Looks like Top Gear is finally comming to American television! Agreed DiscoveryChannel is airing older episodes but if you have the means I highly recommend it.

Discovery Channel Top Gear Schedule in July.

For the uninitiated.... Top Gear on BBC2 is truly a car guy show with a brittish spin. Includes test drives, quirky and inventive reviews and comparisons and the always funny star in a reasonably priced car segment.

Tonight's episode includes a challenge to see if an Apache Helicopter can get missile lock on a Lotus Exige.

Downloaded episoded off the internet FinalGear.com are decent (thanks TB (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) ) but TV DVD versions would be worth the effort.

Finally.  I love Fifth Gear, and can't wait for this one.  Brit car shows are just so much more entertaining than US car shows.  Besides which they get some really cool cars that aren't even sold here.

On a seperate not, I got to see a Lotus Elise up close the other day.  Much better looking in person, and definitely a really cool car.  I think we may go test drive one this weekend while we're down in Dallas.

I got to autocross one last weekend. Awesome little car. Very well balanced, easily rotates, and smooth power. But it's a bitch getting in and out of. Not a daily driver IMHO.

5th Gear was good tonight. It's some older episodes but it's always fun to watch.
