Hilarious episode with a lot of laughs, very few visibly scripted jokes.

Boring star segment

Yeah... they seriously need to get some better stars. I mean, the USA is full of internationally known stars, and who do they get on Top Gear? Some lady who was in 3 episodes of Torchwood!? I mean seriously...

In all honesty, i would just ditch the star segment and do another challenge for the first few seasons until it becomes popular enough to get valid stars who people actually know/care about.

With their 48minute episodes the star part takes up way too much time and i just skip it (even the uk one most of the time)

Apparnetly hte Australian version also started last night or something but who even watches that cr4p.
Mightycarmods is much more entertaining.

Do you watch Top Gear for the celebrities? That's like getting Playboy for the articles.

I forgot it was on and randomly flicked over & caught a segment the recycled from the English version, using a V8 to power things. Not funny, not original bit **** really.

Ok, I will admit that I watched it last night to see if it was really any different. Unfortunately it was not. Rather than craft soemething that is unique but along the lines of the original, it ended up being a bit of a giggle session.

Now next week they are supposed to be testing the Amarok, and from the teaser given, they thrashed it somewhat. So, if someone offers you a really cheap Amarok, it might just be the one tested on TG-A.

It is almost as though they cannot find a car manufacturer willing to supply a vehicle for testing as with the first series, they damaged the vehicles that were supplied. As a result, they try and dream up rubbish. I mean, they used an old Falcon ute for Andy (Hamish and Andy) to do his celebrity lap.

I might watch it next week to see how the Amarok went, but will record it and FFW to the test and then skip the rest.

Watched the latest Top Gear USA (ep 7). Finally a great celebrity
The rest of the "Beat Tanner" episode was good too

[Cookie28]

episode 7 is pretty good and my dads lucky enough to have driven that EXACT LFA, he said it was pretty good but there was no way he'd ever spend that much money (even if he could afford it) on a toyota... no matter how good it is... ill see if i can find the pictures he sent me of it
