[mtechnik]

one good thing about being in Iraq, is that satellite gets top gear, its hard to catch because of work but when its on in the D-fac i go ape and of course people look at me like im stupid....

It's quite unique hearding from someone in Iraq. You're brave for serving. :up:

After watching it for so long American car review shows make me wanna puke.

What about MOTORWEEK?. I used to love to watch the show for years on PBS.

Yeah I downloaded it and watched it last night. I LOVE Top Gear.

After watching it for so long American car review shows make me wanna puke. I swear, as long as the car didn't come from America, EVERYONE will love it on the show. Its so stupid, at least Jeremy will bash on the cars for some reason, or at least bring up the practicality of the car etc... I love how Jeremy can take a car like an SLR or something, and just knock it down and say its a total piece of crap, thats something you will never see in the states. Oh and also like the Boxter, that car is worthless, yet every show in the US will rave about how amazing and new it is.

I don't believe any US shows I see. They will hype up how good a car handles or something. But always in the back of my head I really doubt any chuckle head on these shows could tell the difference between a 1995 dodge caravan and a new lotus or something.

If there is any car reviewer I hate its Dennis Gage. I was flipping through the channels last night and I saw him oogling over a SLR. He sounded like a damn ricer, whenever someone would mention carbon fiber he would get all giddy like someone just jacked him in the ass. Not to mention just watching him butcher every word trying to talk about the car like he knew anything. I hate that man so much. Maybe because he reminds me of a kid I used to go to school with that I just wanted to beat the crap out of every day just for existing, I can't explain what or why I hate these kind of people, its just the kind you cannot stand for no reason at all.

/end rant ;)

lol, kinda. One of my fellow E30ers/freinds works at a Restaurant that has an awesome wine selection, and the owner left 1/3 of a bottle of his own for my friend to have, and I got some of the joy:D

He did both runs required for setting the record successfully,,, but decided to do just one more run to enoy himself. Right front tire blew and wham bam.
I'll have to watch my tape again to check on the name of the car.

so what are the details of the accident? What car was he driving? on the test track?

[mtechnik]

@JDMPower- I would so totally e-mail them too. Like lat year BBC (england) started aring the sitcom "My Wife & Kids" and dropped it, I still can't imagine the show got poor ratings over in England. I e-mailed them so sure and got a lame reply that they'd consider bringin it back,:roll: . Was my only way to see the show on tv.


@ SchenellerVert -- Yeah it's sooo dumb of them. BBC America is afterall BBC..... they don't even have to look into commercials etc cause there are none during the show. They're prolly thinking that eventually American viewers would want reviews of domestic U.S cars. but they don't have to cause. Intl viewers love the show cause it is different.

-The crash footage was amazing! The speed it all happened was really shocking.

-Clarkson's comment "I could have help that" Made me lol so hard! :D

Yeah!!!! 0.4 seconds from the right tire blowing to the accident happening!!
