Way OT: Top Gear

[crazycanuck]

Hey,

Any of you down under ladies watch Top Gear on SBS? I know it's not cycling but it's a cool show & rather amusing. I'm clueless on horsepower (i thought that was what horses ran on), V6, V8(something you drink), etc etc...

We're a season behind the UK though & won't get to see Hamster's crash until later in the year.

Vroomm..

Not down under, but yeah, Top Gear is pretty good. Didn't like Jeremy driving up the mountain in the landy (so much for tread lightly) but most times he's not too annoying.

I am NOT a car geek - but I luuuurve this programme

The American version just doesn't cut it, and I don't bother

But I try to never ever miss an episode of Top Gear - there is something about the brutal honesty, dry wit and British charm that makes this "must watch" telly...

We all watch the re-runs too when they are on - even my daughter who has less interest than me in cars appreciates and enjoys this show.

It's "Must view" in this house.

BF loves it. I don't really like that richard hammond guy because of that crappy science show he did a while back on ten... However the old guy is pretty funny. ^_^

They've gotten some pretty good celebrities on there for hot laps. Jaimie Oliver, and David Walliams (little britain)

There's an american version? Ugh.

I didn't know that either, we watch them from the 'puter. If we are getting the american version, what are missing out on?
Iron Chef America, now that sucks.

I don't even drive (never learnt how, don't have a licence) but I love Top Gear
