[UK] Top Gear

Kasonic · 08-22-2006, 07:27 AM

Anyone else catch this? I don't really watch a lot of TV at all, but I've been scouring YouTube for the last two weeks or so for any clips I can find of this.

I'm not a huge gearhead, but I like to look at pretty cars and see them go fast. The fact that the hosts and some of the little challenges they hold are pretty hilarious helps as well. Does this air in the US?

Here's a few of the better ones:
Bugatti Veyron vs. Cessna
Amphibious Car Challenge
1000-Pound Van Challenge
Saab vs. A Harrier (Part 2)

There was one not posted too long ago in the video thread, the guy was trying to destroy his toyota truck. Was probably some of the most entertaining TV I've seen in a long time.

Top Gear is incredible. It's clear that those guys have the best job in the world.

Seriously. For work they raced to Switzerland to go skiing, one in a Ferrari and the other by train.

Fucking awesome.

As was mentioned above, the best clip they did was of the Toyota Hilux.

And then my personal favorite is of the Porsche Carrera GT.

The one they did with the Exige was kinda stupid.

"Yeah, the Exige is so fast that an Apache can't get a lock on it! Nevermind that it's mostly carbon fibre and plastic, or that we confined the Apache to having to fly 10 feet off the ground and within the track, instead of just pulling back a mile and owning the shit out of it."

This is on regularly in Australia, regularly has me in tears laughing. The way they talk is just so .... British. Don't mention the War, don't mention the War!!

Dang I hope he pulls through, he was awesome on Brainiac and Top Gear won't be the same without him.

Lucane Darkseraphim · 09-20-2006, 07:56 PM

They were bound to one day wreck a very expensive car.

Overturning at 280mph in a car with no roof, with an airlift to hospital says otherwise..

Here is a better video of the Bugatti Veyron.

253 mph or 1 football field per second.

Insane.

the newest season (season 9) is fucking hilarious download them all off a torrent site now.

The limosine and car space shuttle segments are priceless.

The one where they goto the US and see if they can buy a car cheaper than renting it to drive from Florida to New Orleans is $$$$$$$$$$$
