Top Gear - anything about top gear?

[moslerporschefreak]

When will BBC America cave in a run top gear in the U.S.? Anyways, as for the controversy over who is better, Tiff or Clarkson, I like them both.

Obviously, Tiff is better for the high end car reviews. he bases his reviews not on functionality, but on performance and driver invovlment due to his racing history. Clarkson is more of a family man, he looks at more than performance and into the practicality, sometimes too much...

Oh well. so when will it come to america?

email BBC America till they show it

As for DVD's there is a best of series one and two but it doesn't include everything. the other thing is its pal and if you live in the States unless you bought a Multi region DVD player and Plasma TV (since those are the only tv's that come as multi region or universal) it won't play. It would probably work on your PC tho. Although i don't know for sure

Thanks

A recent TG mag had a free DVD with it.. cars including the Zonda, Koenigsegg, DB7GT & other good highlights.

I agree with CeeJay that the new studio-based programme isnt really up to scratch. it can be funny but overall i say cut the chit-chat and lets have more cars!

Tiff rules, last time i saw 5th gear he was thrashing an M3CSL around a track and before that a Zonda - the guy is obviously very talented.
Neutrino, youre absolutely right, Clarkson sometimes puts down a car for some obscure reason or for something that goes against what everyone else has said about the car... he's biased but funny, and a good presenter.. i love his digs at 5th gear.. "now we'll move up from 5th gear... to TOP GEAR!" with a cheeky smile at the camera...

If only JC, Tiff & Quentin could be reunited.. that would kick ass

I went to a motorshow at the birmingham NEC ages ago and Clarkson shouted at quentin 'Get over here you bald bastard' because they had a Top Gear stand and they had to do a show.

It would be reasonable to have Tiff and Quentin back but somehow i think that Jeremy Clarkson left Top Gear originally because of those two anyway and the new format for Top Gear is much better than the old which fifth gear uses. Although i don't think Quentin does fifth gear anymore. He seems to only do Britain's worst celebrity driver. Note Tiff Needel also presents some other shows based on engineering achievements and also narrates most of the other shows that deal with this sector.

However the other two blokes on top gear now are good enough and the Stig is good enough to be the test driver. I just wish the Stig was Damon Hill. He can drive.

I think JC, Tiff and Richard'd be the best Combo


Just my opinion though.


Of course with Tiff, there'd be no need for the Stig

[Cavallino]

Wasn't it rumored for a while that Tiff was the Stig? Also Top Gear recently found a new Stig didn't they? I try to ctach it whenever I can over here but it keeps changing times.

James May..............Yeah, I've been a long-time reader of his columns/articles- if he isn't a homosexual, then he sure is a closet one

[FireBball972]

it'd be pretty awesome if BBC America would get the stick out of their ass and air Top Gear

[moslerporschefreak]

Yeah, they should know that it would get them more viewers than the awful home and garden shows that they seem to specialize in. Fools.

It's official. Jimster is the Stig.

Yeah I knew it all along. The country music phase gave him away.

[Jimster]

I am not the Stig






I just put on a black helmet and occasionally punt a supercar around a Lotus-designed track- is that really a crime?

[NSX-R-SSJ20K]

The stig was some guy called Mcgregory or something - ie some guy that no one ever heard of it was in a newspaper after they destroyed a classic car doing donuts in it. Assclowns.

I want the new season to start already
