If you like TG you shouldn't be writing on a thread entitled 'Tired Old Top Gear'

And we've officially exhausted that avenue! Maybe we should just forget TG and just meet up down the pub when it's on.

25 minutes to decide whether yet another 1 hour of my life will be wasted or enriched.

They are apparently playing football with cars - YAWN - haven't they tried this once before? I hope we are not paying for a repeated 1/2 hour of car football ..... !!!!!

Just don't bother watching it, obviously it will be another hour of your life wasted if you do. You'll probably feel more enriched spending that hour reading a few more chapters of Tony Blair - A Journey.

No. Totally different this time... It's rugby.

*groan* at the lack of originality of the feature. Quite apart from the fact it just ain't amusing/entertaining.

Lewis still can't decide whether its worth watching or not after all this time? Guy must be retarded or something. OR you just can't help yourself as really deep down you do enjoy it and must view it. Admit it, it is the latter.

OK, I know ...... I was just soooooo excited about those first 10 minutes that I was all beside myself.

Now, however, we get back to the boring 'set-up' road race ....... BORING!!!!!!

What's the betting that the race will have just a few seconds between each other?

What a crock of engineered crap!

Yep .... as predicted, and as done many times before.

This time I enjoyed the first 20 minutes .... the other 50 was mindless OLD, TIRED, bollox.

So I was right then. You found it to be tiresome and the same ole bollox but you still could not drag yourself away and viewed it all

I noticed that as soon as you typed it, but kind of put two and two together and realised your not that stupid and did it intentionally.

Tough luck sucker!

I didn't know she was a petrol head, she's owned cars most blokes would kill to own. Shes looking rather hot as well.

Yeah that road race sucked. "Oo the ferry is taking forever", well fecking use the tunnel then! And when he gets off the ferry - there's no-one else around, they waited for everyone else to go before setting up acamera on the ground and filming it. Also the number of times the range rover camera car was in shot was ridiculous. So basically they only go as fast as a Range Rover no matter what car it is

JC did say one time that the races were real and most of the footage was shot on the return leg. IMHO they're about as real as Coronation Street, and getting just as tedious.
