Top Gear Series 13 [May contain spoilers]

[pimento]

The TG Aus bit was filmed well ages ago - our version of the episode aired on September 28th. I'd say that's neither old nor new Stig, but Rally Stig what was brung on for the occasion. As for whomsoever is teaching the stars, clearly some good tutelage is happening - Bishop and Becker put some great laps in. Kinda like when Tiff tutored Boyle... Hmmmmm.... - [Eagle eyed pedants will note they shafted Boyle as to where they placed him on the board].

Seems guests with a B surname are fantabulous drivers, there's no other conclusion to be drawn.

I preferred the Aussie version of the "Ashes" more Bruce V Nigel humour

I preferred the Australian perspective, actually. Though, maybe I just enjoyed it more when I saw it the first time and the Aussies just happened to be quicker to the draw.

The 599 GTO drive was well done and I mostly agreed with what JC had to say.

I was surprised by the amount of vitriol directed towards Mexicans in The News. I understand that they like to maintain a non-PC image and jibes about Americans, Germans, Japanese, Liverpudlians, Spanish, Aussies etc... are enjoyed by most and reinforce this. Last night, though, it seemed like there was a bit more going on than just poking fun. It also shocked me because the stereotypes that they were using were tired American ones that I guess I was surprised to hear from Johnny Foreigner.
... and it should be pointed out that the "Mexican" food they referred to is almost undoubtedly American.

Either that or my Southern-Californian white guilt is playing up again.

Copied the above and moved the rest of the "racism" discussion to the thread that arose on it.

I thought ep 2 was pretty boring...
