The numberplate part!

[Eeyore]

Back to its usual shortness. Lots of witty hits and the numberplate bit was very good.

[7057sam]

Yeah kinda lame,looking forward to the American vs England one hopefully that's next week

It was chris's and no one knows if it was done for TV or magazine

Probably just me but I didn't think much of it last night, M6 was gorgeous but found the program in general a bit boring yesterday!

It was just a waste of time... they herd the cows with helicopters anyway.... so.... all the cars did was drive around a little bit... not herding in any shape or form....
So what did we learn? some man drove round a track in a time i neither can remember or care about... and some expensive cars didnt break for a week when driven in dusty conditions... but probably required a massive service once filming was over....

Anyone else tried watching it on iPlayer. It seems to just stop dead at about 40 mins

Yeah sorry the yellow Bentley

I laughed, thought it was great really. Its changed alot since it first started but its always funny and entertaining and thats good enough for me

[Niall]

30 control modules really isn't surprising these days. Everything is electronically controlled now days on most premium cars so it's not surprising!

I thought it was a really good episode. The BM looked great on the outside and made a great noise but the carbon fibre was just shite!!

Just got back from Top gear, Daniel Ricciardo is going to upset some people.  

It's going to be a really great show.

how long was the day ? 

Is all the laughter canned ??

[Ican]

To be fair it was long enough although it didn't seem it at the time. Arrived at 11am left just after 6pm.

Clarkson is a hoot and is genuinely funny the only canned laughter so to speak is when they have to do retakes and you hear the same jokes two or three times.
Alot gets edited out and they are effing and blinding the whole time and ripping into everybody very little airable as far as I could tell but I am sure they will manage without being taken off the air. 

[mattsrallye]

That sounds like a good day out! How did you get tickets? Was there a long waiting list?

[Ican]

This is where you get them but the lowest average waiting list was quoted as 16 years lowest to 74 years highest by the show organisers themselves:  http://www.applausestore.com

[Toms306]

16 years!? Will top gear still be running in 16 years?

[Ican]

It only took me five years, and at the show someone told me they also got tickets for next week lucky bastrd!
