Is it just me or did Matt LeBlanc's voice sound like he's in the witness protection program now? He wasn't bad, but his voice is so annoying that I just couldn't enjoy it.

 

Ya. Are they doing that on purpose?? Awful

 

Bingo


The uploader has slowed the video speed by a couple of percent so to avoid YouTubes automatic copyright bot flagging the video.

 

That'd be a pretty stupid bot, if that was the case. Fairly easy to account for time-scale expansion/contraction these days. I still think Joey may have gone a tad overboard with his testosterone injections.

 

2 things:

- Why do Top Gear always drive the interesting cars on an airfield - back and forth straight line? (The Audi R8 an exception) And if there is an occasional slide, the camera always cuts to exterior view, especially when Evans "drives"... Tin fiol hat on.

- Why even bother mentioning the price of the R? Or if you do - say that market price is more like 1.000.000€...

 

I'm not sure if it is ok to post this url.....Will delete it if anyone is uncomfortable about this.....

I think Chris Harris is the man. But the YouTube videos are where he is at his best. TopGear forces fake scenarios with silly acting sequences. Harris should just be able to do the same videos as before but with the resources of TopGear for a higher quality experience.

 

Saw the show on DVR last night. It was my first Top Gear since the new cast and the verdict is .... MEH!lol!
I actually didn't miss anything. They do have "extra gear" and Chris Harris on cars" show as well. But I guess the Chris Harris show is a compilation of all his youtube vids ?

 

Agree 100%.

 

I don't know why but I just get the feeling the R isn't that good...

 

In the Extra Gear segment which followed the 991R episode, Sabine mentions her R arrives in November. Clearly she ticked the SMFW box.

Just watched a rerun of original TG with my 15 yr old son. The episode where Hammond is "rescued" off the mountain in BC after activating his Breitling Emergency watch. Cannot wait for the team to get back together in late 2016.

 

Glad C Evans is gone. So irritating. "Joey", to me, not much better. Would think someone like Time Allen would be kinda fun but he has his own series. They need to take TopGear in some new directions. Let Sabine race, follow her weekends. Have Eddie Jordan do historic F1 racing shorts, tracks other stuff he knows etc.. let the cast move to their strong points. RReeeally cannot wait for GT and the boys.

 

Eddie Jordan is ridiculously annoying. If they add someone from F1 it should be Jenson Button.

 

Extremely annoying. Like trying too hard to sound like a man. Can't stand him now, and neither that other clown (now gone, thankfully). Since LeBlank stayed, not going to watch it. Can't imagine him being any worse, but he'd need to get like 1,000% better. In addition, that show needs chemistry to make it, and nobody seems to have it. They're never going to replace the other 3 guys IMO. And getting rid of the ridiculously staged crap they pull would have been nice. Not a fan even of the old show. But this one is just pathetic.

 

If someone could explain why Eddie Jordan was on the show I would appreciate it. He added no value other than wrecking the Merc SUV and "cheating". Otherwise I don't think there would have been a difference in the show if he wasn't on it.

Matt isn't bad. I always read it as he is uncomfortable with Chris Evans. Chris Evans was horrible. He always wore the same clothes and always seemed to be yelling as if no one could hear him. I think Matt was at his best with the drive of the 911R and started getting more comfortable with the hosting thing by the end.

Chris Harris has what he is good for which is the driving on the track.

They need to ditch the Mini off road celebrity drive crap. Go back to full on tarmac, no need to go "off-roading". They need to get a team of presenters together that have some chemistry. Test it out first, have them hang out together, do some of the same stuff, but don't record it for the show, record it for viewing how they work together and get a good group.

The US group started having some good chemistry and then they didn't get renewed for History. I started to feel like they were genuinely friends and not just three people thrown together anymore.
