    Top Gear Winter Olympics

    For UK viewers it's on at 21:10 on BBC 2

    Top Gear Winter Olympics (Sport)
    Time - 21:10 - 22:10 (1 hour long)
    When - Sunday 12th February on BBC 2
    The Top Gear team hit Norway for a Winter Olympics special in which they attempt Olympic events, but with cars. In a world first, the team fire a rocket-powered Mini off a ski jump, Jeremy and James tackle the Biathlon with the latest 4x4s, Richard stages a game of car ice hockey, and the new Jaguar XK races a speed skater.

    ...From five.tv's online TV guide.

    Enjoy.

    Utter crap?

    Compared to "failed-celebrities-attempting-to-ice-skate"?

    That mini flying down the ski ramp is one of the best things I've seen on TV all year.

    Everything else on TV is pretty much shit anyway, I've not had a TV since September, and quite frankly I don't think I've missed anything important.

    What would you do with a new Jag XK8 and a frozen lake?

    I've seen Chris Barrie put to better use though. Dissapointing.
    Thanks for all the fish

    ah, yes the Mini was stupendous I have to admit. The rest of the show was bland IMO though, except for video footage of the Q7

    Didnt see the Mini, i must have turned it off before i saw it. I mean yes, the jaguar part was well put together, with all the good camerawork. But all the crap inbetween was just, well, crap!

    Il download the episode when i get the chance to, just to see the Mini.

    There were some seriously funny bits in the show, however it was just plain stupid to see the XK8 pitted against the speedskater. I'd rather have seen them throw those 4x4s around a bit more...

    ...How much do TG get to spend on destroying cars per show? Just look at those Suzukis! The first decent one since, well, ever and they choose to wreck those? Should have been a load of the old Swifts!

    I thought it was pretty good. Not sure about that poor Mini though.

    But the thing after it? That petrolheads thing, oh my god that was toe curlingly bad. Seriously. Just awful.
