The boys at Top Gear are well known for their unorthodox strategies of putting cars to the test - often brilliant, sometimes simply bizarre. These are the greatest survivors of those "Top Gear challenges", some more dented and damaged than others.

Jezzer, Hamster and Captain Slow have no problem tearing from zero to 62mph and racing around the Top Gear track, but it is the Top Gear challenges that really put their skills to the test or put them to shame.

I enjoy Top Gear have done for year's, yeh ok these guys squander the cash but then in my opinion more cash is wasted on "Eastender's, Cash in the Attic (Celeb version included), Antiques Roadshow, Strictly Come (and bore me to death) Dancing to name but a view. The BBC pours a lot of money down the drain on many thing's, Top Gear albeit is'nt a car show  as such (compared with the 70's, 80's and 90's version's ) I can't afford a Ferrari or an Aston but I enjoy looking at them and more enjoy watching Clarkson, May & Hammond thrashing them round the track. So it's like the majority of BBC prog's they waste licence payers cash BBC has been doing that for decades!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are people hating at Top gear, It is one of the best shows on the BBC. It entertains not just the younger generation but all the Generations. And its more interesting then half the money wasting shows that are on the BBC

And mik sti, why should the show be cancelled and Clarkson sacked?

If you do not like the show then why the heck comment on here for.

Go on don't pay your Licence Fees and enjoy the 1k fine =)

 

TG rules and like others said the fact BBC sells it to so many other countrys and channels means it pays for itself.

for all you  that think top gear wastes licence payers money why dont you check out just how much money the bbc makes from selling it to other countries other channels and for selling permission for other countries to make shows on the same format you might just realise why the show is still going strong

A'lot of people like or love Top Gear, some people judging by some of the comments on here do not. What i can not understand is if you DO NOT like Top Gear why bother coming onto a page about the programme you do not like and start **** about it!! why don't you just stop being so damn sad and save your energy in your fingers.

 

Top Gear is a programme  about car's which provides entertainment to the viewers and it has been doing so for a long time now, if it was going to be cancelled it would have been by now.

 

Jezza, Hamster and Captain Slow have a job that, if you ask anyone who watches the programme or has an interest in car's would love to do any day of the week. They may go all over the world but sometimes you cant find the right place in this country with all the speed camera's, speed bumps and everything else that stops you going over 30 MPH. PLUS when they drove through the italian mountains In the Aston, Lamborghini and Pagani, three amazing cars (may's not so much, should have gone for the Aston DB9 V8 Vantage), amazing setting and view, the humour of them trying to get out of the car park. WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO DO THAT!!!!!

 

If you don't like Top Gear don't watch it! If you want something more sensible and what ever else then watch 5th Gear or put one of the other hundreds of channels on for an hour.

A pretty good and accurate selection but last I checked the Reliant Robin was destroyed when the rocket failed to launch; only those that haven't seen the episode should be unaware of that fact....... Well the rocket did launch but the problem was they couldn't release the robin from the fuel tank when it got high enough due to a fault in the mechanism; so naturally when the fuel tank plumetted to earth so did the Robin; followed by a fiery explosion.
