starts tonight! of course being that we dont live in the UK we'll have to wait for it to show up online, still excited none the less. Its a shame we dont have a car show of this caliber here in the us. but then again given the smaller market of available cars to play with it probably wouldn't be nearly as interesting. |

Who else would take cars and paint things like Hilary Clinton for president,  pride, or Nascar sucks and drive through a redneck town... or race an Aston Martin against a train to see which arrives faster... or try to destroy an old Toyota pickup truck to see how reliable it is? Top Gear is the bomb. Even when in the old format they were ripping apart the Seville STS, it was hilarious how they did it. |

"Motorweek" has been sub-par for years and years. The producers must be friends of the PBS leadership. The show is very amateurish with predictable Germanophile leanings.
Top Gear is like "Car and Driver" on uppers! Amusing, but far too self-impressed with the host's glib patter and contrived activities.
I for one would like to see a show where different tarnsportation needs are judged by testors different American geographical locals and get there take on how the cars stack up given the different environmental driving climates and personal preferences. Perfect hosts might be dkoz, Jesda, Chad and our very livery Guru! Now that would be a car show I would watch! |

Top Gear is THE best auto publication out there, whether on print or TV. |

Top Gear shows here on the BBC, the episodes are only a year old, and they show the same ones over and over.

Urgh, I can't download things here on the University's internet!
GAHHH~!#$%##!T%@$#@$ Man, next week when I go home for Thanksgiving, I already told my dad to not expect the computer. I've got an entire music collection to acquire, countless shows, oh my god... blah.
I hate this. |
