Top Gear USA on TV tonight!
« on: 14 October 2011, 17:08 »
Incase you have nothing better to do, BBC3 are showing the entire season of Top Gear USA starting tonight at 7pm. It actually looks alright from the trailer and might make a change from the Clarkson/Hammond/May banter.
Looks like they had a good budget too.

been watching it and it just isn't the same. They recently had a Hollywood car themed episode where they had $2000 to buy a car and mod it to look like a famous car from TV or film. The premise sounds like a laugh but it wasn't that great.

They are currently showing the second series over in the states.

It's like the Aussie version. If you've seen the original then others seem like a pale imitation. Why not simply make more uk episodes?
