The last thread for this seems to have disappeared into the ether, so i'll start a new one.

http://www.topgear.com/uk/

New series starts today. (in about 20 minutes from this post actually) I'm out though, so I'm gonna miss it. I'll have to catch it again later.

Fuck yyyeeeeeeeeah~

MotK's favorite non-Japanese television program. I recommend Top Gear to anyone who has even the most remote interest in cars of any shape or size. Definitely the best thing to ever come out of Europe.

Oh hey, and I'm on a good connection too at the moment.

Top Gear is an ace program. But yea unfortunate, I know enough people in real life who dislike Top gear. Because they think it is just another car show.

They always compare it to those stupid old farts driving in some stupid french mountain with stupid surroundings and acting all stupid about it. Those people should get smashed off the road imo.

BBC2, last I checked.

BBC America is woefully behind on airing Top Gear seasons.

Well, BBC doesn't wanna work for me.

Ah well, I tried.

Pretty much this. I couldn't give half a damn about cars, but by all accounts Top Gear is pretty sweet nonetheless.

Fuck yeah, Top Gear!

That being said, I don't think I'll follow this season as it is released, since I still have some of the previous seasons to watch. :ohdear:

BBCA also cuts out a lot of the show so they can show shit commercials

HAHAHA OH FUCK

THE STIG LISTENS TO VUVUZELAS

Menorah Jams, Pham · « **Reply #12 on:** June 28, 2010, 02:47:45 AM »

Goddamn, I need to watch Top Gear more. If there's one thing I love as much as Touhou it's cars. That full speed test they did of the Veyron on Bugatti's straight-line track (basically a 747-capable runway) was a-freaking-mazing.

Edible · « **Reply #13 on:** June 28, 2010, 03:15:48 AM »

I nearly wet myself watching the Reliant segment. Holy christ, that's Top Gear at its finest.

Great to see another season.

QFT

I've never laughed so hard at an episode of top gear ever. That was absolutely brilliant. I might watch it again later just for that bit.

Doomsday · « **Reply #15 on:** June 28, 2010, 09:57:43 PM »

Yeah, Definately a great opening Episode. I laughed-out-loud at the Vuvuzela's on the radio, and the Reliant Robin bit, of course.

I guess that gag with the Reliant flipping over came from this

ebarrett · « **Reply #17 on:** June 29, 2010, 05:21:10 PM »

It is also on BBC International, or at least it was back when I could get off the bed early in the morning on weekends.

I can't wait until this comes back to OnDemand

Doomsday · « **Reply #19 on:** July 04, 2010, 08:40:13 PM »

Episode 2 finished airing not long back. Missed it again, so I'll catch it on my on-demand service in a couple of hours.

Kinzo the Astro Curious · « **Reply #20 on:** July 05, 2010, 03:08:07 PM »

You know I think they should just ditch the part about sportscars now tbh and concentrate on the challenges. Its getting a little dry to me.

PORSCHE. FAST. LOOK IT TURNS CORNERS. IT GOES SIDEWAYS.

but im not discrediting the program, the challenge was neat.

Spoiler:

dustyjo · « **Reply #21 on:** July 07, 2010, 11:49:20 AM »

James' Lap

Jeremy's Lap

Richard's "Lap"

god damnit james I could do better than that

Edible · « **Reply #22 on:** July 07, 2010, 02:24:12 PM »

Episode 1 was better, but I love me some cheap car challenges.

Rin Kagamine · « **Reply #23 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:11:16 PM »

99% sure German Stig was Sabine Schmitz

Momiji · « **Reply #24 on:** July 08, 2010, 05:09:24 AM »

The funniest moment I think I've ever had watching a TV show was the Police Car Challenge (Part 1, Part 2), and Jeremy puts spikes on the wheels of his car (Part 2, 6:00). The front wheels get so out of balance that one breaks off and shoots right past Richard, James, and camera crew. I nearly broke ribs I laughed so hard.

Kinzo the Astro Curious · « **Reply #25 on:** July 10, 2010, 01:07:09 PM »

Agreed there, brilliant episode. Gotta love top gears "do it first, get whinged at by health and safety later" attitude.

Doomsday · « **Reply #26 on:** July 11, 2010, 10:46:59 PM »

Episode 3 Aired Today. Gonna watch it in a minute.

Edible · « **Reply #27 on:** July 12, 2010, 03:35:16 AM »

Watched it. Wedding segment was kind of bleh, everything else was quality. I honestly skipped the bit with the F1 driver, though.
