Default Top Gear..

Did anyone see last nights Top Gear? I was very suprised with the antics of those rednecks! I didnt realise they were that violent!! My mate i was watching it with said theyre known for it down in the southern states.

Funny episode anyway!

I was on the edge of my seat when they went to do a rapid getaway and the caddy had to get a jump start.
The new top gear programme is 100% better than the old ones.

Yeah, it was a very good show last night.

It makes you proud NOT to be American, but I guess they were provoked......LOL

Very true they were provoked.
I'm sure if i drove around london with nasty things about England painted on my car i'm pretty sure i'd be bricked and beaten up by thugs.
Still it was very funny to watch.

Bloody great programme, politically uncorrect at times but mostly the better for it, only goes to show what the underbelly of the USA is really like....................shoot first, as questions later

Don't think any of them will be getting the key's to the city anytime soon

Re: the stunt.......I was slightly shocked, they didn't really think that one through did they....or perhaps they did?

I read the write-up beforehand and thought that it was going to be a pretty crappy episode. But it had me laughing through most of it.

I loved that BBQ on the back of the pickup. I'm thinking I should get something similar for the Landcruiser.

Nope, or his camera crew !

LOL

I wonder if they will get many complaints from the animal rights groups about the 'road kill'


But funniest bit for me had to be seeing Hammond driving along with 'Man Love' painted down the side of his pickup...PMSL
