...but Jezza didn't seem keen. Is he mad?! 

Apparently it makes sense to talk to your car before a race.  in a highly lit garage.

The flames the Lamborghini was spitting ...................... I need one.

I haven't watched the programme yet, I will watch it later on the BBC I-Player.    I used to look forward to every episode but now it is getting tired.   I know that we are going to get smashed up caravans, a Morris Marina with a piano dropped on its roof and a programme dedicated to slagging off what was once a British car industry.   We will get the JC telling us that the latest BMW is unbeatable value for money despite having to pay extra for a key ring and loads of jokes about how short Hammond is.

I would like to see a car programme with occasional jokes not a (so called) comedy programme with cars in it.   Perhaps I am getting old but I actually prefer Fifth Gear now, at least you get their opinion on normal cars that you can afford.

Agree, I would go out my way to watch, but now just getting a bit samey, just 3 middle aged men acting like dick's. Sorry must be getting old too!!!!

I do, just think its going a bit stale.

Sunday 5th February

2/7. Jeremy Clarkson and James May travel to Beijing to learn about China's car industry, which has seen great expansion in recent years - but also have a violent encounter with one of the Stig's cousins. Meanwhile, Richard Hammond immerses himself in the world of Nascar at a race in Texas, and the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster is wrestled around the test track, emitting serious amounts of noise and smoke in the process. Matt LeBlanc is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
