The whole family watches. We laugh our asses off.
We need an american version with a combination of new and old cars.
Supposed to be happening with Adam Carolla as host but network backed out.

I love it when I can see it, but we have the super cheap cable - so I don't see it often.

Yes, one of my favorite shows and my wife watches it also. I can only hope they never do an american version. I think part of the humor is the brittish take on things like making fun of Americans.

I think Carkson is an ASS. Ive had numerous british built stuff so he cant BS me. He just thinks his opinion is the only correct one. If he didnt have the accent, I would figured he was from, philley, NJ, or NY.

I enjoy it because those guys are funny.

What I don't like is their bias against American cars. When a Z06 flogs the piss out of anything remotely NEAR it's pricerange on their list of "track times" all of a sudden, track times are not important. So I take that part with a grain of salt - it's British snobbery at it's finest. We kicked their ass once and would do it again, so - I watch it for the entertainment value. I wouldn't purchase a car based on their crap though. I still think most of their problems with the Ford GT were bogus. I have a couple friends with them - ZERO complaints or problems.

If he acted like a fruit would it mean he might be from the west side of the ole miss. One of Jeremy Clarkson's personal cars is a Ford GT. Your comment is RUBBISH! Might be an ass but, he's a funny ass. My favorite is The Stig. America couldn't do a show like this, I think this web site is as close as we can come.

Re: Who watches Top Gear on BBC?

Clarkson actually pronounced the new ZR1 as the best car of the year ... it was a shock to him too. They air Top Gear on BBC Canada, but I don't have that channel in my dish package. He also does a column for the weekly newspaper auto section here in Toronto, it's usually pretty funny too.

Re: Who watches Top Gear on BBC?

One of the greatest car shows ever. I watch it whenever I can, even the re-runs I've seen 3 or 4 times.

Same as a lot of others, my wife actually enjoys watching it also.
