Thanks!

I used to hate the host, but the I can't get enough of it now.

I, uh, saw the American version of Top Gear. Just...not the same...

I watched the first episode last night and recorded the rest.

One thing I agree with Clarkson on, I would take a F-40 over an Enzo any day. But then if I could actually afford ether of them I probably wouldn't care.

Top Gear is kind of like Howard Stern...you either love it or hate it. I think it rocks. I do not understand why the US is incapable of creating a car show that isnt a 30 minute (or 60 minute) advertisement.

I first watched Fifth Gear, which is great. But then I got hooked on Top Gear, which is even better. It's amazing how good the British are at making car shows that are really enjoyable to watch. It's got to be a combination of the great cars they do along with the campy British humor.

Bingo!

So much brown nosing, so watered down...so scripted...It's literally like the old LS1. Afraid to say anything bad about a product 'cos you don't want to offend your adverstisers.

Recently, a show I worked on got a chunk of the show edited out (days before it's aired, c@ck suckers). Reason? The show's lawyers afraid to be sued because a display of some products being used to help sick children in a hospital.

It's a hard work to put on a good, entertaining show...
