V+ is set ready
Hope it's better than the last season, was a bit disappointed in places and it was too short.

Don't panic, that's standard. They typically have a season aired in the summer which is obviously filmed mostly during the winter which is more car orientated. The winter season (filmed mostly in the summer) is the one that typically has more wacky stuff and (hopefully) a top gear 'adventure' episode.

I didn't mean because it was more car orientated I liked that Just seemed to lack a certain something I couldn't put my finger on, it felt a little stilted in places.
Might have just been me though.

That's what i came in to say
The only way I can describe how it was to watch for me was as if my telly was Lagging Seriously there seemed to be gaps between the links & between sentences the whole thing was like some amatuer drama night or summit.
It confused me for a while & I sat there thinking, Jeez this Green is good but No it was deffo the show, Not Fluid at all & it looked like it was the first time they'd ever done the show or present

2nd best time of the day, sets you up nicely


Really enjoyed this week. The bit in the US was very natural (i.e. didn't feel scripted) as it was 3 friends enjoying themselves and the end result was a factual article. The Fiat 500 test was fun though I was very suprised that it was faster than the Elise until I remembered that the Elise went round in monsoon conditions.
