I believe my outgoing character is equally as impressive. Which is why I would make a perfect Stig.

Love love love Top Gear! The Top Gear test track will be on Gran Turismo 5, and I believe you can already watch Top Gear episodes on GTTV on Prologue (or will be able to soon).

My favourite episode has to be between the African one, or the second amphibious vehicle one. Just brilliant.

HA!!!! the amphibious vehicles episodes are soooooo funny. the race w/ the rv's is hilarious, but i think the all time funniest is the one w/ the home-made limos where they make their own limos. that is sooooo funny.

Oh man, when they take those celebs to that award show? LOL. May getting completely lost

that celeb sure got mad at him...it was classic. i loved the end of the show as well when they took the limos through the obstacle course, and hammond, in his convertible limo, got blasted w/ water.

I don't know if I am happy with their choice of hosts.

We shall see.

Ugh. We'll see.

I watched this for the first time the other day with a friend of mine. I don't even like cars, but still found the show very entertaining. Very well put together. Saw the episode where they challenge the Germans, the double decker car part had me laughing my head off.

***Pauler*** · 08-05-2008, 12:15 PM

YES...another convert. its such a good show.

So apparently NBC didn't pick up the American version and it is currently looking for a cable channel to air it. I'm not really surprised since NBC enjoys making bad choices on everything except sitcoms.

On another note, did anyone catch the Vietnam episode? I think it is my favorite so far.
