Top Gear tv show

[jmatta]

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 hate that show! I have watched every episoid for the last three years and I hate in even more.
I'll hate it again when I watch it tonight off the TEVO.

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.

When does it start up again?

The next set of six or seven episodes typically starts in June. If you check www.finalgear.com they keep it updated with countdowns till the next episode.

Have to admit, I'm not such a fan. What they don't know or appreciate about cars would fill a library.

IMHO, they belong on Comedy Central and if it's automotive comedy I want, I'll take Click and Clack, the Tappet Bros. over these guys anytime.

Have seen a few good segments on TG, but so few it really doesn't make it worthwhile for me.

Some want Chocolate and some want Vanilla...

Cheers!

What I love about TG is that they test drive exotic cars the same way I would if I knew I didn't have to pay for replacement tires or brake pads. They drive them like they stole them and push the cars way beyond their capabilities.

Compare this to the PBS show Motorweek from Owing Mills, Maryland, which never says a negative thing about any of the cars they review and the friggin' show puts me to sleep it's so dull and lifeless. It's like watching consumer reports on quaaludes.

TG is pure entertainment to me, who give a different high-end car a starring role as a guest each episode.

Each week though, Jeremy makes a comment that Americans are all fat and lazy while completely ignoring the fact that England has a serious obesity problem... and he's no skin and bones actor who could stand to lose 20 pounds himself.

>> ignoring the fact that England has a serious obesity problem

Unfortunately, very true.

I can only nod solemnly

I'm sorry...
Did you really just compare Top Gear to Click and Clack?

You just compared a show about humorous trio of moto-journalists vs a pair of humorous auto mechanics.

Three guys who actually test and torture cars, from top dollar exotics, to $1500 clunkers, and think of all different ways to amuse us, in comparison to two guys who don't even repair cars anymore, who think of new ways to mildly insult their callers and each other? Who stopped test driving cars after declaring the Toyota Corolla the most car anyone ever needs, and anyone who buys more car is an idiot?

You made this comparison?
On this forum?
Really?

I really love TG. It may not always be unbiased or factual. But its humorous and the cinematography is amazing. Their budget is ridiculous! No one but the BBC could ever pull it off like that.
