Love this show it has been over here in the US on discovery channel but I remember it way back when william wollard did it. I've been downloading from www.isohunt .com usually get to see show about 2 days after it airs!! Dont forget jermey in ariel atom and James in the new bugatti plus I love when they go on a camping holiday and burn down the caravan!! A car show and much much more.
top show.....we have been trying to get tickets but apparently there's a 3 year waiting list and a blanket ban on Hot Rodders (we're too rowdy apparently!!)
Too Rowdy, thats a reason to go LOL the cars they normaly have on the show are not my cup oft thee.. we bought a car next to the Pontiac for daily traffic, my 5 year old started crying, i dont wan a european car
Or maybe its because of the RoadTest Clarkson did for the English Magazine Street Machine (feb 92). The Owner of that car might still be looking for him... This is how he started the Article... "They say you should try everything once except incest and morris dancing, which seems fair enough, particularly if you keep my sister in mind. But there are two other things you should avoid as well, no matter how appealing they might seem at the time, attempt to have sex on a aeroplane because its downright uncomfortable and smelly. And you should not drive a 1947 Ford coupe with a 6.6 V8 in Beckham because it, too, is uncomfortable and smelly" Clarkson didn't really like the car, and he didn't mind saying so... Pretty funny acctually, in his own pompous ass way...
i though clackson owned some american muscle,seem to remember him buying something on the show years ago then having it shipped back to the uk
He bought one of the new Ford GTs and seemed to have all sorts of problems with it... But despite the fact he is a big dumbass, if you don't take what he says seriously you're in for a good piece of entertainment. It's fun, it doesn't intend to be anything but that. isn't this getting OT ?
I love that show. The burning down the caravan was freakin funny. Its so funny after so long the British do not "get" some of our cars. But they do bash on the English cars pretty harsh so I guess it evens out. I wish I had cable.
Take a look @ the episode i posted, the have to survive on RoadKill, @ first they only find possums and squirls, the wanna BBQ it... Clacksons leave`s for a few ouhrs and returns with a whole cow on top on his Camaro LMAO.. The paint: " Man Love Rules OK" in the midle of Alambama Redneck country on the cars of Clarckson...RIOT!!!!!
How about the one were they show you how fast you have to go to beat the UK traffic cameras! 170 mph. Thats a cool show in my book.
Given that they billed it as the pickup that frightens the crap out of the US military I think that particular clip is not, perhaps, the one to sell the show to our American buddies. Clarkson's arguement was that a 20 year old beat up Toyota pickup filled full of muslim farmers armed to the teeth with rocket launchers and fully automatic weapons is more than a match for any state of the art military Hummer. Only he didn't put it so tactfully and he added some other bits. Two years later the Top Gear website still gets complaints from US viewers about it - there's one on the letters page of this month's magazine.
Wish I could see the you tube videos, but they have been blocked/removed due to copyright violations.
I love Top Gear, I grew up with it from the 'latest diesel Citroen' tests to the current comedy show. The NASCAR SUCKS/MAN LOVE scene was fucking hilarious
