This is my favorite show. We usually watch full episode from final gear.

I pay for an upper tier from Cox just so I can watch Top Gear. One of my favorite episodes was the one where they got 'salt fever' driving a Challenger, a Corvette (built in Kan-tuckie), and a Caddy. That was the one where they had to do the report in a 'factual' mode so they could stay in the US.
I certainly don't take their American snipes seriously. All in good fun. But FYI, we're not all fat here.
Doesn't James own a Cayman, not a Boxster?

I don't pay a dime to watch TG. I download bit torrent files of it for free here:
http://www.finalgear.com/shows/topgear/
BTW, this is legal as it's publicly broadcast as far as I know.
They post episodes the second they're finished on Sunday nights. I download them ever Sunday evening and watch them on Mondays.
I really hate the fact that on Comcast they only show really old episodes from last year and are always lagging behind.

I blame Top Gear for getting me to buy my Boxster. Was never that into cars and mechanically retarded but that show sucked me right in. Saw the Boxter in one episode - never saw one in real life- and was like, dammmmmm that is a cool car. Next thing I know I am on ebay and Autotrader checking out what is available and again was like - dayyyyyum I think I can afford one of these....... those bastards ...now I even have the frikkin umbrella! Thank God its not a show about florida real estate!

Watch all episodes, new and old. Always something fun and interesting, even if I don't agree half the time.
Liked the episode with Shuey as "The Stig"...his Ferrari FXX really ripped the course at 1:10...unofficial, of course.

I always used to watch it when we had BBCA. We cut back to basic cable, and I was very disappointed that we no longer get Top Gear.

One of the producers bought a Cayman (Cockster!) but I believe in a recent 911 review episode James said he went out and bought a Boxster.
