They did a college car special. Tanner had a 91 Talon Tsi. He stated that he would not be where he is today without that car. He learned more abut driving in the Tsi than any other car he has driven.

I disagree. The last couple seasons of top gear uk were... bland.. They didnt do anything real funny like they used to. Top gear usa atleast has been amusing.. haveing fun and purposely destroying stuff.

Top Gear UK is by far one of the greatest shows EVAR.

I usually just watch it to see Clarkson and the boys rip into each other, and the spots they make for each car is done so well.

Top Gear US is painful to watch. Instead of going original they try to imitate Top Gear UK.

Lame.

Its sappost to be just like Top Gear Uk but with a US feeling. There just epealing to the us crowd. Its very USA. UK arnt trying to have fun any more.. just car reviews and jokes. Top Gear Usa Still has challanges every episode.It been years since UK has made a train with caravans.. or drove tiny cars thru their own office!

Oh and I dont stream anything anymore.. I can download it in a few minutes and then have no problems or rspam after that. Isohunt is my fav. Pirate bay is ok but not reliable.

Anyway. so I finally watched the episode. That was cool! If he didnt turn the talon into a parasale.... he should have won. Notice how they didnt show the talon going over the bumps in the baja short cut! Also the parasale talon had a sun roof. The talon he was using didnot. So theres a 20% chance that talon is still running.

Yeah motor windows and driveline was out of it.....I think a full weight talon wouldnt get that high in the air. Even stripped it still snapped the line.

In the latest Top Gear UK, they drag race in Vegas. They couldnt get over being beaten by a kid in a evo with 1500 pounds of mods, a older evo at that.

Love how all the shifting and revving never got the cars over 55. wink

THATS WHAT IM SAYING!

I been watching it for a long time too and ya... its lost that wacked out unpredictable humour. I was expexting Jeremy to put alot more effort in the computer girl. I soooo wanted to see the stig race those cars.. specially the viper to shut up all the americans. And the quad with the body siut? Hes done that before and had alot more fun with it. And the seasoj before last... they did nithing but review cars and talk politics.

Ya gotta admit they are getting old though maybe they just dont have the spunk left to do the big energy stuff. I still laughed hard at it. The reruns that I watch once a year still make me laugh but there is something about the first time watchign the newer shows and how much funnier they are. So happy to have a new season even if its a short one and less energy involved with it
