top gear is a good show...i don't really understand why i watch it though since i'm not a huge car enthusiast. it's entertainment for when i'm eating

QUICK SIDE NOTE** if i had dollar OR POUND for every time they say, "...right" or "...ABSOLUTELY" or "...BRILLIANT" i'd be wealthy. then again i think most british people use these words as much as americans say, "...like" or "err" or "gay"

AM I RIGHT

I watch TopGear for the show. I don't have a clue what cars they go on about, and most of the time the other half fills me in. I'm not a car person...

But its funny as fuck, and at that time of night I'm usually just sitting down for a meal, which makes it great TV (On Dave, of course, its only every day).

One of the best shows on TV. Just gets better. Its so good it even makes me ignore that sucking/breathing in noise Jezza does after every sentance.

Good episode last night - Boris was slightly less legendary than usual but I guess you have got to expect people to change when they become mayor of London

oh god, may got pounded in that boat.
i can't understand the allure of powerboats. Spend 1.2mil to get your head kicked in for an afternoon of going 50mph.
I'll take the Ferrari. :up:

Nah.. . Hammond was fond of the C6, although Clarkson made fun of it.

Later, Clarkson was raving about the Z06, and how it wasn't much different from a Ferrari.
I think they at least respect the Corvette for its ability, although it doesn't always come through.

On that America episode, I feel like James' opinion of the Caddy was forced. I doubt he really loved it as much as they tried to make it seem. :shrug:

I know, I know. The Veyron and Pagani Zonda thing was brilliant. The review starts brilliantly with the following quote:
"I don't want to find some look-at-me two door Italian supercar with a 250mph speedo and a 250 thousand pound pricetag or any of that sort of rubbish. I want to drive something more like... well to be honest, so... some... oh cock..."

That video is a mirror image of the actual video, which I didn't realise until I'd watched it and read the comments. I thought the title meant mirrorred as in file mirrored. Trust you to post a shit version. Thanks a lot cunt.
