Re: Top Gear is back!
 
Without a doubt the Alfa was the best looking. Indeed Alfa have got it spot on with their current series of cars in that you instinctively know you are looking at one. So many other manufacturers car's are non descript and seem to blend into each others marques. But as for performance that Alfa just didn't cut it, from what is supposed to be a stable of sporting thoroughbreds :(

So what happened to the people carrier versus train then :erm:

Great to see Hammond back but he is a shadow of his former self as his eyes are "wide awake" shall we say.

Am bemused though as to how he is allowed to drive and originally thought last week some of the footage must have been filmed prior to his accident but tonights show proved that wrong.

I thought you had to wait at least 6 months after any kind of brain injury before being given or getting your licence back.

Although tonights show may have been cleverly edited as his spin in the RX8 was on a test track and not much close ups on public roads.

As far as I am aware most footage from the early epsiodes of this series will have been from before the accident, or shot in the last few weeks. I am sure I read in the papers a few weeks back that he was just recently given the all clear to drive again and, was photographed riding a Motor bike and also filming his first Top gear scenes showing that he was back driving again.

Back to this week. The whole show had me in stitches, but the scenes of them getting chased and stoned by a bunch of rednecks was too funny. However it must have been pretty scary.

Incredibly funny episode. The American Stig, something like half-a-tonne heavier. And the cow on the car. Road kill - yeah right :D But the locals though - friendly huh.

Last night had all the family in hysterics. The possum/squirrel/cow bit cracked me up. How do you follow that tho?
