Post-show discussion of episode four, and behind-the-scenes with James and the Nissan GT-R

Exceptions to rules often carry greater salience and potential educational value : Therefore, the ( preplanned but .. ) otherwise unannounced ( by our customary turbulence ) arrival of a rather large dragon yesterday. It had nothing to do with the premature pain, physical crumpling and cognitive detachment / disjointment that coincided with it. P(lu)s, The unexpected tends to be fun, eg : Tuesday – From the noise in the split-instant, an absolutely belting helicopter was expected, but what turned up, over the water and several miles in-land from its show that day, was a Lancaster Bomber, beautifully low, perfectly just-off bang over head ( purr ) and even better for comming quite literally out of the ( -bloody- ) blue ..

Is perturbed ..

You could see, in the long run the Jag would have had the GTR, it had a bad start, bat at the finish line it was just behind the Nissan, 300 feet more I recon and the Jag would have won

I have seen a GTR with 800 bhp beaten in a drag race by a VW at
German Racewars

The Jag XKR-S is not the most powerful jaguar ever made, the Jaguar XJ220 has something like 549bhp whereas the XKR-s has 542 plus the xj220 is FAR better at being what it was built to be. I also think the XKR-s is better looking than the GT, has more badge prestige and is British thus I prefer it.

I wonder if they really are going to buy themselves the GT-Rs

Another really good episode as it featured mainly… cars.
The legend of the GTR just continues to grow!
What an awesome car. I have never seen anything leave another powerful car(the Jag),as if it was standing still.Yet practical,4 useable seats,decent boot…(I’m looking at you Mr.Veyron!)
Good to have petrolhead and McClaren F1 owner Rowan Atkinson on.I said to my wife this is rare seeing him give any type of interview..he must have something to plug..and sure enough,he has Johnny English 2 coming out! At least he he a “car guy” AND got to the top of the leader board.
Cars as trains I did not enjoy as much as rather scripted and “forced” as usual.

for people who say the Jag would have “had it” in a longer straight???

GTR top Speed 196 mph, 0-60 3 seconds
XKR-S Top Speed 186mpg, 0-60 4.2 seconds

NO.

PS.
It’s faster than a god damn Veyron and any road legal Zonda around the TG track! Get over it, it’s better than the Jag.

Hey guys,

its awesome but i prefer a f1 car

awesome classic top gear episode!
loved the car-trains, seriously good idea!
cant wait till next sunday

‘Look mummy, there’s an aeroplane up in the sky’. ( The album that got us into music ( ‘and the generals gave thanks ..’ ), had every nook and cranny of it, and the film ( note – was mature enough to keep it in context ), memorized ( ‘and the worms ate into his brane ..’ ) by the age of nine. ) (( ‘I’ve got a little black book with me poems in’ – This ( bouble bracket excepted ) ‘Floydian Slip’ was typed for other reasons around twelvetwentyeight pm today and, bar typos, we’re obliged not to potter aboutside of this set of brackets. Ps, almost used ‘If you should go skating on the ..’ last, and earlier this, week + Yes, the Ec3 one show is indeed a ( n accidental ) condensed example of the same variable ‘used’ in Ep4. ))

Are worried about spilling Cantor Dust onto Sierpinski’s Carpet ..

well
jag suck aaand thats all.
нууу
ягуар сосёт и этим всё сказано.

The series are great so far. I loved the trains guys came up with, and Rowan Atkinson’s a genius, well deserved the first spot on the board.

PS: Jeremy’s belly’s getting bigger every series.

I need this car now!!!!!! <3

Andy Wilman thought the internet might not like this episode? Strange. The producer of Top Gear is concerned about what the I – watch -Top Gear – via – illegal – internet – download demographic thinks.

Personally, I’m more concerned about the dolts who post here complaining about the delay in BBC America airing butchered episodes. They are online and can’t figure out how to download Sunday’s top Gear episode 20 minutes after it finished airing on BBC2?

I’m imagining what happens during executive level BBC Top Gear meetings:

“The numbers on last week’s show are in!”

“12 year old girls, + 3.5%.”

“Binge drinkers watching Top Gear in pubs, -0.5%.”

“FinalGear members who argue about the length of James May’s hair, +1.7%.”

“FinalGear members who argue about the length of Richard Hammond’s hair, -.04%.”

“FinalGear members who chipped in cash and bough Richard Hamond a helmet with a hamster painted on it after the jet car crash only to have Richard wear it precisely one time on camera, -45.6%.”

“45-65 year old women shoppers who personally met Richard Hammond at a supermarket and think he has dreamy eyes, +63.8.”

“Viewers who would change the channel if they weren’t to lazy to replace the batteries, +1.9.”

“Americans who have noticed Clarkson’s bitching about fat Americans and cheese is inversely proportional to his own weight, +23%. (Beer belly Jeremy has been strangely silent about fat Americans lately.)”

“Hey, what about prison viewership? Do we have any numbers on that?…….”

“Rowan Atkinson was actually pretty boring as a guest for me despite the fact i love his work, he clearly wasn’t prepared to give much of himself and was simply there to plug his movie.”

He gave precisely enough of himself to obliterate the track record. what do you want, blood?

Dear Top Gear,
it’s a shame Nissan dealerships are a dodgy place to go in Oz.Im sure people would buy their cars with that standard of eager presentation.
I pulled 5500 rpm and dumped the clutch on the mighty Daihatsu 16 valve Pyzar last week it outrun a 2003 Club sport Holden trying too.She was literally smashing the dash and was totally pissed.on a private road/.
Why are drivers so mean nowadays ?
even plastic fings like mine can be enjoyed?
i want to drive the Nissan too and not on need for speed carbon.
regards LandRoverPETER.

i`m a big fan of this TV-show,even i am living in china which i can NOT watch it on television because of the unfriendly Ruling party,anyway,i support u guys ! gear up GO GO GO ~!!!!!

Im sorry Top Gear fans, fanatics and die hard people but this episode was a mixture of good and bad, well mostly a capital B for BAD. Rowan’s interview along with his lap round the Top Gear track along with the Nissan and Jaguar sequences were good Top Gear quality. It would be nice to see the Nissan and Jaguar have a section on British typical roads to quantify why the Jaguar is not that great on public roads the Nissan is better according to Clarkson.

I thought the caravan trains section was ridiculous and was a very poor concept by Andy Wilman along with the producers and directors who did that sequence. It reminded me of a poor Series 13 episode that was way too scripted and forced with too many clinches in between. Was not funny at all and was not an interesting to watch and caravans have been done to death too many times on Top Gear.

Overall this episode because of the poor caravan trains section takes the unfavourable crown of worse episode of the series so far in my opinion despite the Rowan interview and the Nissan and Jaguar bits were interesting. I hope Top Gear improves its standards for this Sunday’s upcoming episode.

Comptine d’Un Autre Été

LOVE TO SEE JEREMY AND JAMES AGREE ON SOMETHING.. usually they often arguing.. I like Jeremy more than the other two presenters.. I don’t know why.. At first when I first watched TOP GEAR 9 years ago, I simply watch it because of Richard (cause he cute).. But now I’ve become more attracted towards Jeremy because of his charisma (I think).. I always agree on what Jeremy is saying..

The level of how fanatic I am on TOP GEAR is I download all seasons; 1st season to 17th season onto my laptop. I started it about 3 years ago.. I never get bored doing that because it worth it.. Top GEAR did heal my short term depression once.. It happened when I got frustrated after watching the ending of the 8th season of 24 drama series.. (I know it sound silly but it’s true because I LOVE JACK BAUER so very much.. and I did download the 24 series too into my collections)

After about 3 weeks of bad mood, I decided that I need to laugh so I need something to make me laugh/happy. I searched the internet for new movie, but nothing caught my eyes and suddenly I remembered TOP GEAR that i already have on my laptop. so there it is!!! YOU GUYS HEAL ME..

What a crock of rubbish that train piece was.
