Greetings petrolheads!
I made this thread to see if anyone else wanted to talk about Top Gear (Especially the BBC/UK show), it is very popular.
We can talk about great men like Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May, and the Stig, and of course cars and episodes.
And on that Bombshell, we begin.
Edit: Added a poll.

I think the world would be a better place if we all acted a bit more like Jeremy.

I really liked this show. I downloaded the 16th season on my iPad and watched it whenever I was bored. I think its on Netflix, isn't it? I really haven't got around to watching it. I probably should, it was a lot of fun.

Yes, because all you need is a hammer, and Speed and Power fix everything.

I'm disappointed Hammond didn't loudly say all of it on television.

Powerslide and the Peel P50 skit (my favorite, esp. @07:17).

I may disagree with Clarkson's assessments sometimes, but he's damn funny.

"Damn it Myrtle, I can't figure out a way to make this wheel square. I got me square dials, I got me a square dash, I got me a square body - but the wheel, it's circular! Ruins the whole car!" - Jeremy Clarkson on American cars of the 1970's

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
