Could have sworn we had a Top Gear thread, but I can't find it.


Anyway, who watches it? I've started watching it more this series. Latest episode was just plain awesome: they turned a Robin Reliant into a space shuttle. Yes. Really. Eight tonnes of rocket thrust. The largest non-commercial rocket launch ever.
It almost worked, too.

It's a UK show. Not sure if it's on in the US at all.

Technically it's a car show, but it's basically an excuse to do lots of expensive and often explosive stunts vaguely related to cars. They also review a car and interview a celebrity (who then races around their track) each episode.

Next week they're growing their own biofuel, and then testing it by racing tractors fueled by it, according to the website. Kristen Scott-Thomas is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Best Top Gear picture ever: The Stig in a tractor.



You don't have to like cars to like the show. It's bloody funny whether you like them or not.

meh...no idea about the star, but the stig in a tractor is ace. they do very little testing of cars, the one 2 weeks ago had them on a road trip and that was it.

I missed the race across Japan - it was on while I was away. Need to catch up on that. The fox hunt was great though.

this is a link for the japan one if you want it no linking to pirated content I'm afraid ~Sentynel imo its better than the fox hunt ones but the star in a reasonably priced car thing is no where near as good. no top gear on holiday! shocking :p
