Not so Captain Slow

So the second show of the new series has burst onto your screens and, compared to last week’s show, it hasn’t – fingers crossed – upset anyone. Unless lots of people have decided to complain that it was unusually about cars for once.

But the biggest shock about Sunday’s Top Gear wasn’t the lack of complaints, or that nothing fell over, exploded or crashed through a brick wall. No, it was the sight of Captain Slow being… not slow.

No one was more shocked than Jeremy as the Cadillac CTS-V speared past him with James at the wheel, suddenly gripped with an uncommon love of what he might previously have called ‘ungentlemanly driving’.

So what’s going on here? Well, we reckon two things are to blame. Firstly, his previous mission to max the Bugatti Veyron which we suspect gave him a taste for velocities in excess of the steady 49mph he might normally enjoy in his Panda. And secondly, the day he spent with Jackie Stewart which gave him the instruction and encouragement he needed to unlock the inner speed demon.

But if you thought the sight of a slightly excitable Captain Slow gunning his Caddy was strange and alarming, just wait until next week’s show when James goes to Finland to find out why the locals are so good at motorsport and gets his hands dirty again with some proper wheelsmithery. At this rate we may have to seriously consider changing his nickname…

Stopped watching the show yonks ago no ones allowed an opinion except that pratt clarkson, could someone explain what the shows all about ime an ex professinal driver (packed up due to all you pratts on the road)& ive never once seen any cars driven like this lot do, whats the point? you dont chuck rollers in to bends like they do & ive never yet seen any of these luxury cars doing doughnuts, about the only ones ive seen driving like this are the kids in older beemers, hot hatches that are passed there sell by date, & half you lot after a night out on the piss, saw the american episode what a load of crap i dont know which engine option the challenger had but considering shorthouse has owned american muscle before he should have been able to do better than that, & if i remeber rightly clarksons vet was a manual thats the easiest thing in the world to do a long smokey burnout in, lets hope this show goes the way of lots of others in this present climate, IN THE BIN & no i dont own a 998cc econo car my daily ride is your normal middle price saloon but my summer weekend/ fine weather ride is a american 1969 plymouth with a warmed over big block that reguarly gets thrashed up santa pod, thankfully not much euro tin gets up there to the meets i attend otherwise ide have to give that up as well, long live overhauling, barry white customs, & shows like that not the crap we put on over here. you’llhave a nice day.
