If you get a chance, try to find this show if its now shown on your Cable line-up. Look around on the net for episodes if you have to, because this show is just amazing. Yes, it's a car show, but one that even my wife loves to watch and we both laugh through it. You really got to give them credit, for making a CAR SHOW appeal to both motorheads as well as their wives/girlfriends, and to throw so much humour in each episode is quite incredible too. The recent special when they went to Miami and bought 3 cars for under $1,000 each and drove it across 4 states is a gem. At times, it even had a documentary / Borat-style mockumentary feel to it, exposing many elements of society of the deep south of the US of A.

Highly Recommended Viewing. A+++

"Top Gear" review

Posted : 1 year, 5 months ago on 11 February 2007 05:42 (A review of "Top Gear")

I think that Top Gear has the potential to be a really amazing show. I watch it from time to time despite not having the slightest interest in cars, yet it still holds my attention. The only negative aspect of the programme is the continued presence of Jeremy Clarkson and his ceaseless list of stereotypes and cliches.

Losing Clarkson and his predictable tripe and replacing him with a more charismatic presenter would do the trick I think. On what other show can you see cars being struck by lightning, or outrunning apache helicopters and Challenger II tanks?
