Top Gear

Where's the love for Jeremy, Richard, James, and the Stig?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I don't even care for cars very much but I watch this show anyhow.

 

[Bonogirl777]

Did anyone see the season finale last night? Hilarious!

The only thing I love about this show is watching Stig, nothing sexier than a masked man with great skill.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Wow, has there really never been a Top Gear thread before? It's a damn shame.

I got into the show by watching them build seafaring cars, and that's still one of my favourite episodes. Holy god, it's brilliant.

 

[mad1]

see the caravan episode? burning it and all?

 

[Bonogirl777]

^^Both of those episodes are great!

The show that got me into it was the British Leyland one where they have to drive over a cobblestone road with eggs in a colander above their heads. I can't find a vid of it anywhere.

 

[mad1]

that you in your avatar?

 

[Bonogirl777]

Yes.

 

[mad1]

Captain Slow

And the best episode is the "turn a people mover into a convertible", closely followed by "make your own stretch limo".

 

[Bonogirl777]

I love the convertible one!! They set the car wash on fire!!

I just watched the limo one.

Thanks.

The one where they try to launch a car into outer space was epic.

My favourite one was when they buy the cheap cars in Miami and drive to New Orleans... especially the part with the painted slogans on their cars going through Alabama

I can't stand Jeremy Clarkson

I have so many newish episodes to catch up on, I wish they were all out on DVD or something, dammit.

The problem with Top Gear is that there are some episodes where they don't actually do anything that funny, and you realise you have been laughing politely at people talking about cars for a full hour. But when the show is on, it's on. I agree with BEG regarding the limo episode, that's about as fucked-upedly awesome as television gets.

 

[Bonogirl777]

I love "Hampster".

 

[Bonogirl777]

Old episode tonight.

Good that there's a Top Gear thread now... That show is great even for non car lovers. Oddly I've seen most of the shows you've mentioned. And I don't think I've seen that many, or maybe I have?

 

[coolian2]

usually love it.

saw the truck episode from the most recent season on air new zealand and nearly woke the whole damn plane up several times.

 

[Fernando-]

Hahaha, the build your own limousines is an instant classic.

I want a Saalfa Romeob.

Did anyone else get to see the Top Gear "Live" shows ?

Saw it in Sydney & it was great !

 

[Fernando-]

"Live" shows?. What was that about?.

 

[jets]

"Live" shows?. What was that about?.

Clarkson & Hamster did an Arena style version of the show, with a lot of stunt driving, The Cool Wall, a lap of the track done by the crowd (very cool), car "soccer" etc etc etc...

 

[Bonogirl777]

Cool! Haven't seen it though.

 

[coolian2]

i actually had tickets to top gear live in auckland, but the flight i mentioned above kinda stopped me from going...
