  • The best car show - ever

    Top Gear, (BBC2) is now available for legal download.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/programmes/?id=top_gear


    Check out some of it - Its current format makes it probably my favourate weekly programme ....

    Its totally irreverent, funny, and yet intresting.

    Public Proadcasting at its best.

    Check out the track times league table here - they road test Sports cars (and a a few others!) on a standardised track.

    Many of the cars that we have on Top Gear are given the chance to set a lap time on our track. We obviously don’t send every car round, but the fun ones all get a thrashing at the hands of The Stig.

    In order to qualify for the power laps board, a car must be road legal, and be a car. For this reason the F1 car (0.59.0), Aston Martin DBR9 (1.08.6) and Sea Harrier (0.31.2) do not appear.

    I love Top-Gear, but a friend of mine hates it, with an interesting explanation -
    Why should I torture myself watching those bastards having fun with my dream cars, while earning a sh1tload of money for it, HA?


    edit: p.s.
    I told him to stop watching movies, cause people there are having fun with his dream girl(s) for even more money

            Top Gear is becoming less about cars and more of an automotive themed light entertainment show.
            Still, it's better than 5th Gear, even if 5G has Jason Plato and the occasionally fanciable Vicky Butler-Henderson.
