Top Gear Repeat

Wed 14 Feb, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm 60mins
http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear

An American special as Jeremy, Richard and James try to prove that a fly-drive holiday to Florida would be more fun if you bought a car instead of renting one. Having picked up some wheels for no more than $1,000 each, the boys embark on an epic road trip to find out who got the best deal, encountering heat, flies and very angry locals along the way.

it was a great show! I loved every minute, very funny and informative too. i think its good they mix it up a bit, its great to see cars getting ragged around a track, and car reviews are very worthwhile but every now and again its good to see these little adventures the guys go on, makes for a good bit of tv if you ask me. :D

I loved it. I know they do similar challenges quite a bit but they're funny.
Quite a different take on it this time too :)

"the boys" looked scary enough to me.. .the thing that got me was the irate garage woman was pissed off at the "Nascar sucks" and "Country music is rubbish" more than the other slogans :D

Do we have any floridans on the zone who can tell us if it was real or faked?

Quality show, particularly as I have a dislike for the americans.

Them scrubbing off the writing on the cars was funny, they were proper sh!tting themselves. Watching hamster nearly drive into the crocs was also very funny. Plus the constant bashing off floppy haired mays car was funny.

The fat stig had me in stitches after they went on about all the cheese the yanks eat then out pops stigs american cousin winkeye
Think some of it was staged tbh , Petrol station looked real but the ammount of people and crew thet had with them that wouldnt have happened , Surely they would have jumped hammond and may whilst they jump started his car :wink:
Is top gear getting funnier or is it just me , Cant wait for next weeks now :cool:

I wonder how many people rang up and complained about the cow on 'the roof incident'...? It wasn't a pretty sight to see it thrown off the roof in mid reverse-turn! lol :mad:

me and the misses were pissing ourselves, one of the best top gears i've seen. the hurricane katrina bit sent chills down my spine, nasty business. some might think top gear might be simple humour but long may it last.
