Top Gear was about the people, not the cars. When the people changed, it wasn't Top Gear any more.

They should have changed the name instead of leaving it tied like a dead albatross round the necks of the of the new presenters.

It's now a curse.

Top Gear is supposed to be a car show. Early Top Gear had genuine reviews on cars and was totally different to what it became, the presenters ego's made the show about themselves and less and less about cars. Hopefully it goes back to being a car show and Jeremy, Richard and James can do their own thing doing what they did which was entertaining none the less for the most part.

At least Chris Harris is getting more budget for his videos. Pretty much every aspect of the main show is sub par/boring/wasted potential, even down to Matt LeBlanc IMO. He seems to be reading some boring script. At least he's getting paid.

Oh well.

So, Chris Evans will not be returning for Season 2. 

I don't think many of the viewers will, either.

Top Gear USA starts again on Monday - That's better than the original Top Gear, seriously funny.

Top Gear USA has been dropped by the History channel in the USA, and apparently BBC is shopping it around for a new network so fingers crossed it get picked up by someone else.

Hopefully Top Gear UK improves from next season. Less advertising the cars and more driving and commenting on the good and bad bits. Still don't understand why Chris Harris was presented as a retard but things should change next year (if it gets another season).

Skimmed ep1, watched ep3 and part of ep4, thought chris harris was ok, everyone but chris evans and matt leblanc really. Segments themselves were good (though mainly saw car review type ones on those episodes, not the road trip etc) but i can see how a roadtrip segment with the before mentioned two would make for poor viewing. Biggest issue i saw was the in studio bits, you'd have a car segment then Matt talking to whoever the presenter was asking stupid questions which didn't really relate to the cars at all

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
