The Top Gear Thread [Mixed Reviews]: Matt LeBlanc quits Top Gear

PostRe: The Top Gear Thread by **Rubix** » Tue Dec 02, 2014 6:00 pm

Here’s your first picture from the upcoming Top Gear Patagonia Special. And this year, this Christmas special will be broadcast at roughly the right time, too.

Jeremy, Richard and James will take a Porsche 928, Lotus Esprit and Ford Mustang through their most gruelling challenge to date: a 1600-mile trek through Patagonia to the southernmost city in the world, in order to stage an epic game of car football against Argentina.

There will be swamps, deserts, forests, beaches, and ski slopes for the three V8 sports cars to suffer. There will also be broken bones, mechanical calamities and even some cows. Plus, a climax that wasn’t really on the cards.

Part one will kick off on Saturday 27 December at 8.30pm, with part two showing on Sunday 28 December at 8pm, both on BBC Two and BBC Two HD.

Good news. Looking forward to those!

Part 1 of this on BBC2 at 8.30pm tonight.

It's on now.

Bit gooseberry fool so far.

Yeah Clarkson tweeted before that tonights wasn't very eventful. Tomorrow is supposed to be amazing though

Picked up towards the end. I don't understand why they did the driving around in a field nonsense.

Trying to force a few breakdowns, or create potential for some further down the line.

I thought that was mostly pretty great, tbh. Interested to see what they will show of what happened at the end.

Pretty average so far but even if the second part is gooseberry fool it'll be worth it to see how it ends.

Thought that was excellent! I love the show when it's just the three of them driving old cars.

Why they crossed into Chile:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/argentina/11309075/Top-Gear-Christmas-Special-What-really-happened-in-Patagonia.html wrote:Argentina's national parks authority reportedly wanted to charge the team for filming along certain sections of the route, so instead the three veered off Ruta 40 and into Chile, having crossed Futaleufu-Palena border near the Argentine town of Trevelin – where, thanks to the arrival of fifty Welsh families in 1885, Welsh is spoken to this day.

Yesterday's episode was a bit dull but I'm hoping part 2 starting shortly will make up for it.

May's fall looked like it hurt quiet a lot.

Are there any islands in south America Argentina don't claim?

Dat night sky :datass:

gotta say stunning landscapes and views in that part of the world :shock:

Absolute twats!!

It's all got a bit strawberry floating violent!

Can't believe how stupid those nationalists are. Total idiots. That actually made me quite angry watching that.

I'm glad they showed it everything that happened. Bloody banana splitish of the Argentinians.
