i don't believe i have an HB pencils lieing in the house anymore but i think i may buy a pack just for this :dopey:
 
Yup, as expected a mick take. Pulling our leg. :)

In all a great episode, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hammond trying to start the bike was a classic as well :lol: Great to see TG back, its been awhile. 👍
 
Taking bets on Hamilton being The Stig one week, anyone else thinking the same?
Good episode and looks to be a good season coming up overall, looking forward to next week!
 
No. Not happening. There has always been more than 1 stig, hes just on there as one.

No way has he always been the stig.

This is exactly what the BBC aimed to do with this, very clever. "Reveal" his identity yet keep the theorists going by using someone so OTT that the people who have tried to work out who it is would never believe its him, and the people who didn't really care would believe it. So they managed to not kill off the whole point of the Stig and make fun of the theorists. Brilliant 👍

I was soooo waiting for Clarkson to mention Adelaide '94 :lol: It was always coming, pity he didn't make him explain it.

I think Schuey came across really well, he's long since ceased to be arrogant and dirty and all the other things we all hated him for around the time Hill was driving, and now appears to simply be an incredible driver who loved his career and has an unusually English sense of humour...
 
I spotted Pastrana and Block, and the F1 blasting past a Veyron (which is just the best thing evah!)
Schuey is probably one of the only few guys that Ferrari would let drive the FXX anywhere other than Ferrari HQ, I highly doubt TG will have anymore stuff with him.

I thought so too, although I did wonder if some of his responses were scripted.

Cracking epsiode to start the new series with 👍
 
You have to hand it to Clarkson – he’s like 250 years old and yet there he is shoveling coal and making a mess of himself. Props.
 
Great episode! I loved the race, all three of those machines were incredible, but I have a soft spot for older modes of transportation like that.

And why did the FXX go on the power board? I thought it wasn't road legal?

I agree the FXX shouldn't be on the power board at all, they even said that Ferrari won't let any who owns one actually have it and drive it on the roads and like you said it probably isn't legal. Therefore the FXX doesn't fit the power board rules and shouldn't be on there. It was an awesome time though.
 
So I'm the only one who didn't really enjoy the episode as much? I was expecting more really, the race was a bit boring, and so was the Evora review.
 
I think last nights episode shoudld be classed as "the calm before the storm". I think it's going to get better and better towards the end judging by the preview clips.

You're not the only one.

I actually enjoyed the Evora review, but that's about it. The race was so so, and the Stig nonsense was a silly gimmick to take peoples attention off who the real stig is (Ben Collins, and a few others).

However, I'm never really thrilled with the first episode of a new series. I have higher hopes for episode 2.

Ditto. Particularly as they'll apparently be trying to find the best car for a 17 year old. Which, from what I've gathered from the little trailer they showed us, are going to be...

The Hyundai S Coupe, The VW Passat and the VW Golf

Nope your definately not alone. I found the whole thing felt abit too staged, the jokes never really happened and the race was dull. Seriously looking forward to future episodes though, judging by the trailer they should be alot better.
