Top Gear is #1 on the BBC iPlayer again.

Here's this week's link (episode 4):

One notable difference with road trips now is that these cars (or bikes) were all clearly of good enough quality not to make breakdowns and repairs part of the story. I suspect if Evans is pursuing any line different to the old gang, it's that he seems less of a tinkerer (so to speak).

The original trio used to enjoy fiddling about with and modding the cars. I suspect Evans knows little about the workings of the internal combustion engine.

You think they modded those cars themselves?

What about when they were in Bolivia?

This non-story (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3651918/Fans-mock-Chris-Evans-wearing-clothes-episode-Gear.html) about Evans' clothes on the show would merely seem to confirm that the beeb are indeed mixing and matching footage between episodes. (Evans clothes needing to match in his introductions to feature material in particular - depending on which episode the features are slotted into.) This apparent built in tolerance for the rejigging of content was I suppose inevitable given they originally set out to make 8 episodes' worth of location material.

The shows as transmitted are certainly jampacked.

It is getting better now it's found it's feet - even Evans is calming down a little and lots of interesting bits - the Aston Vulcan looked great and the bit on the Tesla was really interesting and shows where the future of cars will go. I liked the mix up with the bike too, it shouldn't just be about cars.

Big up to Sabine out-speeding Evans' boat on foot though. Give that woman a cape and have done with it Tongue

They have a huge back up crew, including mechanics.
