No. It was an arrow, from the toy archery set that Richard and Jeremy were playing with...

Exactly, Mal - they had a games arcade in the rear of the car. The paintballing was a bit of slaughter though. And the water cannon when Clarkson left his car - what a wally :D

Re: Top Gear is back!
 

What's happening with Top Gear then? Have they had enough and just completed the last ever series?

BBC

Re: Top Gear is back!
 

I hope there's going to be a new series... :(

Re: Top Gear is back!
 

There so better had be another series, man it would blow if that was it, what about all the hilarious acts they did. It cannot die it's a friggin tv legend in the making is Top Gear.

Re: Top Gear is back!
 

BBC have confirmed it will be back for the summer special AND a new series... And they anticipate all 3 returning...

So I don't know what Clarkson is on?

Anyone watch it? I was laughing all the way through it. :D

Re: Top Gear is back!
 

Anyone else think Clarkson's quip about The Stig being mistaken for a Brazilian electrician on the tube was a bit distasteful?

Re: Top Gear is back!
 

Uhhh?

Re: Top Gear is back!
 

De Menezes was the Brazilian electrician who was mistaken for a suicide bomber & killed on the tube...

Re: Top Gear is back!
 

His pop at Sir Paul Mcartneys ex was funny, I love the guy!!!

Re: Top Gear is back!
 

Not as bad as some recent ones - it's become a bit too cruel recently and they need to lighten up. I took the joke as being at the expense of the police, who I notice later had a nice cameo showing how much of a police state London is now. Blair Out!

Mind you, the cross-London race was fun, the first bit was all around where I live. They hamstrung the poor old Stig, though, as no one sane would go that route from Kew to LCY. Ahem. You'd go District-Jubilee-DLR since the Jubilee is extremely fast while the interchange at Monument is a bloody long walk. You'd also get on at Kew Gardens directly rather than get a bus to Gunnersbury first, which gets you snarled up on the South Circular and Chiswick Roundabout. This was evidently done to keep the bike, car and PT routes close. Oh, and his Oyster would have worked fine at Gunnersbury, straight onto the platform.

/me is taken away muttering about while you're at it, James May, why not go over Hammersmith flyover and avoid the roundabout...

I still want that speedboat though.

Re: Top Gear is back!
 

not really, probably showing the fact that this place is so not free anymore and anyone who does not look 'british'.......

and hte stig does not look british... :D

ik

Re: Top Gear is back!
 

Exactly. Very astute observations can often be found in humour. Bottom line these days is that anyone looking non-British (i.e. not white) and wearing a backpack, could potentially be shot - if they're in the wrong place at the wrong time. And all this on the day we remember those who gave their lives for our freedom, huh. Hmmm.

That purple car was a nice idea - shame it's a death trap with terrible steering :D
