I think I'm one of the few people on Earth who likes US Top Gear better than the UK counterpart. :hide:

You're not alone. US Top Gear is best Top Gear!

TG USA is just the road trip version of the UK TG
I think other US car shows tried to be nearer to TG format but seem to have failed.

I've enjoyed both shows this season but the Sedona show may not have allowed them to us electronic comms but it was absolutely scripted throughout - why do they need to pretend otherwise :shrug:

I certainly like USA Top Gear more since they went to this format that the earlier seasons when they had the useless segment in studio and a celebrity driving a slow car around a boring track.

Of course it's scripted- are you saying you think the UK one isn't?

Adam's 6.4l AEV Brute was awesome. If he wasn't racing Tanner Foust, it would have owned that hill climb.

No. I'm sick of both shows acting as if the guys were being spontaneous, such as pretending that they are lost in Sedona. I think it would have been just as enjoyable to script them that they had GPS waypoints to their various "challenges" such as the stairway/hill climb/ski run and then rely on their reactions as they do them

I agree- the pretending to be lost, pretending random things happen that are obviously scripted hurts the show. That said, still good overall.

Doctor what?

No, What was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer whose improvements to the Newcomen steam engine were fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution in both his native Great Britain and the rest of the world.
Doctor Who is a program on the BBC network. The Doctor normally travels through both time and space, usually with a companion centuries younger than him that would seriously benefit a heavy duty banging session.
Seriously, he's almost 1,000 years old, and he's hanging around with a 23 year old.

No wonder the BBC is a cesspit of old predatory perverts!

I enjoyed the show this week, that hulk chap, Lou, seems to have weathered better than Arnie


I may not like the bearded twat but I think they should stick with the current crew. TG UK is so enjoyable because they get on so well and the interactions between them make the show seem friendlier and worth watching - it's like seeing old pals messing around

A race with diesel burners would be good, esp he modern crop of them. Then they should show the average mpg at the end of hte show after much hooning and let folks know how damned efficient they are. A BMW 330d will do 60 in 7s and hit 45mpg too. Fun and frugal

Definitely one of their best, and funny throughout


That snow tank looks ideal for clearing hordes of zombies too :thup2:
