 Re: Top GearThe original British one on BBC is a bunch better. Not as much big truck stuff since they don't drive many in that chunk of the world, but still very cool.

Re: Top Gear Did they happen to have one of these?
 I didn't realize the efteen-thousand was an actual rig! |

Re: Top Gear That thing needs it's own zip code.
I didn't start watching till last season when they drove to a glacier in Alaska. some of there things are okay but I do agree that the British version is better. Jayson _________________ 74, MONEY EATER |

Re: Top Gear I just starting watching Top Gear 2 weeks ago. The Diesel truck showdown episode was amazing - to see Tanner drifiting that Ford was so cool. As for my pick, the DuraMax, the bearded guy didn't push the traction control button to let the tires spin - should have picked up the owner's manual. Amazing that Ford and Chevy are puting out almost 700 tq from the factory. Very cool show. I will see if I can get the BBC Version. The fun lap with stars in a Suzuki/Kia car is very cool.
I have been watching 'The Car Show' with Adam Carolla since it premiered a few weeks ago - it is good if you have DVR to skip the racer interviews. _________________ "I truly believe that good will outweigh evil, but there won't be peace on earth until the power of love overcomes the love of power" - Jimi Hendrix |

Re: Top Gear Shoot me your address. I'll see if I can burn some to DVD or something and get them to you over there. Do you have a computer you can watch them on?

Re: Top Gear The Car Show is on Speed Channel on Wednesday nights. I didn't know Adam had a Bronco - love to it sometime.

Re: Top Gear Zilla, I was going to post the same tread, just didn't get to it. Anyway, I enjoy the show, but I also know what applies and what doesn't. Just fun to watch. This is the second season FYI. Tanner romped on a raptor last season and that was pretty awesome to see. What about the Local Motors buggy thing...? Pretty sweet and affordable for what I thought!

Re: Top Gear For the price of that local motors thing I would much rather take a Raptor.

Re: Top Gear ya i can't stand the american top gear, i think the guys are moron's on it, but the british one is hilarious, and i think they have better tastes. they did a poll to see what were the top ten best auto manufacturers in the world were, and there was only one american company on it, and it was ford, and it was number one to boot, that helped me respect the brit's a lil' more
