    ahhh

    Ahhh... Top Gear

    I love Hamster!

    Did you see the episode where Hamster, Jeremy & Slow dude James went to the southern US & thier challenge was not to get killed.. OMG it was one of the best episodes ever!!! I won't say what they wrote on thier cars & the threats they encountered

    Last night's episode was cool too. They revisted the Aqua Car challenge & Jeremy's vehicle made it all the way to france!

    Did I mention we're Top Gear Fans in our house?

    Ah, good, I'm not alone. They just started showing it on BBC America here a few months back, so it's all pretty new to me, but I did see the aqua car challenge. I liked the one where they raced across Africa in their junky cars. I think every piece that could fall off James' car did. I did not see the Southern challenge, but I will absolutely be on the lookout for it!

    We've been watching it for quite awhile. It's a hoot.

    I think my favorite is the caravanning episode or maybe the "build a space shuttle" episode.

    They have also had an episode where the car lost to the marathon runner doing the London Marathon route (not during the marathon). And one where the car lost to two freerunners crossing Liverpool. Basically getting across any city the car looses out, which is of course not what they want. One of my favourite episodes was when they re-created the winter olympics.....including sending a mini down the ski jump with rocket boosters.

    Sounds like a hoot! I'll have to check my BBC America channel schedule for that.
