Maybe I'm getting old, but I'm finding it utterly tedious.  :-\

My subjective opinion is as follows.

Matt Le Blanc carries the show on his own. Chris Harris is too smarmy and insincere, and I can't help feeling that the black kid ( I will need to google his name) is there merely for the purpose of political/racial correctness.

Six out of ten.

Haven't watched it yet, but my gut feeling is probably the same as most, Top Gear has done its time now, both on the BBC and Amazon.  :(

I suspect the media center recorded it, but not watched it yet.

Got round to watching some more of the Amazon ones, quite enjoyed the beach buggy ones :).

I recently watched this episode. Quite enjoyable in the usual adolescent way. Typically Clarkson had to have a 200 BHP Rover V8 in his buggy rather than the usual Beetle lump.

Highly optimistic for a 3.5 carb v8 ;) They only manage ~180 in the 4.0 with EFI  ::)
