I didnt know americans take comments like "Nascar sucks" and "Country and western is rubbish" so close to heart that they would kill. Imagin if the Uk got like that god forbid. It was funny seeing Clarkson leggit while May's Chevroly had to be jumped started again lol.
Yeh watch the repeat tuesday or this saterday on bbc3. You wont be dissapointed.

yes they did a few **** ups in past series and have started to create some "errors".
Its watchable, but its not what it was in 2005! Where are the car tests? Where are the tests applicable to the real man? I dont care about bentleys etc. nice to see from time to time but its not what it should be imho.

To be honest, i'd never believe what those guys say when they test a car. I would go and test drive one myself.
I think top gear has come on in leaps and bounds over the past few years. So what if they wanted to do an 'American road trip' episode? Bloody good idea I thought.
Its a motoring programme that is more 'entertaining', than 'informative'.

its my fave programme, they have to do more stuuf like the trips as they can't do a report on a nmew car every week as it would be boring and become more like the new 5th gear, it combines the knowledge of cars with lads messing around in cars etc, i think its brilliant!

Yeah, I seen it.
I was in stitches nearly all the way through, they were s*@%ing themselves!!! Especially when the Cadillac wouldn't start at the garage!!!!!
One of the best so far I reckon!!!

I found it funny but disappointing to be honest. They were just repeating a challenge they did in the past but in the USA and with cars that were not that great. To me it had the feeling of a dvd release rather than a normal episode.
I'm not sure how good an idea some of the tasks were either, I can see quite a few complaints coming their way.
Do you think the audience would have been the same one from another show?

i thought it was fantastic, much better than watching a suzuki micro nat or peugeot / renault shopping trolley being driven round suburban roundabouts!
Was a good change, especially getting the cow off the roof and clarksons shower
As for testing cars, I'd rather see the kinda cars being tested against each other that I'll never own! If I want to test drive a focus, I'll pop down ford and get one for a few days! At the end of the day their views are all their own and from people that own sl mercs etc! Is that something you would believe or take with a pinch of salt!?????

thought it was funny in parts but not what i was hoping for ! america is a backwater for performance ! and i prefer the usual stuff to be honest.

The do-gooders complained about Hammond crashing the Jet-car, what the hell will they say about the Cow!!!!
Staged but very original & funny, glad they still have the ***** to show it after the complaints they had in the past.

Yeh the whole episode from the start was just a comedy show.
I didnt know americans take comments like "Nascar sucks" and "Country and western is rubbish" so close to heart that they would kill. Imagin if the Uk got like that god forbid. It was funny seeing Clarkson leggit while May's Chevroly had to be jumped started again lol.
Yeh watch the repeat tuesday or this saterday on bbc3. You wont be dissapointed.

Totally agree with this. Parts of it are now so obviously staged, but its extremley funny none the less. I think it also speaks volumes about the show that I can watch it with all the family and everyone enjoys it.

Top Gear is outstanding entertainment. If you want to learn about a car for a purchase read about it on the net, ask questions on the relevant forum and drive it. If you want light relief on a sunday evening before the monotony of the week the next day then watch Top Gear

i feel they`re making the most of footage shot pre hammond crash, they need to fill a series, i think credit where its due, it was a refreshing change and the whole family enjoyed it.

Jubhi "It was funny but not what I watch Top Gear for, think they are seriously missing the point of the programme at times."
Don't you think they used this to give Hamster a week off ? Look out for more of the same interspersed with the series. He isn't superman you know !

Feckin chased off by Rednecks!.........
That has to be one of the best and funniest TG's ever, I don't remember laughing so much as I did watching Brokeback, Captain Slow and the murderer's muscle car inch their way across the Southern states WITHOUT AIRCON .... FPMSL just thinking about the cow scene, the 'incar' shower scene and the infamous Redneck garage....
I'm waiting for American Roadtrip 2 - The Return.....

It was just really good fun, silly television, bit of escapism and a million miles away from the William Woolard era where the car was an angel of death and Tony Mason went on about old buses.
