For sure. I wish they'd just ditch all the scripted stuff and be themselves. They are entertaining enough without it.

I didn't mind it. I thought Richard's whole thing about the Huracan not being Lamborghini enough (whilst showing him drifting an Aventador as way of proof yet which he also complained about not being Lamborghini enough) is getting to be a bit of a tired argument.

Fun to see that dude Ed whoever get out and have a go in his first time in a car. I thought it was a fantastic demonstration of what modern ESC systems are capable of. :)

I enjoyed the episode. Even though the car vs bike vs water thing was done before it wasn't too bad. Richard on the bike nearly getting belted off his bike all those times is very similar to my town. I was waiting for him to come off at the tram tracks. I've come off like that on the side of a footpath a few times, lol. I though the new Lamborghini looked orright! Sounded fantastic too. I think the Twizzy would only be useful if everyone used them in a city. Seemed useless with other full sized cars around.

Yes, it was a bit disappointing to see him take a path he has used pretty much every time he talks about Lambos.

Clarkson's talent is that he is very creative in how he delivers his views, even when they are cliched.

Enjoyed the episode though.

I didn't think it was anything special either although it seems to be getting good reviews compared to the first episode of the season. Keifer was actually good value. Once again there wasn't actually too much said about the cars except how much they liked them and the fact the M6 was only RWD.

I didn't mind the Aussie episode. Wasn't really much about the cars. It did show case the vastness of the Aussie outback though which I know and enjoyed. More could've been done, for sure. The cow/claymore thing had me laughing for ages.

The only part I remember was them bashing the highway code.

Ricciardo's time has leaked if people are interested in finding out.

I grinned all the way through the Aussie episode. For us on this side of the world it appears so much more mysterious and epic than it probably does for you. Most people in Europe have never seen a view that contains nothing man-made as far as the eye can see, for example. The NT is mostly like that :D

Dead right.
When JC was saying how big that farm was and listed about 5 counties the scale of that is just mind boggling to us because there's never more than a couple of miles between towns here.

Last nights episode was stretched a bit too thin but was very, very funny at times.

Ricciardo's interview was a bit weird though. It consisted of a few uncomfortable questions with some short answers, interspersed with the big smile. I thought he'd be a bit more chatty.

The Honey Badger's 2nd to last turn was epic... He did have the pick of the weather though but good to see he delivered, as if there was ever any doubt.
