I almost choked. They're mad, but what a genious way of being....mad. Probably the best I have seen so far, but feel free for hijacking attemptz :devil

That was good but watching the episode where the Southerners were crying about the "graffiti" on their three cars was hysterical. The funnier thing was when three people with an English Accent approach the lady and have camera crews around and it still doesn't dawn on her. :rofl
-
Very Funny, seen it before.. always good.

Top Gear is probably my favorite show on TV currently. The episode where they had to drive the length of Vietnam on motorcycles ranks among my favorites. :)

Top Gear is arguably my favorite TV show. Jeremy Clarkson is an amazing presenter.

The wooden ship on the back of Hammonds Minsk was hilarious.

Love the BBS here, for everyhting from news to the good shows, Top Gear being one of my favorites. I'm so happy they're airing new episodes again.

Top Gear, the Colbert Report, the Daily Show, and South Park (in that order more or less :) ) are the only shows I'm ever really worried about catching. Top Gear is great.
Bit off topic, how much is a stone in terms of weight? Not so much on Top Gear but on other BBC programming I hear this and I've never been sure how much it is...

1 stone is 14 Lbs, and 2.2 Lbs to a kilo

Yup, that's the easy stuff. And personaly I like the sound of telling people I'm 6'5" and 21 stone in weight. :D
Now go and try to figure out the metric means of meassuring hydrolic pressure (what we here in the states fondly refer to as "PSI" (Pounds per Square Inch) measurements), welcome to my world.
-
I use PSI, over BAR,
over here in England, we use a mixture of metric and imperial for instance
Pint of Beer, pint of milk
1 litre of petrol, coke and gallons of petrol
long distance is measured in miles and speed is measured in MPH
smaller measurements made in meters, CM and MM
weight in the following
lbs & kg

Don't mention that word around me unless it's an establishment serving tasty cold beverages or a horizontal structural element.
It's the only thing about the metric system that I find myself seriously questioning the sanity of whoever concieved it.

We use a mixture here in the states too, specifically US Customary in big print with metric in small print and parenthesis next to it :D We're taught how the metric system works in public schools... however most will never use it.

same here, I can imagine how much pressure 20PSI would be etc, if that makes sense. But I can not visualize/imagine 3 BAR of pressure lol...if that makes sense?
I agree, BAR is evil!

Season opener was classic. Best line IMO: "Ever notice that when Jeremy fills up, he looks like a teapot?" - James May. Bravo!! This IS the best show going.

Remember James Mays "colander" for a helmet? Bottom picture on the right. :rofl

IIRC, Jeremy used a Bucket for a bit on his Vespa, for a bit. :rofl

The SI unit is pascal not BAR

They used some BoB music on the initial link. Anyway, it was something for AH'ers to see them arrive and pass in Spitfires. Been petting one of those actually ;)
-
Brilliant show - the last season was a wee short at about 7 episodes, but new shows are back in october aparently!
Loved this episode's film...the use of the spitfires, the roar of the merlins, the classic BOB movie music, and the movie quote "We're on our own, playing for time and its running out"...that Sabine can chuck a car (and van) around the ring pretty good

1 bar = 100,000 Pascal = as close as makes no difference 1 atmosphere.

Because of your your post I've fooled no one :(
:p

You were completely right though: Bar is not an official SI unit. However it is based on the Pascal SI unit.
