    Ok I love it! It is originally a British programme so i'm not sure if it has aired in another country. It is actually a non-fictional programme but it is hilarious!! The hosts are Jerremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond (who is quite short and gets the mickey taken out of him)!

    Here's a few clips of them in America which was the most hilarious episode that I have ever watched!! NOt sure if it if offensive to Americans really- it is for fun! :lol:

    Part 1
    Part 2
    Part 3
    Part 4
    Part 5
    Part 6

    part 6 shows you there reaction when they reach Louissiana!

    So has anyone else seen it??

    I love Top Gear it is absolutely AMAZING!
    That ep in America was legendary lol
    The banter between Jeremy James and richard is first class and the guests they get for "star in the reasonably priced car" are great!
    Loved it tonight aswell they had Lewis Hamilton on and richard had to drive a formula 1 car trust me it was hilarious!

    'We are the most northern people in the world right now, Well apart from Michael Parkinson obviously

    I actually spit my drink out at that comment :lol:

    I love Top Gear. My knowledge of cars is rather poor I don't know the first thing to look for when buying one but I never miss Top Gear it is amazing!

    Did anyone see Lewis Hamilton do his lap on Sunday? I think if he had done it on a dry day he would have beat The Stigs time

    I loved the aquatic boats, and that Captain Slow (James May) was actually the one to win it. And the driving there was great - "Trees! Trees!"

    That, and I loved the clip when Hamster (Richard Hammond) and Jerremy were standing near the speed camera waving and smiling, waiting for someone to speed so they could get their picture taken.

    I'll have to take a look. It won't be til tomorrow though, as my work blocks YouTube and I won't have time tonight. But the Speed Camera ep is available on the Challenges DVD, which is absolutely brilliant.

    One that I do know is on YouTube is the Stig Challenge, where the guys have to build a kit car while the Stig drives to where they are. I cannot stop laughing when I see that one.

    That whole challenge was filmed around and near to where I live and work.
    I was off work the day they were filming, and my then boyfriend came home to ask if I'd gone to Rudyard Lake to see them. Well I would have taken the 20 minute drive if someone had called me during his lunch break!

    I loved the £10K Italian Supercar Challenge - just don't buy one :lol:

    Clarrisani is that the one where the Stig has to buy petrol and then gets 'arrested' !!!

    Have you seen the one where they race across London...
    Richard- Cycling
    Jeremy- Boat
    James- Car
    Stig- Public transport

    Hammond got there first but they petended that James had been there 10 minutes all ready to 'save' the show!!



    Funny...NOthing to do with above
    Can you beat a speed camera? Yes!
