Default Who watches Top Gear?

Tonight I saw one episode that made me absoluytely sick. The race car driver was in a military tank, learning to drive it.

They had a beautiful 1979 Guards Red Porsche 928 parked broadside. He totally crushed it with the tank.

I used to have a Black 1986.5 928. I was horrified the way they destroyed that classic 928.

Also saw them run a brand new Porsche Carrea GT against the newest AMG Gull Wing.

Yes, they seem to have an unlimited supply of money and exotic cars.

US version....blah...

The original UK version is the only one I watch. Before the show, I was all into the magazine.

I get a British Channel on our Comcast cable channels. Last night they had a Mini, a v12 Jag XJS and a older Rolls Royce in one of their segments going to the richest section of India to have a TATA party to celebrate Tata Motors/Land Rover takeover.

Also raced some them across the open desert to avoid officials in different countires.

Those dudes are whack.

I don't watch the US version. But I do watch the UK version. Unfortunately I have to look it up on the web because no provider in my area has access to BBC UK.

My favourite episodes are the ones with challenges lasting the whole show, like the bolivian special.

Vietnam special was by far the best!

I love the UK version... the us version is so-so. You can net-flix the UK series starting with 2004 season up to 2011 season.
