QUOTE('Andy Wilman @ executive producer of Top Gear')
Most exciting for me is that we’ve finally come up with another big race - you know, car versus something or other.

The last time we did one was a couple of years ago, with the plane against the Veyron, and in hindsight we lost the plot in that one - too pompous, too overblown and preposterous, too much work on the scripting to make it funny. This one is back to basics, more hardcore, mega car, mega opponent, with a solid premise. And a clue for the geeks: we did it in Japan.


I for one hope so biggrin.gif.

Oh so you like the drama and pantomime side of Top Gear, I'm completely the opposite and prefer the actual reviews.

I would have to agree... I liked the USA one also.

Clarkson makes the show... He does not care how much hp it loses in the driveline or how the DSG gearbox works... all he cares about is that the engine sounds like a spitfire, there is some bloody squeek in the dash that he cant find and you can't see sh1t from the rear view mirror

German .. Japanese. They kinda sound the same?

as much as most of the technical stuff is brshed over, Top Gear tries to show you what its like to OWN a car, not drive a car

almost every segment has

plus, its a light-hearted comedy, not a searious car show

want a serious show? try "the car show" on channel 9 on the weekends. very informative, and boring as batshit to go with it
