felt a bit sorry for the guys that'd paid circa £85 for a round on the St Andrews Bay course, then got stuck behind that lot! Still, if they're mad enough to pay that for the course - hell mend 'em! (I got on it for £15 and wanted a refund)

Is it just me or does Hammond look different? He seems to have aged dramatically and his eyes seem a bit bulgy.

Like I said: could just be me.

I think they cut out a bit last night. They were supposed to be showing the effects a train has hitting a car on a level crossing. Pulled due to the accident up north probably. Wished they'd filled the space with something better that Hugh Grant.

I think if that's the case then it's shocking.


A graphic demonstration of the consquences might just make folk sit up and listen - last night would have been the ideal time to show it - strike whilst the iron's hot and all that.

Probably right Mac. It was paid for by Network Rail to highlight the dangers of level crossings. But the do-gooders would have had a field day saying that Top Gear showed it as 'entertainment'. Difficult one but they'll show it at some point I'm sure.

Aye, his eyes are almost popping out his heed!
Hugh Grant was great I thought!

One of the best episodes ever!

PMSL the whole way through the programme, the stone throwing rednecks were hilarious. A moment of genius from May when he wrote Man love rules ok on Hamsters car :lol:
