QUOTE=Lil bastard]Those guys are hacks - Reality TV meets the Horseless Carriage.
I can think of so many other shows that are so much worse. I do not think of these guys as serious motorsports journalists. They are for entertainment. They are Hilarious. I like the mix of mostly serious evaluations of new sports cars and the stupid but really funny missions that they take on. Playing soccer with subcompacts, building limosines from sedans and trying to cross the English Channel in a truck.... pretty entertaining. Without them, I would have never seen a Bugatti Veyron hit 250+ MPH.
I was raised in Europe - They missed quite a few.[/QUOTE]
They were bound to miss quite a few. It was just a one hour show. You are lucky though. There were some beautiful roads and scenery in France and Italy when I was there many years ago. Just watching this show made me wish that it was spring already and I could get out there.
We have just had a dusting of 5 inches of snow tonight in the Chicago area with more snow this week.
The best drive I have had was in a rented Sebring convertible
up the pacific coast from San Francisco when my wife and I were younger and before kids. The car sucked but the beautiful weather, the ocean and miles of twisty roads that were essencially deserted... Ahhhh! what more can you say?
What are your favorite roads?
