Top Gear (usa Trip)

[Mat-Moo]

I wonder who's bright idea it was to vandalise the cars and eat road killl... And if they still have a job! I did laugh my arse of though

[Guest tom2b]

Im sure the program will spark some controversy...........

 

BUT it was the funniest episode i have ever seen and i laughed so hard it hurt all the way through!

I really thought they were going to get lynched in yeokal town though!

[Guest paulh]

Just been discussing this with mates this morning. Very far fetched in parts, and i'm guessing it was over dramatised a little, but god i was crying with laughter, it was SO funny it hurt!

[Guest stu205]

I watched it with my mate who drove up the PCH in a caddy he thought it was great to reminiss! but like Tom says no doubt they will get complaints

[Guest stevec]

I cant believe they got out of that petrol station with their lives,

Nascar sucks ?!!! You could get shot for even thinking that down them parts.

Well funny though.

Steve.

[Guest Phil_h]

What a great episode Very funny indeed.

 

I've spent a bit of time in the US working and some of the stuff rang true. (If slightly embelished )

 

I particularly liked the refrence to the hotel chains and red lobster Its so true.

And not forgetting Stigs american cousin - Big Stig

I was struck with how desolate the whole place is. Hate to live there, and would certainly not go there. Remember, that car dealer with the pistol in his pocket and a rifle indoors is a real person, not an actor, and he really does have these weapons to hand.

 

Nasty place.

[Guest timswait]

that car dealer with the pistol in his pocket and a rifle indoors

Not to mention the shotgun which he had forgotten where he had put!

To be fair they were out looking for the worst bits of America, it's a big place and I know it's not all like that.

[Guest tom2b]

Good point, you get places like that over here aswell

[Grizzly]

...you get places like that over here aswell

What? - Gun toting Car Dealers? - Well I never. I really should get out more.

Great programme. I did get a bit silly though. Despite that, I haven't laughed so much for a long time.

sorry about the caps

[Guest Guy]

Thanks for that Vacine, I missed it but I see it's repeated on Wednesday. Their all mad!

[enforcer]

Sad to say I thought it was crass and cheap. Not to mention offensive. No doubt there will be plenty of complaints (the dead cow on the Camero was just a bit ill-advised, and getting cheap laughs from the 'gay' references isn't likely to make them many friends). There were moments of pure, genuine, classic comedy (like Jeremy's in car power shower) but they spoilt these with cheap humour.

 

I cringed at the scenes in New Orleans where they appeared to be taking advantage of the desperate plight of the people remaining there and turning it into a joke. "Even these destitute homeless people wouldn't accept the free Cadillac" etc.

 

I suspect the garage forecourt bit was all staged anyway, but this is all rapidly going downhill and appears to be pandering to a different audience now. Shame though.

[Guest tom2b]

Theres always one!
