I was thinking that the truck was shaped like the owners wife.

First ep. seemed OK. The car that did the lap pretty much smashed the then-current leader. And SIARPC had another record set. The last segment felt a little too forced though.

Really I thought the last segment was hilarious. I thought it was great Clarkson humor.

Pagani Hauyra is amazing, I think its my favorite of all super priced super cars, my favorite supercar has to go to the Ford GT though.

Yeah, flaws and all I'd want the Ford too.

I thought it was a pretty good episode. I loved the rally with Bentley Continental and Jeremy's Peel P45.

I actually like the P45, for around town it would be kinda nifty.

If I were that driver I'd have punted May out the door before halfway down the course.

A small point I'm sure you'll all be REALLY interested in. Just after Jeremy filled up the P45 with petrol, the next shot was him driving past a red brick office.....that was the Guildford one way system (on the way to the A3, where the trucks scared him).......well, I used to work in that office

Oh, and by the way, just in case it's lost in translation, a "P45" is the name of the official form you're given over here when you're fired

Thanks, that one I would not have gotten on my own. Here we still go by "pink slip" or the increasingly popular "get out before I shoot you and plant a knife on your corpse."

Thanks for the insight! I wondered why it was so funny to the audience.

Interviews also lose some of the comedy since I never know who the heck they are talking about, or even too. The part near the end I was guessing must be the UK version of Shark Tank but they called them Dragons instead of Sharks. Have to look up what that show is called.

Thanks! I thought it was just a funny take-off on the P50

Its definitely can be difficult to follow some of the jokes and phrases, but I learn lots of British from them.

I still can't pronounce Jaguar correctly though. I don't think my American tongue can handle it.

Last night's episode of the Top Gear USA was pretty good.
