One thing that made it special was the craftsmanship of the photography. It really was a beautifully shot show. There was so much detail in what was done. Maybe that's the same but it wasn't the only reason to watch.

 

If it wasn't for Top Gear I wouldn't have recognized the F-type Jaguar I saw Saturday. I also wouldn't have driven a 458, Mp4-12C, GTR, Gallardo, Aventador and 991 GT3 nor would my wife have driven a Super Leggera, AMG Black SLS, 991 GT3 or Hurrican. The boys made it look so fun that I not only got the jones for (short, expensive) bits of track time with these brilliant pieces of engineering my wife also found out she enjoyed it too.

 

I understand the show was getting long in the tooth but I still loved it and later enjoyed the news section perhaps more as it was just friends doing what friends do.

 

One problem with driving the super cars is I keep forgetting to look at the in car camera and yelling POWER! They sort of demand your full attention at full chat.

I'm afraid none of these Hitler rants have amused me much since I was spoiled by the one where he did not get an entry for the Pre'65 at Kinloch. I laughed out loud at that one - never have so many nails been hit on the head in one go.
