So who here is a Top Gear fan? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I absolutely love this show. Clarkson is hilarious. He states his opinions so bluntly, and they're usually spot on. I wish we could get shows like this over here in the States. For those of you who have no idea what Top Gear is, it's a weekly (or so) car show in the UK on BBC. They do crazy stuff like launch cars off of cliffs, race Trains vs. Aston Martins, drive 800 miles on one tank of gas, and most importantly, test the newest and coolest cars on their track.

http://gear.viper007bond.com/downloads.php is the best site I've found for Top Gear downloads. I'd HIGHLY reccomend everyone check it out, it's worth the download times. If anyone knows where I can find any episodes not on that site, please let me know. I can't get enough of this show.

clarkson fuckin sucks, he has no balls compare to Tiff. Tiff actually drives the cars to their limit.

haven't seen Tiff...is he on 5th Gear? from everything I've heard, Top Gear is better, but I'll probably check it out sometime. I just think Clarkson is so damn funny. Richard is too. Anyways, they just do crazy stuff that you can't help but laugh at, i.e. attempting to jump 5 caravans with a Volvo station wagon with every intention of destroying both vehicles. Now try and tell me that's not just plain awesome.

Its plain stupid if you want an objective review. Clarksons prejudices taint his reviews soo often that sometimes I forget to laugh at how poorly he can pilot a car around the track. Tiff atleast could be caught racing a ferrari cup car or lamenting about his days in le mans.

Top Gear is nice if you want to see some fancy cars, but its usefullness ends at that point.

I would watch TG more if I could just download the stig test drives.

And wtf is up with the stig anway....silly that you can't identify the driver.

you're missing the whole point of the show. of course it's biased...they don't try to hide that. if you want to know what car is better, go test drive it. i watch it purely for entertainment value.
