 and 9pm in this amazing life of yours? Walking the Amazon? Volunteering for the NSPCC? Campaigning for Human
Rights in China? Writing a novel? Painting an impressionist masterpiece?
Or more likely moaning about things on the internet. It's YOU who needs to get a life and realise that just because people like different things
to you doesn't mean you have a more valuable life.

I did enjoy last nights episode, Hammonds bit was funny, no where near as funny as the Reliant Robin episode, and the 10 minutes of E Type tribute was
definately my thing, seeing how cramped Clarkson was in that OTS, reminds me of driving my coupe in the early 80s, and that buying a 2+2 a couple of
years back was the right move.

Good show last night; enjoyed the E-Type tribute and the tea tray lady in particular.
Always improved by a bottle or 2 of Greene King IPA

VBH also has a baby now as well as a husband.
But even if she were a plain looking lesbian, thats a rather simplistic reason not to like someone surely?

My brain must be wired the wrong way as it was the Hammond segment that was the low-light of the show for me!

Same here, it was all a bit pointless but the rest of the show more than made up for it.

Can someone tell me please.
Have they 'properly' had the Mclaren MP4-12C on yet? I know it was briefly shown in the studio only last series but as far as I know they
didn't do the usual review and Stig test.
I know they've filmed it... so where the hell is it??? Or have I missed it somehow? 
Cheers,
James

Lol must have been a 'phase' she was going through then anyway I'm sure she's very nice when she's not
'being' VBH but she is SERIOUSLY average looking and tbh I've never understood why grown men start acting like oversexed teenagers
around her

If it's the one I'm thinking of it did have the Stig test (based on the Enzo-ish?) but iirc they took it off on the basis that it's
not a production car or something along those lines.

top gear magazine this month has a 458 v mp4-12c on the front cover on the test track - so its definalty coming in the next few weeks
