Title: Top Gear Funniest Moments...
Post by: Mustaine on December 29, 2008, 11:12:22 PM
normally I kind of get all grumpy at all Jeremy Clarkson's ameri-bashing, but damn if this didn't make me laugh out loud for about 5 minutes...

Review of the Ford F150 shown here:

I absolutely love Top Gear. For me, I don't think it's so much the challenges or competitions they do (though  I do love them) I think it's more the connection Jeremy, Richard and James share for both their jobs and for each other. To me, Top Gear is simply three opinionated monkeys driving very expensive and sometimes very inexpensive cars doing silly things.  Absolutely love it. :aok

I liked the one when they came to the US and had to pay $1500 dollars for a car and drive it from the east coast to New Orlens with challenges along the way. The funniest one was when they got to paint each others car with the intention of getting thier buddy arrested or killed. I was laughing my head off when they pulled into that gas station in Alabama with "NASCAR SUCKS" and "MAN LOVE RULES" painted on each others car..

It is a good show.

i liked the 0 to 50 to 0 test on that episode. the dodge not only didn't make it to 50, but he just about drove it into the pond of gators.

Best use of a spitfire in a non war show.

"Kiff the one-armed sound man" will go down in my books as one of tv's greatest characters.  :D

He named the Corvette ZR1 his car of the year in the Sunday Times at the weekend.

You guys are lucky...we Americans get chopped down episodes.  I don't even think BBC America shows all the episodes, either. Our next new episode is the one where they race a Nissan GT-R and a bullet train across Japan.  Is that the same for you British/Australian viewers?

We had that one in Aussie about 2 or 3 weeks back. I think this week's is "What not to do with trucks, and how not to do it."
