So I'm not the only one who noticed that.

Of all the baseball players they could've brought-on, they choose Brian Wilson. An eccentric ass, who hasn't played ball in 3-years.

I get it...he's colorful Roll Eyes

Funny thing is that when he was a guest on the original he was excellent.

Couldn't take my eyes off her and she was really good at making sure to almost always have a smile and kept her fingers away from her nose. Wink



Got through the premiere but nodded off during the second.

That's because the women behind Clarkson were not stimulating enough, perhaps. Big Grin

Looked forward to seeing the Kia Stinger--that's a possibility for next car.

Episode 3 is the best so far - the guys are really hitting their stride. I love the constant ribbing they are giving Hammond about the crash.

And the end of the Chiron segment - Clarkson mentions Rendezvous and then they do it - brilliant.

Dominic Cooper killed it through the Celebrity Face-Off course! Nice to see someone actually downshift into corners to maintain revs coming out.

Loved Jeremy handing Richard the small water bottle and it turning into a huge bottle. Subtle...

Also like the Croatian finish line.

New episode out. Not so car-intensive, more just fun. Did have me laughing out loud.

The disection of what actually happened with Clarkson making the Ken Block style video had me laughing. Of course I'm sure PETA will be up in arms over it.

It seems like they are letting the guys do more of what they want to. Honestly I think the first year they were more worried about being sued of being accused of just doing more "Top Gear".

Now we have our normal stuff - new batshit crazy supercar - Clarkson drives it. New reasonable mid-range car with some performance bits - Captain Slow gets it. New one-off crazy redneck shit that only sells a few hundred a year - send Hammond to Dubai!

Stick with this guys, it works! The only thing better is when you do an adventure with some cheap cars!

Haven't watched E4 yet, but your last line is happening this season, I believe.
Preview showed the guys in older Jag XJs in the snow.

They also have some sort of adventure in the jungle; there was a preview of Hammond riding a motorcycle and falling over into the mud on jungle trail with Clarkson behind him in a vehicle.

The New York to Niagara Falls was pretty good considering Hammond was on crutches. May running and pushing Hammond's wheel chair at the end, I thought we going to see May end up with a heart attack.

Admittedly Season 1 had it's warts. It's still missing the extra special "something" (much like the last season of Seinfeld after Larry David left). Me thinks the magic was not Producer Wilman. I like the new driver (magically she's British while "The American" was designed to make the show more "American").

So far enjoying Season 2 better than 1.

Poor Hammond has a long littered history of crashing cars. A little dash of bad luck and a dash of bad driving. Big Grin

This can be a fun drinking game. Take a shot every time you see a looker in the front row. Used to really enjoy that on the old show.

Do you mean in real life? He's only crashed two vehicles during television production. Clarkson has damaged more cars than Hammond--though those are mostly purposeful.
