Top Gear has been going here for as long as I can remember. The tall slightly annoying bloke with curly hair (Jeremy Clarkson) has been on it from the start I believe.
It's one of the few programmes about cars/mechnanical stuff my wife will watch with me as it's really entertaining.

Recently Jeremy raced a mew Merc (SLR) from London to Oslo, while the other 2 tried going by boat/public transport. Totally pointless waste of licence-fee payer's money, but good fun

I think Jeremy would go down well in the States- He's loud, opinionated and has a mental age of about 8

Didn't Tiff Needell and Vicki have Top gear? Now they have 5th gear correct? What's the story with the two parties now that Jeremy and the gang have the show? There seems to have been a rivalry at least in some of the specials that have the same format of trying to either outrace each other or run each other down in a destruction derby type car race

Top Gear is an awesome show. Wish there was a similar show here in the States and the 2 shows would rival. Now thats good TV

TG is a great show, dl'd some episodes, it's not available statesside, is it?

Current favorite is an all-lambo episode: Miura SV, Countach S, Murcielago all driven hard. Commentator ridicules the discomfort of the Countach while mourning the death of his boyhood dream of owning one.

Why do all English get the best Auto TV show(s) and car mags??

I tivoed the whole series here in the US. I have not seen an episode on TV for several months now. Not sure if it will be comming back or not. I loved it. They even had a seg on future colletibles and the 16v MB was one of them.

for those of you who have not yet seen this wonderful show, watch many of them at http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=top+gear&btnG=Search+Video

Cause they've got miles of country where they can go flat out in a supercar without fear of the local yokel...

Hmm, you're more likely to hit a badger or tractor actually

Maybe I should start recording the latest episodes (it's on tonight actually ) and selling it to you guys...
