Awsome!

They hate diesel on that show, Clarkson calls it the devils fuel.:D

"Anouncing to the world, I'm a tight wad I drive a diesel!":D

I think I would have to beat it to death too. That's funny.

doesn't bother me if he hates diesel, he doesn't know a brake booster from an alternator

Hahaha, I had seen that product before but never thought Jeremy Clarkson would get ahold of one. :D ;)

I don't think people really watch Top Gear for all the "car-knowledge" type stuff... they (and I'm including ME) watch (and love) it because the hosts are hilarious.

That would be Sabine Schmitz, and it's the Nürburgring in Nürburg (NOT Nuremburg, as is often mistaken).

Its entertainment, and I love British humour!:D If you want tests and data read Car & Driver.

Fifth gear (the other show) usually gives more specs and specific tests etc....but I will say that its far more boring than Top Gear. Top gear is awesome! :D

Exactly...It's so addictive because it's hilarious. The show would most likely be doing terribly if it wasn't as funny as it is. I mean, watch most of their "Top Gear Challenges." Building their own amphibious cars and driving them across the English Channel? How absurd and hilarious can they get? And the S-Class Cottage. Other than the destruction of a perfectly good 140 interior, that one was pretty good.

I liked the drive across Africa, in which the W123 pwned all!:D

The moral of the story is if you ever need a car to drive across Africa, and cannot get a Toyota Land Cruiser, use a W123.:D

Yeah, but it was a g@$$er ;)
