jeremy clarkson's is my true hero. Well - he did not like the BMW 3 series. But dosent matter.
And if US think it´s not ok and ruin it. You can still buy the whole series on DVD in Europe + the movie speciels.
I think its the only thing i watch regular on TV. And the adault channel of course.

no need to buy the DVD, you can download it from finalgear.com
Clarkson does hate BMWs in general, but everytime he drove the ///M cars (M5, M3) the precision engineering and handling, the whole driving experience just amuse him every single time!

I have a bad feeling that this show (like many remakes) is going to be really lame.

Chunga · 01-20-2008, 02:06 PM

There can only be one Stig.

Ummm...no....haven't you watched the show?

Its all about the money. So you can be safe. The US top gear will be 60 min comercial. Otherwise the manufacturs will redraw their cars from the show.
Your channel need the moeny - the English did not. Thats the diff
So it will be a range of some us cars and some world cars. And non us cars will get kicked for real.
We are looking forward to se it over here to.
If Leno have to be positive is also a matter of sponsors and cashflow.

Let's not forget one of the true motives for this...the writer's strike. Anything the networks can do that does not require a new script.

It still take time for casting and production, and afterall there will be some concept (script) for what kind of car they will presenting, and also for "the news"....
They will need to also test drive first and jot down their thoughts and then present it....

If hollywood studios need some quick solutions....just purchase the BBC2 Top Gear...
