Top gear is one reason I pay for cable. On a recent episode Clarkson drove a 3 wheel car just a few miles. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. It was funnier than ANYTHING else on regular TV.

Great profile on the show.

You are doing yourself a disservice if you are only watching it on BBC america and not downloading the full, un-edited versions on the Internet

"He was operating at the limit of his capacity counting backwards from 10" in reference to the Albama guy in the pickup truck.

Yes. That was great, especially the scenes where he enters an otherwise tranquil scene in the same roll-over mode.

Reliant Robin which, as I recall, is the same vehicle used in their partly successful attempt at building a recoverable space shuttle:



I challenge the US version of TG to replicate this. Like Porsche, there is no substitute.
