For those that have never seen Top Gear.

This segment sums up the show pretty well. It's also a great testament to Toyota's quality.

If you find the one where Jeremy Clarkson attempts to destroy a Porsche 911, it not only displays how well made they are, but how much Jeremy Clarkson hates Porsches. :grin:


Probably my favorite show on television.
 
Another one.

The end of this one is the funniest part.

Here's your Porsche clip, baimun.

Last night I finished watching the 8 part youtubes of their trip through Vietnam. I had never seen that episode and I must say it's one of the most classic ever.

:baimun:
 
One of my favorite bits is when they have different celebs drive this piece of crap car around their test track.

Unfortunately, Simon Cowell has held the top spot for quite some time.


Matt Damon was on last night and despite his aggressive driving, was quite mid-pack. I think the americans should get an extra second handicap for being forced to drive a left handed stick shift. I'm ambidexterous but after years of shifting with my right hand, I don't know if I could do it without stopping to think about it.
 
Believe it or not, James Blunt was hilarious when he was on there. He made fun of himself more than people on the internet do.

Seriously, it's one of the best shows on TV. They do serious car reviews too, and some episodes aren't as good as others, but on the whole, it's a great show.
 
I dont have cable or dish, all my entertainment comes through the good folks at netflix. :biggrin:


Im going through all the Michael Palin shows, Pole To Pole, Sahara, Himalaya, Around the world in 80 days. Some of the best stuff i have watched.
 
I was in heaven when they went on their Super-Car kick.... Ferraris, Lambos, Porsche Carrera GT, Bugatti.... even the Ariel Atom (which I would LOOOOOVE to own).

Since our internet speed has improved so much lately, we tested out the Netflix On-Demand thing last night and it worked, so I think we'll probably be cancelling our satellite service soon. We've already got a Netflix account and if we can watch some of the shows we like on demand, there's really no reason for that $100/month bill.

Then watch some of their challenges like when they drive a car into a brick wall.


Seriously.


Clarkson drove a truck into a brick wall, hurt his neck and ruptured his ankle... all in the name of entertainment. :grin:

I'll have to look into that on-demand thing. I dont have the device to pipe it into my TV.
