Yes, I know, a bit of a no-no in some circles but did anyone see the
"race" last week from Kew Bridge to City Airport? Which route would you
have followed as a cyclist? I don't believe I would have followed
Hammond up Chiswick High Road, Hammersmith Broadway, Kensington High
Street. I'd have gone up the A4 over the flyover and past the Natural
History Museum.

And "stig" - bus to Gunnersbury then District to Monument then Bank on
DLR - how about walk over Kew Bridge to the SWT station then Waterloo -
drain to Bank and then DLR (or Jubliee to Canning Town then DLR).

Did you notice the editing? Pieces out of order all over the place.
Hammond went through Hammersmith after he'd been along Ken High Street at
one point!

Picking holes in the Top Gear races or challenges is as easy as doing the
same in any Sci-fi or Action movie - once you've started, you can't stop.
That's probably because Top Gear and those movies genres fall into the same
category, i.e. pure entertainment, and not fact/documentary.
