That was the cheasiest episode of Top Gear ever. And why weren't they using HD cameras? I've got calculators with better resolution.

I found it more entertaining that any episode of TG USA I've seen so far. At least they actually tested some new cars.

I liked the Alaska Trip the best (last episode in season 1).

I'm trying to think what I was doing in '85, and I think I was in 6th grade. Ugh, Mustangs were ugly as hell back then.
