Any Top Gear Fans?!
 
For those who don't know, Top Gear is a very entertaining and enlightening car show. In my personal life outside of my immediate car enthusiast friends, not a lot of people know the wonders that this show has to offer! If you still don't know what it is, here is a link:

This is just the American version, it was originally adapted from a UK series. The UK series is also hilarious and has a bit more witty humor, where as the US version has a little more physical humor. I love them both, but the UK series has many cars that are not offered in the United States, which makes it a little less relevant to myself. One of my favorite parts of the show is the introduction of The Stig. He is a professional driver, and it's just hilarious all together. Here are some of his introductions.

Some Say The Stig...

Anyways, just let me know what you guys think! Curious to see what other people like/dislike about it ;)

I've been watching the UK Top Gear for years - best show on TV. The American version can't even compare to the original.

I love the honesty of the British version, if Jeremy doesn't like something he will let you know!

Ya the chemistry between the three is hilarious!

I dont get bbc america or anything here, I've watched top gear uk on youtube and so on for years, mainly just their challenges. The american one is good enough to watch and the 2nd season was better than the first, but it seems a little to scripted. 2nd season wasn't as bad as the first, hopefully it'll get better.

I hope so as well! It's good to keep in mind just how young the American one is, which is impressive on it's own if you ask me :thumbsup:
