Top Gear,

The Ford and Dodge could have made it all the way if they didnt drive them like they stole them. A true truck owner wouldnt beat their truck like that unless they have a endless wallet or just didnt care.

On top of that, bring the right tools out wheelin' with you and then you can fix most injuries on the trail and keep going...

That is true, but I think the mission of the episode was to go until it broke.

Didn't get to see the episode myself so i went looking for it on the internet. Here's the link for anyone who missed it.

I watched it and was very happy to see the Chevy win!! I thought the Dodge would win, simply through not breaking down.

Where as I may be a little bias, I think the BBC Top Gear is great. I don't have the facility to watch your guys doing it. I'm guessing you too have a "Stig" and a guest in a reasonably priced car wizing round a track.

On a side note, I've just worked out the cost of fuel from GBP to USD > you better sit down!
I recall the US gallon is different to "our" measure but one litre of petrol is GBP 1-40. Multiply that by 4.54 for a UK gallon and then convert to USD = $10-41 for ONE gallon!! Now that is rude.

They do indeed have the stig and reasonably priced car thing. I watched it while in Florida and enjoyed it. It's not quite as slick as the BBC top gear, but it's still in it's infancy.

That $10.41 a gallon is only because the £ is stronger than the $. Everything seems cheaper to us in the states but I'm sure for an American it doesn't feel cheap, they get paid in dollars after all. If a bottle of Coke costs a dollar in the US, it'll cost a pound in the UK etc etc  (not sure if that makes any sense?!?).

I’ll be strait up. I love BBC’s top gear. Its more entertaining just more funny all around. The guys on history try but they don’t have a funny man like Jeremy or hamster. They have tanner foust, a good racer and has a comical side. then they have Rutledge who appears to be kind of like James but a redneck type then you have Adam, I don’t know who or what he is but he doesn’t measure up to hamster at all. Jeremy makes me laugh at more things then all three of the U.S. tops gear guys.

Jeremy Clarkson is most funny when he's doing a car review in my opinion. I feel the studio sketches are sometimes a little too scripted. Some of his comments can be a little cringe worthy too, but on those occasions you have to think you're laughing AT him and not WITH him.

Yeah bud it does make sense > the one that gets me is shipping & import tax! If it wasn't those costs (for a hobby) I'd have a gold plated truck!

Back to Top Gear - How I'd love to present it!
