Yeah,was a very good episode this one,and the Chiron is something else.
Saw a programmer about the building of it,and the number of years it has been in the making (7 i think).
Super car,and potential to do 300mph.
Limited run supersport version is ripped to in the near future,all for a cool 2.6 milion £.......Lottery supersonic indeed :driving: :evil:

Not an overly stupid amount for a car that can hit such speeds :thumbsup:

Other than the Pacman thing going on a tad too long,really liked the Twingo Sport test, along with the up and smart warm hatches.
Nice to see some sensible, affordable cars being tested too.
Neat we car the Twingo Sport by :D

Been enjoying the new series but have to say I really loved yesterday's episode. I think the studio and celeb driver bits are finally coming together (and what a lap from ol' Thunder Thighs!). Actually looking forward to next week, which is not something I've felt in a few years.

Best thing is that they've kept churning out "traditional" Chris Harris videos on topgear.com. Win-win. :)

One thing I now like about top gear is my 10yr old son is now well into it and it's something we can now watch together. I think Matt and Chris seem to get on well, just seems that rory doesn't have equal billing and it seems it's more like they have 2.5 presenters rather than 3 (if that makes sense)
Either way I still prefer it far more than when it was the other three.... :D

Finding I like Le Blanc more and more - Harris impresses but I wish they'd let him just be 'himself'. . .
Great nights entertainment :thumbsup:

I liked the start with the Ford GT 40 and even LeBlanc was good in the sequence but felt it went downhill a bit IMHO after that. Chris Hoy took centre stage for too long and I used the fast forward buttom more as the show went on.

As an ex cyclist Chris Hoy is a Demi God. :bow: The fact that he can pedal a four wheeler with with 200 bhp :oops: on a damp track, in such fine, style has only improved his stock IMHO. :D :thumbsup:

I appreciate how good Chris Hoy is but the show inprimarily about cars. At present I don't think they have that balance right yet as it's more about the guests and themselves

Indeed and Mr Hoy is a serious Petrol head. :driving: They could talk to him all day long for me. :thumbsup: The previous guest however, not so. :wink:

watched Sundays episode on iPlayer last night - best yet, great start with the Ford GT 40 & Chris Hoy was entertaining and fast. I liked Matt-the-bloke from the start and he's now the linchpin of the show :thumbsup:
