Anyone watch the TV show Top Gear? Its a British show, which they test only the world fastest cars and beat the hell out of them. Ferrari's, porsches, etc

Heres a link to the website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/
Theres a new one on tonight on the BBC channel (221 in San Diego), if you like cars this is not to miss.

Yup - watching the new series on BBC America. Jeremy Clarkson is truly an insult to being British but its fine 4 wheeled entertainment.

I've only seen this show a few times, but a couple weeks ago, they had a downhill mountain biker (some Brit) raced a Peugot down the winding streets of some little town in Portugal.

The biker kicked the driver's ass...

Check out the one on the Bugatti Veyron. The car can only run for 8 mins or something wide open.

Still like the one of the Mitsubishi Evo against a Gallardo. Great show

Nice, I knew there would be fellow viewers here. I still like the Enzo episode, that car is just gorgeous. Stayed home because I was sick today and pretty much watched it all day, not a bad day I'd say!

oh hell yeah! one of my favorite things to watch online. did anyone see where the co-host Richard Hammond ate shit trying to break a land speed record? truly remarkable that man survived.

off topic but found a cool clip of a downhill competition called the Red Bull Goldmine (i typed Gee Atherton into youtube). Cool 5 min clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D1Ql3hWVNc
