    I was disappointed that you could guess what the "surprise" was going to be 3 scenes before it happened, but I did love the scenery.

    I thought it was dreadful from start to finish. Everything was so predictable, the ideas were stale, the jokes were tedious (and pretty offensive in places), and three pretty decent cars were ruined for no good reason. Yes, the scenery was fantastic in places, but I can get that watching the Holiday programme.

    Predictable; I love the show but that wasn't really a show for people who love cars, it was light entertainment.

    Buy cheap tat, decorate it with barely offensive slogan, mod to make it unroadworthy, ruin James' car, carry on at each other in stereotypical fashion, the end.

    It's almost as if they think, where haven't we been that we'd like to go this year for a jolly???

    New format required.

    The more I think about that special, the more crap I think it was.
    Poor acting when things go 'accidently' wrong, You can see where something is going to go wrong cause they blaently never fitted it correcly, tied it down or simply not bothered to do it right.

    The hill climb was entertaining but so cheesy when the TG lads did their go.
    The party was just shocking. What was they trying to accomplish? Make them selfs look even more stupid and ridiculous than they all ready do?
    The winch scene. what was they thinking putting that on a mini when it weighs less than the other two cars? Who or what was he trying to do? O lets mount it to the wings and when I have to two this 2.5ton car I wont look at it all and pretend that I can't hear the front of my car ripping off.

    Top gear been going down hill for a couple of years now and sadly, I can't see them changing its format any time soon cause it makes BBC way to much money for them to change it. They have also done everything.

    Agree with all the neg compents it was like watching a repeat. I was looking forward to it and was totally let down.

    As a one off it might have been good but as a follow on from all the others it was poor.

    i agree, some of the acting was very poor, for example im sure you would notice the front of your car been ripped off. Also the signs on the train where a little predictable. Hope when the new series starts it will be better

    Wasnt overly impressed with it either!!!

    Disappointing why they ruined the Mini, God only knows why!!!

    As already mentioned the party scene was terrible and actually quite embaressing.

    There were a few funny bits, which are as expected, I really laughed out loud when they set the horn up with the lights...lol

    The allegro lurking in the background was a nice touch. I have always liked the allegro. Hopefully the new series has a bit more back to back
    testing and some new challenges.
