Top Gear Appreciation Thread

Does anyone else appreciate Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond? The show is on bbc.... Anyone?

I loved that show. Too bad it doesn't come on discovery any more, i dont get BBC:ermm:

[rbgnwa45]

I used to watch it everday but I got sick of James' old-guy approach to cars and Richards' obsession with 911's. Jeremy's funny as hell and has great analogies for everything.

The people tend to annoy me a bit since they can be a bit biased. But overall i do enjoy the show. They try their very best to give unbiased reports and they succeed most of the time.

Overall one of the best shows ever :)

but one thing i hate is how they compare everything to a damn miata. ITS A WOMENS CAR, LEAVE IT TO THE WOMEN.

lol... I agree with them doing their best to give unbiased opinions. It's gotta be hard to do when you're trying to give your honest opinion about a Porsche Cayman when you just tested the Ferrari Enzo the week before :p

It is a pretty great show but some of the staging is getting a little eh :ermm:

I like it... it's pretty amusing. I don't watch it very often, but when I do I usually enjoy it!

It's alright but I think they're all biased. If it's an american car they hate it... period. The only one they said was, "alright" was the ZR1.

Was it the ford focus RS? because that car is awesome. 300HP 6 cylinder and its pretty light. its only downfall is its front wheel drive.

He used to years ago. He got rid of it because it was so unreliable and he had a hard time getting work done to it over there. He gave it back to Ford for a refund but bought it back a year after or something. Later he got rid of it for the final time when he bought a Gallardo.

Volvo T5 engine and Jezza lives down the road from me. Got a F1A jet fighter in his front garden!!!!

I love the show. They beat the crap out of cars I would be afraid to drive with that kind of price tag. Can only take so much English humor though. Saloon for a 4 door. Boot for a trunk.

I love TG, I was actually just watching some before I logged on here.

You have to remember, after about season 10 TG stopped being a car show and started to become an entertainment show, with cars in them.
If you want unbiased reviews, then go watch Fifth Gear.

Top Gear is my favorite show of all time, easily. All you guys that are watching it on BBC America and the likes are missing out. BBC America is only showing season 12(not 100% sure), while the rest of us are watching for season 15. Not to mention you're not getting the full show. The best way is torrents. I usually download an episode an hour after it airs in the UK.
