I emigrated to the states a couple of years ago and Top Gear is one of the very few English shows I always make sure I'm up to date with (In this case I missed the first episode on BBC iPlayer, so I purchased it from Amazon). However, I often find the “star in the reasonable priced car” slots tedious. IMHO the slot is driven (pun intended) by whom ever has a film out right now... and I would say with some conviction that 75% of the "star in a reasonable priced car" features are kind of, weeell, boring. And frankly. Season 21, Episode 1 was no exception. The on screen chemistry and banter you get from these three old timers still amuses me. But I really do miss the good old days when they told you BHP, 0 - 60 and top speeds while at the same time showing you explicit under the bonnet pictures. These days you need to watch "reviews" of cars you are actually interested in with your hand on the pause & replay controls. Often they make me feel like I'm trying to watch that Sharon Stone scene in Basic Instinct.... leaning forward in my seat trying to find the “golden frame”, wrinkling my nose as I push back my glasses. Damn you if after all my efforts in the 90’s, all I saw was a vague bit of (VHS pause glitched out) fluff… at least I think that’s what I saw. Thankfully my digital gadgets work way better than my old VHS machine from the 90's…. But seriously? Who gives a toss about BHP, 0 to 60 times and top speeds? I do. I really do. Keep up the good work lads. |
