Took another look at the ‘new’ Top Gear and “meh”!

I quite enjoyed the last two. McGuinness is annoying but he’s the Clarkson analogue, I think someone other than Flintoff might be better. Harris is obviously great and will always be great.
The wall of death was awesome, the super cars last week were a lot of fun although I can’t believe Paddy bloody crashed one and the wall of death was interesting too. The hire cars were a lot of fun this week, and I sort of enjoyed the family car bit.
As I mentioned above, when will people just not watch it instead of watching it and then gleefully declaring they hate it? I feel like making the effort to say that you can’t even make the effort to comment or even to type +1 etc is immensely hipstery. “Oh I’m too cool to like Top Gear, I liked it before it was good, now where is my beard oil and my checked shirt?”
Well I watched it back in the eighties with Tony Mason, Chris Goffey and Tiff Needell. It’s a programme featuring cars so it’s already got the advantage over bake up, sew off and pretty much any other ‘popular’ programme. As I said, you don’t legally have to like it, you’re allowed to think that the Clarkson Hammond and May episodes were better and it hasn’t been a ‘car show’ since I was a child.
Although go back and watch some of those old eps on Dave and You might find they haven’t aged that well IMO... ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

Chris Harris sat down with Joe Rogan in 2014 - never seen this before or knew it even happened.
Quite interesting |
Thanks for that, yeah it is quite interesting.
It's weird, I agree with a lot of what he has to say, we share a lot of opinions about cars in general and the industry in particular, but I've never been able to warm to him.
It was fascinating hearing him talk about Top Gear and saying that nobody wants to do that kind of show, because it will always be a pale imitation (yet I always thought he came across as Clarkson lite on his YT channel) but now here he is, not only doing it, but positively embracing it.
In fact, he finds himself being a peculiar amalgam of May, Clarkson and Hammond, the small angry man, that likes to drive fast and knows a bit about how cars work.
I do think this latest incarnation of TG has been the most successful
since Clarkson et al and maybe that's why, Flintoff and McGuinness do the cocking about, while Harris does the car bore stuff, so from an audience perspective, it has a foot in each camp. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........
