The only winning move is not to play.

I love it! I'm at my parents house and they get BBC America and I can't stop watching it. I don't care if its a rerun I've already seen. Not to mention all the clips online that I watch. I'm not really even into cars all that much, but I love Top Gear.

Yall when they went on the caravan trip that was the funniest stuff I have ever seen.


Fav. Quote: This is the most beautiful car Ive ever seen... Its performance is aweful but buying this car for its performance is like buying a porno film for its plotline.


The ones where they have them buy POS cars rule cause I used to drive cars like that.

That show is sweet! Jeremey Clarkson is hilarious. It amazes me how much of an ass he can be sometimes, but that's what makes him so funny!

the bbc america versions are edited from the originals. different music, parts cut out etc.

www.finalgear.com is a good site for top gear stuff

i have an external harddrive with almost every episode since they switched to this style of top gear. i don't know if it was in any of those links up above but my favorite episode is the first amphibious car episode, just awesome.

and when they test a holden on their track and clarkson does the commentary with an australian accent, for some reason that just kills me everytime i see it

Yeah it's pretty good.

I like the one where they buy some bangers and drive them through, erm, 'rural' America

I watched one where they had to buy cars under 100 british bounds, which I think is slightly over $100. Friggin Hammond bought a Volvo for 1 british pound, hit a barrier doing 40 and was able to still drive it away.
