Top Gear

Texan in Mexico · 08-01-2010, 12:55 PM

Ok, so I know I must be the last guy to see this show.

Been living out of the States for a while and got Dish TV recently down here and have become addicted to BBC and specifically Top Gear.

What a great mixture of humor and fast cars - the only way to improve would be to have Jessica Alba as a co-host.

Any other fans?

I love this show and have been watching it for several years! One of my favorites is when they try to make a cheap space shuttle using a Reliant Robin (some british car -- a three wheeler I think).

Huge fan.

Mugen910 · 08-01-2010, 04:31 PM

Top what?

Welcome to one of the most watched shows in the world

Weekly viewership is estimated at 350million worldwide, but that's just a guess since a large number of it's viewers download the program instead of watching a traditional tv broadcast.

Last one to the party then?

Great show, tonight they are flying a hot air baloon with an RV attached to the bottom...

It's fan-freaking-tastic! I've loved this show for a long time.

loki · 08-01-2010, 09:41 PM

netflix has a few seasons for instant watching....

Mugen910 · 08-01-2010, 09:45 PM

Travis you have to watch my top 3 favorites of Top Gear:

1) Viet Nam Special
2) 24hr Endurance Race
3) Top Gear goes to Africa

Close 3rd is the "Bolivia" and "Learning The Finnish Flick" Episodes.

Don Fernando · 08-02-2010, 05:40 AM

the best one imo is the one where they are in the south of the US.

Texan in Mexico · 08-02-2010, 06:33 AM

Thanks, I will look to see if they have those episodes on you tube or somewhere else.

I saw the one from the Southern US - they take quite a bit of license by artificially creating certain situations however it is so funny.

No one mentioned when the tried to convert cars into amphibious vehicles!!! Two shows of it, the first is just across a pond, the next season...... across the English channel.
Hysterical!!!!

jmsremax · 08-02-2010, 08:08 AM

I enjoy this show, but sometimes they can be go overboard. Still wish I had their jobs.

Never heard of this show, but I remember the video game from the 90s.

Apoco · 08-02-2010, 11:34 PM

1. Vietnam episode
2. Reliant Robin

The last 15 minutes of the first episode of this season is the funniest 15 minutes of TV that I have seen in a LONG time!
