So what did you think of Top Gear?
It was a good episode. Would be cool to get all three teams for a big show, England, Aussie and the States...

Few years ago Jeremy Clarkson did a "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" episode, where he compared European best cars vs American "best" cars. I would love to see Top Gear USA do the same thing, but with some real cars this time. No more "Cadillac Escalade vs Range Rover off-road" or "Dodge Ram vs Ariel Atom" or "This is a Mustang V8" (when in fact its 4.0L automatic) ...

how did i not say 302 v m3!?
But yea those are all good match ups. I think the vetter and italia would be a good match since theyre both street cars but of the highest level. Viper ACR and porsche gt3 would be a good much since theyre road legal track cars

And I'd believe Tanner being the Stig. If you see the US Stig, he's really short though. With a massive head.

Yep the E60 M5 recorded a time four seconds quicker that the CTS-V on the Nordschleife. On a 12.9 mile circuit four seconds difference isn't that much though. Put it on a smaller circuit and I bet it will be a hell of a lot closer.

I watched the Xmas edition of TG UK last night. Some amusing bits but, for the most part, just cringe-worthy.
We've just had the first series of TG USA shown over here and I have to say, studio bits excluded, I thought it was great. The unbiased attitude to the American cars was great and the locations made a pleasant change from Europe, that's for sure.
Stig/the News/studio bits have never been the best bit of TG for me. The road trips are what it's about. No need to prat around like the 3 stooges though. I'm happy to hear about great cars in great locations driven by enthusiasts!
Looking forward to the 2nd series
