Yes, I am behind on things. This will be short because I don't like to write but first and foremost I thought it was amazing. First with the Range Rover; I found myself saying, "What?!" Several times. Sonar in the car to find depth and a way to disconnect the sway bars?! I'm not usually one for technology in cars but jesus slap me in the face with a fish if that isn't the coolest thing I have ever seen in a car.

The bus section: Fucking awesome! For a bus that looks amazing! I have been to England once and never got ride a double decker bus but this new one is just… I'm not sure, A lot better looking.

What was next?…Mark Webber, really one of my favorite drivers. I don't religiously watch F1 but I do when I get the chance and Webber and Raikkonen are my two favorite. Webber was great with the interview and someone that seems great to actually talk to.

Jag F-type: Holy shit the sounds! I don't even have much more to say about this but god damn if I could be near that car making those noises there would be a crisis.

The Finale: Truly great stuff. Granted as someone in the US is wasn't quite as hard hitting as it probably was to people in the UK, but god damn that was fucking cool. The shots, as always, were amazing and to see that variety of vehicles from the UK is just magnificent.

All in all it was once again amazing and I can't wait for another series. It wasn't quite as amazing as the Africa special to me (that really took the cake as my favorite Top Gear episode, maybe because I have a bugeye WRX wagon but also I want to say it was just completely amazing.

This post has been sponsored by no one in particular but it was aided with some Saranac beer as well as Jim Beam and Whiskey* (Don't judge me it is all I had and even had to google. "Is Whiskey and Iced Tea a thing" before going for it) Pictured is the Saranac Legacy IPA to entice all of you people with a picture.

*As an edit: This meant to say iced tea but my drink was empty so that was all that was on my mind. My lawyers** say to change it but to hell with them.

**I don't have lawyers

I'm sure you meant Jim Beam and Iced Tea, but no judgement here.

Well fuck. It finally shows through. Of course the major mistake is me saying I drink Jim Beam mixed with whiskey. Hahaha thanks

I saw one of the new Range Rover Sports at Silverstone this year, and I must say I'm really impressed. The body tapers slightly as it comes to the rear, so there's this fantastic fuselage-type effect that looks brilliant. I'm not usually impressed by how these sorts of cars look, but I was with this one.

Also, I want an F-Type. Badly. Unfortunately, I think they're going to be one of these cars that depreciation completely forgets about, so they'll be beyond my reach for the foreseeable future.

The finale was brilliant, and very comforting as a British person. There's a lot of feeling that we don't make anything anymore, that we've just become a nation of bankers and service personnel. I'm happy to have that proven wrong.

Don't worry, I'm still only halfway through the previous series...

I'm slow.
