the 2nd one was good, i could actually watch it without cringing at the presenters, i MUCH prefer this to the old bellend triplets churning out their shit

I hear they are big fans of you, too...

But the new amazon top gear isn't out yet?

No it isn't. September this year IIRC.

I'm just 10mins into the 2nd episode of TG and I don't know... Evans is still shouting and so unfunny....

Caught the first episode on the iplayer then watched last nights...certainly not as bad as a lot of the reviews and online comments have said.

I guess it all boils down to liking Evans or not. Some people don't so there's very little that could be done to please them.

I thought this 2nd episode was stronger. 

I don't think Evans will ever be quite my cup of tea for this sort of thing but I enjoyed it a lot.

I like Evans usually, but for some reason I can't bring myself to watch this.

I enjoyed it last night - I hope they get a chance to pull it around.

I have just finished 2nd episode and I must say it was much better than first 10mins which were dull.
I always liked TG trips out to exotic locations and this one was quite fun
No, I certainly won't like Evans but as soon as he doesn't go very OTT I don't mind him either.
LeBlanc was good and there's a potential there.
Overall - not too bad.

Really good. At this rate it'll be back into the realms of "excellent" by the end of this run.

I thought that was the best episode of Top Gear I've seen in years.

Certainly streets ahead of anything in the last series.

What's going on with Chris Evans' hair? It doesn't look very happy.

I don't know.  There's red hair, there's ginger hair... but it's the first time I've ever seen pumpkin hair.

Is he Donald Trump in disguise?

I thought it was really good. Some funny moments and a nice mixture if guests. Eddie Jordan was a good sport, genuinely funny when he had the keys taken off him.

I other news, my cousin and his mates built the McLaren 675 Chris and JB were hooning

I'm absolutely loving Matt, so dry. In the first episode it came across a little like bad presenting, but it might just be because I was expecting him to be charismatic and stuff because of Joey. Paired up well with Tinie Tempah too. It's a shame to viewing figures dropped so much because it was really good this week.

Hmmm, maybe I need to give it another go, the first episode made me want to hide behind the wallpaper.

Really quite enjoyed last nights episode - Chris Harris is perfect for the features like that.

Also really rather pleased with the review of the Focus, seeing as I've got one on order....

Looking forward to watching this week's as soon as I've finished Game of Thrones
