i reckon it wasn't good as the previous ones... :)


I thought the previous 2 episodes were rather disappointing. The race accross the desert got boring, it seemed to drag on.

Shame they didn't include the RS6 in the estate battle like they have done in previous years... saying that, that was back when Tiff was at Top Gear.

I was mortified at the motorhome racing!

Each and every single one of them was better than mine!!

Enjoyed it though

Personally I'm really enjoying this series. Not only have they had some very good challenges but they've also had a couple of episodes lately where they've actually done some interesting (if not laugh a minute) car reviews! Didn't really get the point of the review of the two year old Alfa though. I have to say though, I think the number of cars that have been released in the last couple of years that are worthy of a review has dwindled dramatically!

Stil, I think they are doing a grand job of entertaining most people most of the time.

I'm sure i'm not the only one that notices this, but the standard of the camera work (shot and effects etc) seem to improve episode by episode.

The estate battle at the airport had some awesome camera tricks in it, and porevious episodes have had some brilliant shots too

oh and the motorhomes made me giggle, Hammonds was on 3 wheels most of the time!

Damn it! We had a power cut in the first 10 minutes of Top Gear, then the power came back on just 20 minutes after it finished. I'll have to catch the repeat mid week.
