Not sure the Americans will "get" the humour, or the banter between the three guys.

BigCoyote, have you seen any Top Gear shows out there?

I don't see how it'll work - Clarkson will just be on about how rubbish most American cars are, how everything is too big and they should all buy small european cars.

Also, like you I don't think the humour would cross the atlantic all that well to the majority.

They're a sensitive bunch too. If they keep harkin' on about how no American car is built to go round corners they'll end up pi$$ing off a fair few natives.

There's banter and humour on Top Gear?

When did the start that?

Every episode. You must be watching with your eyes closed and listening with your pink fluffy ear-muffs on. Or it could be you don't like that type of humour.;);)

I have not seen the show - but there are several members in the club who watch it via internet -- they love it!!!
But it is hard to find.

I'll keep an eye out for it -- I love new auto shows:D

It's a great show. As long as you're not looking for a motor show that just reviews cars, and nothing else. If TG did that, it would be boring. But I think they have a good mix of reviewing cars (most folk can only afford to dream about), bitching about most BMW's and Merc's and just having a laugh and mucking about on almost anything with wheels.

Caught my first show last night on the Science Channel -- I thought it was pretty good:D

I set up the TiVo (dvr) to record the new episodes :cool:
