Any Top Gear Fans? (On Topic)

I actually found that kind of funny.

Like look at it from our POV. As a country we're very xenophobic. They're the same way. Just with Euro cars

Agreed but the show was definitely made for a British audience. Which is understandable and I didn't object to except when the comparisons were unfair.

The Stig was entertaining, such as the race across London, where he had no clue about Public Transport.
The Car vs the Bullet train in Japan was a good one, Richard and James trying to figure out the signs they could not translate.

I loved the Search for the source of the Nile

I didn't like the shift to mostly all supercars normal people would never drive. They were at their best doing things like the road trip to India or driving London taxis. Weird stuff that played to their strengths.

Hammond would like some American cars but Clarkson hates everything that isn't British..

One of Clarkson's all time favorite cars was a mid-80's Jeep Cherokee.

The controversy Jeremy caused as well.
The North Pole trip for one, him and James were drinking Adult Beverages, and the backlash of them drinking and driving.
I remember Jeremy saying they were not driving on Public roads, they were driving on frozen water.
Quite a discussion, as I remember.

I liked Clarkson because he appeared normal but was totally bat squat crazy.

My son graduated from Clarkson with his MBA.

It was a clever play on words.

It was not a very clever play on words.

Fixed.

Every review I have seen agrees with you. Time to end it because with the new hosts its not worth watching.

Much like The Man Show after Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla left.

I think I'd make a great host for the show.

Love this episode. Looks like something I'd try.

Oh who am I kidding? They all do.

They almost got their butts kicked by those rednecks.
