    Re: Top Gear Series 18 Discussion Thread

    I was stoked to watch this episode, and it was great.....up till SIARPC, although I liked the China bit, they dragged it out too long. Chinese Stig.....that could have been a 30sec into but they just dddddddrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggggggggggeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddd it on and on and on.....

    Overall it was good, but I would have edited the China bit more... That's all.

    Hammond as already got someone from these forums to switch to NASCAR. check the thread "Thanks TopGear for converting me....."

    Attack (Chinese) Stig I think is my favorite Stig spin-off so far...  had to keep replaying the bit where he was going around shadow punching and "Attacking" the crew...

    Classic...  Good episode overall though and very interesting to see China's lack of originality exposed because they are so behind the times...

    That Brutus is just... practical. No, wait, I don't mean practical.  Sensible?  No, that's not it either.  Stupid!  Yes, that's the word.
    I mean, putting that engine in some kind of car, that's OK.  But maybe try to build it so that it doesn't spray hot oil in your face?  Just an idea.

    Change-change-change, change to full throttle

    It was soooo funny a couple friends and I were talking about the Merlin engine and how (compared to engines of today) it is soo underpowered. Then the idea came of trying to put it in a car.

    About an hour later I was watching this latest episode and we all had a laugh.

    Very much liked that episode. Too bad none of them chose a Radical tho....

    I agree it's very stupid, but it's got some kind of charm too. I'd say it's one of the most stupid, yet one of the most masculine cars made. That being said, I'd rather take the Bentley any time of the day, any day of the year. For the "real" Bentley though, I'd give.. hmm, if I'd sacrifice a bodypart the experience would somehow be impaired. Let's just say that if I liked the Spitfire-Bentley a lot, I like the original a lot a lot.

    @Papa Hortis: That actually is a real Bentley, not a Chinese knock off. An abomination of a Bentley, yet the real deal (though concept).

    That is an actual Bentley, and it's only a concept. China has nothing to do with it
