Top Gear on Discovery
Finaly, its here.
Clarkson drove a production Fprd GT and says he will be one of 28 brought to the US, so this show must be old as it turns out that his GT was recalled for several things.
They are NOW letting grandmas do doughnuts in S2000's....
hilarious....just...amazing.
its on every weds at 10pm btw

i refuse to watch it. they're biased, and on top of that, not very good drivers.

Biased, eh...to tell you teh truth, better then the half rate American car writers. That show is so well put together, the cinematography is fantastic.
The one guy actualy came to the US to buy a 68 Lime Green Charger 440 RT. Clarkson purchased a Ford GT after driving the test model in America.
They can be very biased for European, and British brands, but they are just rooting fo the home team (even though there are none left), which is understandable, but American writers will put down and destroy anything that is American.

i was always partial to dalene on NOPI. ever see her playboy stuff? fake or not, those are some lovely melons.
top gear - D+
they get some interesting cars, have pretty decent storylines (driving a ferrari as opposed to travelling by bus, train, airplane) but i can't stand anyone who disses america. and to say that the corvette is unrefined... drivel!

I dunno if they actually used the word "unrefined" but they did compare the rear suspension (monoleaf) to "vietnamese horse-drawn carraiges"

...Yet it beat out cars 2x its price.
Lets see what they have to say about Z06, and now that numbers are rolling out of C&D, Europe better get set
