Mine recorded, but have yet to watch it. I was watching Apollo: The Forgotten Films, which is pretty neat. I’ve already seen some of the footage they’re using when I saw Apollo 11. What blew my mind is that they used cameras that recorded the launch at 500fps, in 1969.

Watched it. I think last week was better, but this did okay. There a scene about 10-12 minutes in, where Paddy is bragging about his car, and Freddie just silently destroys any manhood Paddy might have had. Harris was stunned.

New episode reminder for tomorrow night!! I actually fucking remembered this time, had to reinstate the DVR recording again since for whatever reason it just doesnt think this season is a new season.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Mine's all set. Actually, been set since last year, haven't had to touch it. Same with all the F1 stuff, MotoGP, and Rick & Morty. Think the only thing I've added recently was Reno 911!

Episode description says "Fearless Fred Flintoff attempts F1 Stock Car Racing; Chris Harris gets a call offering a Mercedes AMG One test drive."


Allllllllllright


I dont know what F1 stock car racing is, but if Freddie is piloting it, I'm expecting the car to be flipped over by the end of it

 

[IDAFC21]

starting this now

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Oh, yeah, watched it last night. Nothing really stands out except for Freddie’s adventure.

 

[IDAFC21]

Nice to see AMG still haven't ironed out all the problems in the One yet ?

 

[IDAFC21]

So THATS what an F1 stock car is Just your standard dirt track racer

Freddy has no chance

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I would not want to be the person that had to bring it back.

 

[IDAFC21]

eh, you were right. kind of a meh episode. Next week looks promising tho

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

So, it occurred to me a while ago that Freddie Flintoff looked like someone I knew, that was vaguely familiar, but I couldn't quite remember who it was.

EmersonHart13, look like anyone you might know? Maybe a relative?

That's my boyfriend from another father.

For some reason, going off of having met you only once on the 2021 tour, my brain sees a resemblance. No disrespect.

 

[IDAFC21]

Hmm. My last post was dec 2nd, and I have not watched any episodes since then since my fucking dvr refused to record them this season.

Oh well.

Freddie Flintoff: Top Gear filming halted by BBC after accident

The BBC said it would be "inappropriate" to resume making the popular TV show's new series for now.

The hell, was he seriously hurt? Doesn't sound like it from the article. Does seem like maybe some sort of negligence may have been a factor? But it also sounds like an investigation didn't uncover anything worth pursuing. I mean hell, hammond crashed a jet car at 200mph, rolled a rimac down the side of a hill and set it on fire, and they just kept going

May friggin drove his Evo full speed into a wall in the last amazon special, and they still finished the special!

A little update on the show, and Feddie.

BBC Denies Canceling ‘Top Gear’ as Rumors Swirl

The historic TV show still has a chance yet, despite ten months of being on hiatus following presenter Freddie Flintoff’s “horrific” crash.

www.thedrive.com

The release some details. I guess he was in a three-wheeler that went over, and wasn't wearing a helmet since it was a street car. Broken ribs, and lots of damage to his face. He was a great host, and hope he makes a full recovery.
