Clarkson owned a Ford GT for a while, but i think he got rid of it because it was too impractical on our roads, and Hammond has a Mustang - so i don't think they are that anti Americar ;)

I was a little surprised when Captain Slow came around to the Caddy... of course, he also like the Chrysler Crossfire convertible, so maybe he's loosing his marbles  :lol :aok

As an American I can say I love that show but get alittle  :furious when they bash america.  Saying we are all fat, stupid, and such is not even close to the facts.  Loved it that they showed every stupid person they could in the show....and the homeless person.  But I guess that's what a fact show is about...only the facts.  Clarkson would drive me crazy to hang out with and I could see myself getting along with Hammond...he seems cool.  Capt. Slow....well I would wench slap him at the first time he opened his mouth...the man is a total waste on the show.  I don't care who you are but the zed-r 1  :O vette was sex on wheels.  Really was also hoping they would have a new Mustang GT 500 KR on the show.  540hp in a badly built brute of an american car:

But then common joes couldn't relate to it, and there wouldn't be a model from the latest batch of retro muscle.

Don't get so wound up, it is Top Gear, they play on the stereotypes of everything for a laugh.  I have been to see the show being filmed live, Clarkson is funnier and less PC off air than he is on it - not just an act.  He is a legend.

James May is great on the show, all 3 work so well together.

Top Gear is probably the best all-around produced series on TV IMHO.  Their jabs at all things Americana I think are spot-on and hilarious.  Even the "Zed-are one" put a smile on ole Jeremy's face!

Right..... $100k zr1 common joes..... I can see why they wanted the retro muscle. It was the only muscle car of the bunch...wasn't it supposed to be a show about just that? 
I just want to see Clarkson review the ACR. Probably say it's about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the temple ... or something. I just know it would make for some great entertainment.

sounds no different than GT's i've seen here, pretty crappy built cars. DiabloTX pointed out some welds on that car that a 5 year could have done better.

Yeah if it were up to me there'd have been more than just that one challenger.. But then the show would be less exciting and wouldn't appeal to as wide an audience.. It's a tough job pleasing everyone :)

Yes it is - and none of you understand sarcasm. And all Brits are evil despots trying to hatch fiendish plans to take over the world. And they all have bad teeth.

It is probably better to watch Top Gear on the net than on US tv anyway.  The BBC over here has no commercial breaks, this means that Top Gear is pretty much a full hour long.  It will be heavily edited if you watch it on US tv with commercial breaks to fit within the standard hour time slot.

The only Top Gear i see is reruns from 2 years ago that they keep playing,good show though. Clarkson has to be one of the funniest guys out there.

Is anyone watching the US version of Life On Mars? Any good?

Also - if you're into 'Monty Python'-esque humo(u)r, I highly recommend Little Britain USA.

For me the best british comedy is peep show, it's the only comedy which makes me laugh out loud.  It generally has a slow build up that culminates in an absolutely hilarious ending.  They're currently making a 6th series.

An episode for you guys in the US who haven't heard of it- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=v9Za1JOa65k&feature=related (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=v9Za1JOa65k&feature=related)

Yeah, those were pretty surprising, considering the price of the car and how it was supposed to be "hand-made".  Well, I guess they really were hand-made...by the lowest bidder.
