This sunday 20:00 UK time BBC 2, Top Gear episode 1 season 15!

Richard Hammond drives the Aston Martin Rapide.

I always laugh about those quotes at top gear, They can't review a car seriously, but that is the fun thing about it

So i am really looking forward to view this season

Top Gear is a load of B######ks these days, Yeah Im not looking for a proper car review as in what great window wipers the cars have, but they dont tell you anything at all about them anymore. Its barely about cars anymore, Its just three middle aged men now trying to be comedians, when theyre not, theyre presenters.

That wouldnt be so bad if it was actually funny, which it isnt. It lost its spontnuity and charm 2 seasons ago, ans is quickly going the way of the simpsons - Used to be amazing, now obvious rubbish

/Rant over

I like the challenges as they are usually pretty funny but I wish they would review regular cars. I'm never going to own an Aston Martin or a Porsche (don't want either as I don't like them but I like the Enzo and F40!) but I will own a regular car one day. They need to bring back Tony Masson's rally reports. They were really good.

Bit of info about what is hapening in this series:

I think it needs new blood, or a major change in its format.

It's got pretty boring recently.

I like this show a lot, but at the ripe age of 15 it should be euthanized. IMO.

Memo to the Tog gear team.

Stop the stupid staged "races" and non automotive rubbish, and stick to fast cars and giving us the enthusiast an insight into these cars.
Head to heads in like for like machinery is a must.

The bullet train Vs GTR was crap and staged.
The Ferry vs the SLR was rubbish and gave us only 3 minutes of the car in a 13 minute piece!
The Bugatti Veyron against aeroplane could have been done better too!

I really enjoyed when they went across the Kalahari in 3 "african" cars.
It was real and gave us insight.

Just keep it real guys, forget the fluffy hollywood crap.

You can delude anybody if you have a big enough budget.
All the staged crap annoys me no end.
Even my 80 year old Aunty could do most of it.
They should all be made to shave their heads and go brrm brrm.

Not allot people are going to own a Aston Martin, or Ferrari of what sort of car they review. But i think it is funny how Top Gear makes fun about these cars like they are toys and play stupid games with them

And they quited with reviewing normal cars because they can't say anything normal about it, when Jeremy tells something about a normal car you get episodes like these:

Then don't watch it and you won't know about it.

Probem solved! My invoice will be in the post.

I only ever watch the bits where JK makes a fool of himself anyway.

JK? You mean JC surely. If they got rid of Richard Hammon I think it would improve a bit.

No I mean JK from Jamilo----whatever.
Thinks he is a racing driver, sad realy.
Clarkson is silly all the time, no point bringing attention to the biggest motor mouth on the brain dead rapping scene is there.
I sometimes wonder if he knows the difference between a car and a bowl of flowers.

Oh aye, Jay Kay from Jamiroquai (I think that's how it's spelt). He is a wazock!

Jamiroquai is not on the rap scene. If you really want to say something bad about everyone, at least choose one thing that is correct. His music is good and, actually, bringing him to the show is one of the best things that happened in a show that got bad over time by becoming agenda to combat another agenda and focusing on the "fun" only. I can't remember the last time it was actually fun or made a good review.

Jamiroquai has good music and likes cars, they made a good guest choice that had lots to talk about and was in context with the show. He being a motor mouth only confirms this, as it is a motor show. You realise that, unless you are here undercover, you are a motor head also, right?

Autogyro, are you the Brit version of this?
