Why isn't there a Top Gear thread here yet?

Anyone else excited for season 11? It's only going to be six episodes, but thats still six episodes better than any other show. Season 10 was amazing, the polar expedition was maybe the best hour of made for TV film i've ever seen.

This is one of those shows that seriously, when I hear its coming back my heart starts beating just a little faster. It's so over the top, its amazing how they can continously top themselves, the humor is wonderful as is the bickering of the 3 hosts.

It's amazing how good a car show can be, if you can call it that. I don't know anyone who's watched it and not liked it.

I dunno, Adam Carolla is pretty funny, and they got a real drive on the show too.

Damn you british humor, you can weed out those without common sense and quick wit.

I love it.

I was just thinking about it, personal opinion and all, but I bet Jay Leno would make a great driver for this show. The man knows his cars.

Brucey · 06-22-2008, 01:59 PM

Jay Leno would be better than adam corolla

American Top Gear FTL. It's not about cars, it's about Clarkson Hammond and May.

I completely agree the polar expedition ranks on the top things ever put on TV.

That episode was awesome, james paint gun would have worked if not for it being so thin. He needed to shoot like oil out.

okay seriously... look at the screen grab.

TopGear UK is probably the most consistently entertaining show ever. I've watched every episode of every season at least twice..

there is no way Top gear US is going to be anywhere near as good especially when the center redneck has a mullet.
