Thought that was a bit shite to be honest. $:-\$

Brillant episode...well anything that make fun of the rednecks are entertaining anyway

Was fucking superb that, like has been said, a lot of stuff on Top Gear has been staged, and no doubt many parts of that were, but i'm pretty sure the almost lynching at the garage wasn't.
If it was however, superbly written stuff!

Class episode. I couldn't believe the garage bit with all the rednecks. That was scary. It reminded me of the film wrong turn for some reason.

The moment when Hammond put his eyes back on the road when he reached 50mph was priceless! He must have been terrified

You think that'll stop the vegeterians complaining? FFS, you're not allowed to wear a fur coat that's been dead for 50 years these days...

Next week's looks just as good. From the advert i've just seen it looks like they attempt to blast a robin relianth into space with a big fat rocket

watched it a couple o times on telewest (virgin media) replay and i can't over the sight of a cow strapped to the car.

also the bit where clarkson says "just remembered I've got loads of petrol" and zooms off while the inbreds go for the rest

classic

This Week's Show
Do not adjust your set. The monstrosity you see before you is a Reliant Robin rocket. Yes, this week Top Gear is aiming for space... and beyond.

Space travel
The challenge is a simple one: to build a cheap space rocket based on a car.

Enter a reluctant-looking Reliant Robin and the nice men from the British Rocketry Association (the same chaps who helped fire the Mini off the ski-jump in the TG Winter Olympics Episode) armed with enough rocket fuel to generate eight tonnes of thrust.

Will TG's biggest challenge yet go down in flames or prove as explosive as, ahem, pro-homosexuality slogans in Alabama? It's an episode not to be missed.

Turbo fan
James and Richard love the Porsche 911. Jeremy hates it.

So with a new 911 Turbo out, it seemed only fair to let Captain Slow and the Hamster take it for a blast. However, it seemed far funnier to hand the 480bhp supercar over to JC to see whether it was good enough to convert a life-long Ferrari fan.

Top Pegg
There aren't many celebrities that rave about the performance of our Chevrolet Lacetti. But after being relegated to rural police duties in a Vauxhall Astra diesel for his new cop comedy Hot Fuzz, Simon Pegg leapt delightedly into our Reasonably Priced Car for few hot laps of the TG track.

Fine tuning
Apparently a 612bhp Mercedes SL65 AMG is a bit sedate for some people. So when the boys found out that unhinged German tuners Brabus offer a 720bhp version of the SL, they thought it only polite to introduce the SV12 S BiTurbo to our test track...and the Stig. Will the most powerful roadster in the world prove too much even for our tame racing driver?

Find out on Sunday 18 February at 8pm on BBC Two.

Can't wait to see the Robin Reliant flying

Last chance to see last Sunday's episode this evening BBC3 @ 7pm. I've set the sky+.

gray19lfc · « **Reply #150 on:** February 18, 2007, 08:22:12 pm »

On again now.

Won't be as funny as last week's but should be a good laugh. They're trying to turn a Reliant Robin into a space rocket. Best thing is, they're dealing with some "rocket scientists" from Manchester

Absolutely brilliant! That was a Reliant Robin flying that high in the sky

Oh, sorry I thought you were talking about tonight's show - which has just finished.

I agree, some of the nuts things that happen on the show are a little far fetched - like the caravan fire.

Oh yer, I remember that. that was soooooooooo fake. great show nevertheless.

I thought some of the rocket scenes looked fake as hell. CGI deployed in some places surely.

It was funny though...
