top gear

i've never seen any of the pre-hour long top gears

Top Gear was the highlight of my week when I lived in England. I download the torrents of the new ones now that I'm here. It's seriously an amazing program. It's amazing what they can do with five channels there compared to our television broadcasting in the US. There're too many channels and too many look-alike programs so the funding and talent is too thin.

Long Live top Gear.

From the Corvette Review:

"See, the Corvette is like America's version of the Porsche 911. But Europe already has a 911. It's called... the 911."

From the MkV VW GTi review:

"If this car is any good, then it will tempt people out of their gas-guzzling SUVs. And if that happens, then we can fix the hole in the o-zone layer, the Brazillian rain forests they'll be saved. Our baby children, they'll all be saved. So when it comes down to it, the fate of the world rests on whether or not this car is any good."

a booklet that came packed with the may issue of 'top gear' magazine gives us a taste of what we can expect in the 05 season. you can check out (very large) scans of it here

anybody in the UK watching the new episode?

Damn, forgot it was on. I like the show, but I pretty much don't get cars, as I can't drive (nor do I wish to).

They really don't like American cars on there, though.

I thought this thread was about the kickass SNES game and its even badder sequel!

'and then it was time for the moment of truth; would the element be a car for people who like hip hop, or for people who need a hip op?'

-when deciding whether or not the honda element was for the blueblood crowd or not

They're cruel to french cars too, you'll be pleased to hear .

I used to really enjoy that game.

But as for Top Gear on tv..... great show i stopped watching it for quite a while when Clarkson left.
The past 2 years its been great tv.
I really like it when they race between public transport and a sports car they are always entertaining.

I love top gear, and i was loving the use of Black Sabbath on that hehehe

i said my dad was on it!

With his most excellent collection of hearses i might add!

So nerr.

Collection of hearses? Sweet! can I have one?

I was addicted to this show when I was in Switzerland. Thank GOD for BBC Prime or I would have died. Stupid BBC Canada however, does not show it!

Just watching the new episodes, i see Clarkson still doesn't like Americans much... lol

...erm, i was going to quote what he said but it wouldn't make sense so i clipped it in Quicktime which is more fun anyway... watchy - 1.46MB

I could be wrong but I thought that was Motorhead...(We love Lemy!!)

If you are talking about the theme tune to Top Gear, then that was actually an Allman Brothers Band song called 'Jessica'. Its been bastardised since the new format appeared. I much preferred the original.

JEREMY DIDN'T LIKE THE MASERATI MC12!

i still haven't seen the stig's lap in it. so S T F U!

this is SUCH a good episode of TG

That made me smile.

I WANT that maserati mc12

I liked the football match they had the other week. great television

This is probably my favorite show right now.
