Is Top Gear on demand? ive been wanting to check out the new season.

 

[Kensington]

I'm watching on Netflix, which I'm assuming was the season before the latest

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Anyone watching the latest season?

Watching tonight’s episode, the “simulated sweat” and golfing was hilarious. Have half the episode to go.

 

[IDAFC21]

Watching now. I still hate those 2 northern knobs, but thank god for Chris Harris

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Harris is a definite plus. I don’t mind Freddy, he does some goofy stuff but seems more genuine and affable. The third guy, Paddy(?) not liking him.

I do miss the comoraderie between Harris and LeBlanc.

I just replayed the golf segment for the g/f who hates car shows. Even she was laughing at the bit.

 

[IDAFC21]

And finished. I will give Freddy all the props in the world for that bungie stunt. That was just pure insanity.

No matter who's on the show, it still manages to make me laugh like no other show. And thats why i still watch

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

You’ve got a massive set of berries on you.

I don’t even know where they are. They might be in my stomach. I won’t see them for weeks!

Gold.

Plus the mud fight. That was definitely unscripted and looked fun.

 

[IDAFC21]

And in typical top gear fashion, the cars won none of the challenges tonight.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Thanks for the reminder. Just checked and my DVR didn’t record it. F’ing directv.

Got it set to record in a few hours.

Yeah, but there was the quote, “that might be a pube”, ?

[IDAFC21]

"Its time like this I wish I couldnt see color"

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

My DipshiTV didn’t record it, or Lovecraft Country. WTF?

Half my guide has no info. Dammit.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

"Its time like this I wish I couldnt see color"

Just started to watch it at lunch. Damn that was funny, as was the test hit it did for the drag race.

 

[IDAFC21]

If this would have been the real crew, that totally would have been Hammonds car

 

[IDAFC21]

Tonights episode wasnt entirely horrible. Tho my opinion is they should still ditch the northerners and just let Chris Harris drive awesome cars for an hour and a half. And maybe also not call it top gear anymore. But I will say the soccer ball airbag segment was mildly amusing. And the return of a familiar face in

Spoiler

Sabine!!

was a welcome appearance, even if

Spoiler

she didn't really do anything.

The IDR segment w/ Harris was quite awesome.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

This should be on my DVR to watch. I'll have to check. I am liking Freddy, somewhat of a buffoon, but really affable and genuine. Paddy, he can go. Bring in someone else just to keep it interesting, that way you can get the "two against one" rivalry going on.

 

[IDAFC21]

Man, that piece they did on Colin McRae and the 95 WRC season was so great. Those really were the golden years of rally, and I miss them dearly. And that "cheat" system that toyota came up with has got to be one of the greatest cheats in motorsport history. It was so ingenious you really cant even be mad at them for it

At the same time, I can't believe its been 13 years already since McRae's death. Honestly still feels like I was reading the news yesterday.

Also, best line in the episode, "You're the best Chris Evans we've ever had!"

 

[IDAFC21]

This weeks epsisode. jesus Gotta say one of the more hilarious ones theyve had lately

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Was just about to comment. Just finished last night’s episode. That had seriously funny stuff in it.

That last bit, I’ve been in close proximity to what they encountered. Their reaction is definitely genuine. Don’t want to give it away.

 

[IDAFC21]

Harris genuinely dry heaving was both unsettling and freaking hilarious. I was also eating at that time, so that didnt help much, but I still couldn't help but laugh

 

[IDAFC21]

2 words. Ball soup.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Last week's/this week's was kind of a weak episode. I have to say, Paddy's bleached hair is really fucking distracting. He trying to channel George Michael or something? His "cheating" is getting kind of old too. At least when Clarkson did it, he did with originality and charm. Paddy just does it blatantly does gives no fucks. Wish they'd give the center stage attention to Harris instead.

 

[IDAFC21]

I will say one thing about Freddy, he TRULY has no fear of death or dismemberment
