| top gear 10x02
Only just watched it. Okay episode - that Audi R8 seems like a cracking car although I'm not wild about its looks. 
Looks a little too much like a TT for the "supercar" description to seem comfortable.
The pipe smoking was funny although jeremy's "incident" reminded me of myself at the pub in Oban 
Also I can't believe I wouldn't make a better job on my second attempt at getting a car to float. In fact legend says that beetles float pretty well as standard, so maybe I'll give it a go this weekend!

I have to say I was in stitches at the crossing attempt once it got under way. Seeing Hammond fall off the pickup at the breakers made me almost wet myself  | |

Aye, me and the lady watched this on sunday.
The pipes were amazing, and Captain Slow trying to steer had me in tears

Forgot this was on and missed it. The repeat’s not on until Saturday evening … what’s with that?

Aye I missed it too - Top Gear is amazing though, their banter makes me love a show about cars, it's THAT good.

Amazing stuff. Funniest programme on the box. Was anyone else surprised to hear Jezza's only 47?? I'd have put him mid fifties at least. James May's still my favourite | |

I enjoyed it, although me and Dave did think "Here, is that not a workplace?" as they lit up.
My favourite bit was the look on their faces as they discovered the nature of the challenge. | |

Yeah, I'm surprised the smoking indoors thing didn't make it onto the news or something given the fuss over the Rolling Stones etc etc.

Quite. People who like driving big cars aren't usually that focussed on tree-hugging type smoking combustibles
