I've lost a bit of structural rigidity.....(as the whole body falls off)

I am so glad they cancelled the US top gear...they should just show the un cut brit version.

The British Leland (sp?) was damn funny as well. Filling the car up with water, brilliant! Honestly, who thinks of these things?

Yep, I have the Tivo set up to record it, on Monday nights. Are they new episodes on BBC America?

I have the show scheduled on my DVR and look forward to watching them each time I am home from the field. The British Leland was very good but I like them all. The race to the north pole was a great special to watch...the bumper dumper lol.

You mean thoughts like this don't run through your head? I thought everyone was like this...

When Hammond's RV started falling apart I laughed so hard I cried. There is something magical about Top Gear. My wife and 14 year old daughter who don't care much about cars, won't miss an episode. Funny stuff.

The gardening episode is funny as well. Richard Hammond toppling over in the digger is a riot, but the sheer torture to James' shed had me crying....

He used the word pillock at least twice....

Yes, even the wifey was laughing at that one - when the door of the rover came off - brilliant!

"Fat Stig" (American Stig) and "African Stig".
Watching the Stig race tractors around the track and slide off the seat.

It's a brilliant show - watch it with my son all the time.

i just don't see why they don't pick it up on a US network ..the brit version, it is a WORLD show...it just would not fail here, there are so many people that download it it is amazing (it is the MOST downloaded show in the world) you don't need to like cars to love the show..it is pure entertainment as it should be
