Can’t be as bad with the first 2 seasons with that fat short guy. But I do agree. The past few seasons haven’t been as great. I still enjoy the show though. The Reliant Robin episode had me :rofling for a good 15 minutes.

The Robin one was awesome. Every now and then they’ll do an awesome show like that one where they were in the Jungle in those 3 jeeps and then in the desert.

That fat short guy who gave updates on the prices of cars was annoying. I always skipped that segment after a while. James May is funnier (believe it or not) and the news they discuss now is actually pretty funny sometimes.

I have to admit. I had no idea who Ayrton Senna was. I knew who Shumacker, etc. were but not him. WOW.

I downloaded all 15 seasons this past week. The first couple of episodes aren’t that great. The challenges is what I like most about this show.
