A New TV Show Favorite: Top Gear
Hi,
Other than my favorite online shows (e.g Diggnation, Hak5, and the CNET podcasts), I occasionally like to watch TV shows. Since I am currently on vacation in England, I have found a new favorite: Top Gear.
A show produced by the BBC network, Top Gear is a car show with a twist. Unlike other car shows that usually just go on and on and on about cars and their parts, Top Gear test drives new and old cars by putting them to the ultimate test. Now when I say ultimate test, usually people would think that they will just drive around a race track. That is where your wrong. Top Gear takes the selected car as the underdog and put it up against huge and powerful machines. In one episode, they take a Bugatti Veyron and raced it against a Euro Fighter plane, and in another they take a Land Rover against a tank! Usually you would think that the bigger machines would win, but in some episodes, you can be mistaken. Now other than the racing, there is a lot of comedy in this show coming from the 3 hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammonds, and James May. They like to act childish and insult each other and giving each other a hard time, but in the end everyone is happy.
So if anyone who would take interest in this kind of stuff, go ahead and check it out. If you live in Britain, watch it on TV. But if you live in the US, don't worry, they have a Youtube Channel. Overall, it has become one of my favorite TV Shows and I hope no one cancels it!
Cheers,

were abouts in the uk are u staying?
also i doubt top gear will be canceled as it has been running for some time now and dosnt show any signs of stopping. by the way are u watching it on a channel called 'dave'?
I cannot tell you the part of the UK that I am staying due to security reasons. And no I don't watch it on 'Dave' but on the BBC Network. But most of the time I watch online.
I think Top Gear is a great show as well. I find that it appeals to people who aren't even interested in cars!
I watch Top Gear every sunday night here in the UK, its a great show.
Ah, yes, Dave. The channel which only shows Top Gear, and then some. (Well, not literally, but even Clarkson has mentioned it on the show!)
