Do love that show. Have every episode and watch at least one every week.

Strange thing, i have no passion for cars at all.

GTR in that right? Badass!

Yes you are right, nitrogen in the tires. It was so funny watching the other two guys go from train to train and then the suitcase bikes off the ferry. Such a good show.

Re: Top Gear
 

was a good episode that one. I'm a fan of all the epic races. The truffel race was a good one, too.

New American Top Gear starts Nov 21 on History channel. I don't know if it looks as good though. We shall see. This is the second set of cast in the last couple years. 2 years ago they tried this but scrapped it in a couple of shows.

Love the show!! I too am in fear of the American version. We just do not have the same type of humor as the Brits. I hope I am wrong and it is as good. Love the episode where they drive the 3 wheel car and it is rolling over at every corner and passersby roll it back over!!

Re: Top Gear
 

Anyone watching the new American Top Gear? It's on the History channel on Sunday nights. Last week was the first episode. All i have to say is......... eh:sh

Re: Top Gear
 

the first few seasons of uk top gear were eh too. it takes a while to get a cast to gel

Re: Top Gear
 

first episode of the US Top Gear sucked IMO.

Re: Top Gear
 

I heard it was pretty bad but I agree it will take some time to get good, if it does get really good.

I didn't care for it. It'll be hard to match the humor and chemistry of the original, but they do get to drive some sweet cars!

Re: Top Gear
 

Watching this weeks episode, and still don't like it. I don't know..... Watching Manning get hit is so much more fun than watching this show right now.

Re: Top Gear
 

missed the 1st 10 minutes but this weeks was good

Re: Top Gear
 

Second episode was worse than the first IMO.

Re: Top Gear
 

Next week they are going to try to do a "buy a cheap car" challenge. Lets see how they do trying to replicate that. Because the original Top Gear ones are hysterical.

Exactly my thoughts. It will be interesting to see how much they are allowed and what they come up with in the states.

Re: Top Gear
 

The thing with this show is how much they are modeling it after the UK show -- even calling their test racing driver "The Stig". If they want it to be so close to the UK show, why even do it?

I think they would have better luck doing it differently, but that's me... I really love the UK show. Jury is still out on the American version...

Re: Top Gear
 

Exactly! It's a seriously lame copy-cat without the humor. Slow paced and boring, imo.
