Look, I love the Camaro and GTO as much as the next guy, but where the HELL does the History Channel (they of the Zinn bitchfest, "People's History of The US" bullshit) get off trying to duplicate a show as iconic and singurlarly brilliant in it's pureness as BBC's TopGear?!?!? Who at the BBC needs to have their head pulled out of their ass for even agreeing to this abortion of an idea in the first place???
From the trailer we saw, it looks to be hosted by a bunch of douchebags who fall somewhere between the Jackass cast and the two guys from Mythbusters.

It's really quite simple...
If it ain't Clarkson, May, Hammond, it ain't shit. Call me an anglophilem but didn't we learn anything from that "Weakest Link" train wreck???
My favorite quote from the teaser trailer:
I just drove a Lamborghini 190 MPH!!!!!
Oh yeah, asswipe? Captain Slow drove a Bugatti Veyron 225 MPH. Suck it, you morons...
There. I feel better now.

Dude. I just posted this as my FB status. "doesn't think the American Top Gear is going to be as entertaining as the British Top Gear."
So, one of the dudes is an actor, one is a NASCAR guy, and the other a Rally guy, right?
How many fast cars are out there? Haven't we seen them already????
I saw that episode yesterday. Is Jeremy the only one that hasn't driven the Veyron? I don't recall him in one, but I could be mistaken.
And, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Tom Cruise was not a pud on the show. That was pretty nifty.

Yeah, I was completely impressed with Cruise's humility, as well as Diaz's geniune thirll at being on the show.
I especially loved Jeremy's total sudden love of the Prius while he was throwing himself at her. :rotf:

He even mentioned it in the next show, with Jeff Goldblum! :lmao:

Yeah, and unfortunately, that's the last show of this season!!! :banghead:
We still haven't been able to figure out why this season was only 6 episodes long. :-(

Didn't want to compete with the Yanks? Doubtful. Their seasons are always squirrely. Hopefully they will show the Oliver episode in repeats. I would love to have that one recorded.

You really need to see about getting yourself an Apple TV...
As I said earlier, I buy the season pass for this show each season, and end up with the entire season on my laptop. Plus, each episode they show you the 15-20 minutes of footage BBC America DOESN'T show you on cable.
Worth every penny, Deb. The guy needs to get it for you for Christmas. Well, that and a $50 iTunes gift card so you can buy the previous seasons. :-)
You're a chick. Use the tools God gave ya, for pete's sake! :-)

I will have to buy it my own dang self. :( I only get "practical" gifts for Christmas. But, I might just get some gift cards and I can pool them together to get my own! :-)

BS for dragging my thread here into the same, lame-ass bullshit you've been pulling over in the temper tantrum you started over in Fight Club. :fuelfire:

I'm torn on the new TG. I'll wait and see, but it doesn't look very promising.
Kinda wish they had stuck with Adam Carolla. I have no idea who these three metrosexual-looking strangers are.

It's gotten so bad that I've programmed a timer to go off after 60 minutes, just to go ahead and bitchslap :bitchslap: Thor. Again.
It's the only way to keep track.
:rotf:

Ummmm...excuse me, you peckerwood, petulant, pissant...

...had NOTHING to do with my OP.
Now if you'll excuse me, I believe I'm in need of dinner tonight, and that Pomeranian your wife emasculated you into buying for her looks just perfect. :-)

My timer is set to bitchslap Thor until March.

Ummmm...... NO THANKS!!! I'm sure there are plenty of queers in Hollywood for you to do that to. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

Sigh. Back to the OP. HWC, I was just talking to one of my co-workers about the very same thing. Turns out he watches BBC Top Gear "occasionally" but he is super "stoked" to watch the American Top Gear, because they are gonna have a NASCAR side.
On another note, the F1 is coming to Austin in 2012. Already planning a road trip. :hyper:

Had mine planned 30 seconds after I heard it was happening. :tongue:

I've got it recorded. Series 10, Episode 4. That one ranks right up there with the Vietnam and English Channel challenges.
Wait, who am I kidding? They're all great. :cheersmate:

To be fair, the people we are going with have probably been planning it that long as well, I am just riding on someone else's coatstrings. And, I am ok with that. :hyper:

Sabine Schmidt in the Van. That one ranks up there as a most memorable. You are right though they are all great.

We had a tread about American TOP GEAR awhile back and most of us said it looked like it would suck.

There's been a couple. I remember starting one of them.
These guys looks like a couple of putzes. I don't care how well that other guy "drifts", drifting is not racing.

'Wheeler Dealers' needs more exposure here. I know you ladies would love Edd. He's handy and he's 6' 6".
Me, I just love the cars.
-
Drifting is like the short-bus for race car drivers.
-
Pretty much. A semi-controlled slide. Yawn.
It looks like synchronized swimming for men.

To be quite frank, I like the cars better than the guys. Although sometimes the guys are cool. :-)
Next year's vacation will be at Bonneville, if everything works out right. I am not a car nut, just dating one. It kinda rubbed off. I didn't have a choice!
-
We're not watching it... at least not me. My husband will probably watch it. But why? I mean, there are only a certain amount of cars I'm willing to watch while they are being driven fast and hard. What is the American version going to bring to the table? All of the same cars, just driven by different people? No thanks.
BBC America started playing the FULL version of the shows now. :)
Although the season is over, it's nice to know BBC isn't cutting episodes short.

Shit, for a minute I thought it was Top Queer............................. :hammer:
