    Finally... Top Gear comes to the US

    I don't know how many of you already know this, or if it's a repost (I didn't see anything), but Top Gear is now on the Discovery Channel.

    It's on Wednesday nights at 10pm. It's only been on for a week now, and they're starting the series here at the beginning of the 2004 season in the UK. They show reruns a few days or so after, we just watched the episode with the Koenigsegg, and an attack helicopter trying to get missle lock on a Lotus Exige.

    I'm so stoked about this show finally coming to the US. I am so sick of all those crap shows like Motor Trend and Car & Driver, where all they do is drive the car kinda fast around a track, and don't really drive them at the limit. Jeremy, The Stig, and the rest of his boys are going to show the pansy-assed US-of-A how you really test drive a car.

            I've had Speed for over 2 years, and I've never seen it on there. I know that Fifth Gear is on there, but it's not anywhere near as good as Top Gear.

                    Top Gear used to be hosted by Tiff Needell and Jeremy Clarkson. When Jeremy left Fifth Gear, he did a show on his own for a while, while Tiff continued to host Top Gear. Then Tiff got a co-host, that hot-ass blonde chick, and changed the name of the show to Fifth Gear. Jeremy Clarkson changed the name of his show back to Top Gear, and hosts it with 2 other guys, and The Stig.

                              Did everybody watch last night? You can bet your ass I did. Hell, I was thinking about it all day. It was so awesome to actually be watching Top Gear on my TV with my new sound system, than on my computer monitor.
