I didn't even bother with the American version because it just looked like a travesty.

I was pretty frustrated with the whole thing until they had the truck episode in Alaska. That one was TG worthy. I'm hoping if they keep the same group that they'll mesh better over time and the producers will do something besides cheaply playing off stereotypes.

I gave Top Gear America the good old college try and watched the first two episodes.

It was like the writers just stole scripts from Top Gear UK and changed the names.

Don't fire up those DVRs just yet. It will be airing in the UK starting the 26th only way to watch it here then is going to be via torrent. I believe BBC America is still at least a season behind.


Oh and also

That's my preferred way of enjoying the show. Usually the same night if not the next day.

Is it me or is Top Gear one of the best shows EVER...and quite possibly one of the best shows to ever come out of the UK? Oh and Top Gear America was TERRIBLE.
