Just back to back reruns of the Americanized version Discovery showed last year, not that that is bad. Discovery made a pilot of Top Gear with three Americans in place of the Brits. I wish they would just stick with the British version.
I guess I will take the reruns over nothing at all. But it sure would be nice to get reviews of new cars.
will they have any new episodes this year? I would love it if I could at least buy some DVDs of the british show online and have them sent to me.
Here is a link with some info. I would like to see the brits continue, but I'm with Dell, I'll take anything. -Darren
It won�t be the same without Jeremy, but it is better than nothing. What is it about British car shows? They are just so good
I also favor keeping the British version; the Brit flavor is part of the fun for us Americans. I think they believe we're put off by talk of pounds sterling and that sort of thing, and feel the need to Americanize the show. I'm not sure that's true, though.
Thanks for the link Darren. Damn! I actually would prefer the UK version. It's like a good slice of humble pie to see how the RoW perceives us. I watched an episode of 5th gear last night (review of the Hummer H2) and was reminded just what the RoW thinks of us. The H2 is only in the US (yes you could import it if you are outside the US but just no dealers) becasue of our................. Well I am sure most of y'all could fill in the the rest of the sentence. I'll give you a hint: OIL.
I watched that episode last night also... they are great shows, and I wish they wouldn't change them. The America bashing is half the fun of them. We all need to send an email to discovery asking for the UK version.
There's another Darren?? He even spells it correctly!
Being British (living in New Zealand) I have to agree that top gear is a great program. Try viewing their website and emailing them, they are good at responding. I am sure they will be able to send copies of the programs. They also have a mag out now but it's not that good. Talking of mags anyone know of any mags other than total 911 and GT purley Porsche that's dedicated just to the marque. Another good car mag is EVO.
