and what if you do like the show and have an interest in it yet your posts are not overly positive?

Also liked the shots of them racing from the lights on the Vegas strip, I like Vegas anyway so always nice to see it in a programme.

Rover 800, done Pro Street style.
Rover 800 used to be quite common as an Area car/Traffic division car years ago.

I was amazed they didnt mention this, with the obvious F1 connection. Instead we got the old ageing rocker twaddle "we were stoned all the time taking drugs" that they all come out with.

These posts spoil the show for me. So what if its an average episode I think the same can be said for most TV show debates in this part of the forum. And yes the first two episodes have been just ok but it's still the best thing on TV by a mile.

I say just enjoy the programme.

I don't see why if you're happy with an episode that someone else who didn't should then spoil your enjoyment.

As you say the same can be said with other shows and not everyone will be satisfied be it due to their own preferences or what has happened in the show itself, or a mixture of the two. Even with a highly watched show, someone is bound not to like it and unless you're part of the show's production, you shouldn't take it personally.

As far as I can see, it's not 'the usual moaners', it's people who do enjoy the show but found that this episode lacked something - as I did. There's nothing wrong with that; that's what you get on a discussion forum, people's own opinion and it may not be always positive all the time, i.e I love love the comedy Fraiser but there are a handful of episode where I could kick in a character, or the script's a little limp, or whatever.
That said though I could possibly understand your point if it was posts spitting vile sentiments about the programme week-by-week. .

Africa Adventure 2.0 ahoy.

I wonder if Hammond finally took out James' rear window.

It's not at all hard to get hold of, though, and watching it now, it's understandable why it's been quietly brushed under the carpet. It's not actually *bad* or anything like that, but it just feels "wrong" compared to Clarkson/Hammond/May TG.

Four-wheeled fun with Jezza and co. Can the boys drive from Switzerland to North West England on one tank of fuel? James tests a Pagani Zonda F Roadster, and Harry Enfield guests.

No way is that series 1 episode 1?

Harry Enfield has been on twice. The first on the first episode and the second to avenge his famously poor showing on the track, some seasons later. So the above isn't series 1, episode 1.

Is that really the first series with no james may and the chubby guy who talked about second hand cars?

Then it's pretty likely you won't get criticized on here.

It's Series 12 Episode 4
Looks like the person who does the EPG saw Zonda and Enfield and looked up the wrong episode.

[Nicola_T]

Here's the Harry Enfield episode that is confusing you: Series 12 - Episode 4.

I see the newspaper that supported Hitler is "up in arms" over the penis stunt.

I love the way the Daily Racist manage sot make out that Twitter and a few nutters on it is somehow "public opinion"

[Rip the TV Eye]

I suppose the big disappointment in the last episode was the lack of V8s, and my disappointment was even more acute as they were in America, on the back of road-testing those three muscle cars.

I mean, Jezza and May had even done Hammond a favour by disconnecting two of the cylinders, making the engine better (it sounded better when it started up) and he had to go and hook them back up again. Why?

How will we ever go on now that one Twitter user has made a negative remark about the show?

It's sure for the axe.

[linkinpark875]

Out of interest the bit where they were on the drained lake or whatever it was. They said some Hollywood movies were filmed on it.

It looks familiar can anybody tell me if Fast and Furious and In Time were filmed there?

There is a list of some of the films made there on Wonkypedia, probably more in IMDB.

Do you mean the storm drains in LA? oft used in films and TV shows

[degsyhufc]

Terminator 2 was a famous one surely?

[Gulftastic]

Grease is possibly more famous.

[Nicola_T]

And Repo Man...you melon farmers.

[Rodney McKay]

One of my fav TG's on now on Dave. Clarkson doing the Ford Fiesta road test for Mr Needham

[trevgo]

I succumbed to watching a bit - three grown men powersliding a penis and two testicles on an LA storm drain.

And people wonder why I say it is an insult to anyone's intelligence.
