The episode where they have to drive from Florida to New Orleans was to die for. I don't know if its just be being American, but OMG, they tried to kill each other...

BTW, we're all not like that...I mean we have teeth up north... :poke: :fuelfire:

I'm going to go against the grain - I really like Top Gear, but the bad press he gives some cars, unneccesarily, is really annoying.
Currently car-less!

Def Top Gear, the big difference is, my wife and daughter who have no interest in cars love it, it is totally entertaining
Z4 Mineral Grey, 28i MSport Auto, lots of goodies
Z4 E85 3.0, gone but now with son :D

Top Gear for me too, but they need to be careful they don't get too silly and muck about at the expense of serious car reviews

That really annoyed me as well when I first started watching Top Gear but once I got past that and watch the show as entertainment and accepted JC as he is what he is... :P
