Top Gear USA Tonight!

[angry hampster]

Great episode last night. Watching Tanner do a hard launch with a tiny car FULL of cold sodas was hilarious.

Watched the episode last night - was good...

Watched the Top Gear Special today. Was soooooo much better.

Show is improving. I hope they renew it for at least two more seasons.

Yeah. I think they need some time to get their own style. But it certainly isn't going to happen in just 1 season, and not if they keep changing up the presenters every season.

OMG, I had never laughed so much watching Top gear until I watched their gift section. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

It's pretty obvious that Tanner is the only one that knows how to drive. The other 2 just drive in straight lines. And when they do take a corner or swing the back out, you can't see who is in the drivers seat.

Tanner is easily the best of the 3, although he could use some acting classes
Ferrara comes in second
Wood..... How'd this d-bag even get on TV????!!! Anyone of us in this thread would make a better host than him

the more i watch the more i'd put ferrara in 3rd, rather than rutledge. tanner is obviously the best driver, no question there.

Agreed, Rutledge is better than Ferrara.

Here is the clip I'm referring to (it's top gear UK, still topical :whiste:

Give it a season and I think Rutledge will be the weak point. Foust will become more comfortable in front of camera and Ferrara will polish his schtick. Rutledge doesn't have much to offer really. He's not funny. He's not a car guru. Is he suposed to be the James May? Maybe his obsession with all things southern will be akin to May's obsession with the war.

Who watched the latest show? I used to think Morgan cars were cool, yet quaint. However, I'm in love with the one on the show!

Saw it, but I'm not sure about the humor. The Morgan was interesting, but I would never want to own one and probably don't care to drive one.

 

[Zap]

For me that Morgan would be a "if I won the lottery" type deal. I'd rather have one of those than a supercar. Sure, a Ferrari would turn heads, but everyone's seen pics of them at least. Imagine pulling up to some place in a Morgan!

Is it just me, or did it look as if that special Neiman Marcus Camaro comes with Pontiac wheels?

Yeah, not too keen on Ferrara either. It's like every time he tries to make a line funny he breaks out with his Jersey house wife voice. Annoying as hell.

"britain makes very good cars....or at least they used to "

a great start to the episode already



elk analogy - wtf? some idiot writer had to give that to tanner.

Dur...Tanner Foust is a professional racing driver.

Made me laugh too. If the UK version can bash our cars, I think it's only fair that we can bash them.

 

[thescreensavers]

Decent epi

 

[Aikouka]

Watching it makes me want to see a Top Gear UK vs Top Gear US special of some sort.

Oh and when did Michelle Rodriguez become Fran Drescher? The laugh...

Holy crap, every time I heard her laugh I ground my teeth. I now have to get dentures.

 

[thescreensavers]

^ ha yep

All these actors you thought were pretty cool, but when it comes to driving which you think they should be at least good at. They are such airheads. Michelle and Jeff Goldblum man I think they embarrassed themselves lol

tonight's show was pretty good. i definitely approve of tanner foust's marketing strategies

LOL.. right, but how could anyone like the design of CRZ? Rutlegde was drooling all over that car.

I too liked the show.. the expression on Tim Allen when he was told of his lap time was priceless!!
