You can contrast this to Patrick Stewart's, and you have basically seen all there is to see about How We Do Things.

I really enjoyed the hell out of James May's Cars of the People. Great little series with a ton of info about European cars I had no idea about. James looked like he loved filming all the boring cars too.

Well, to be fair James did fill a Renault full of bullets and grenades in one of the episodes. And LOL at him blowing off the Mini.

The first and second episodes were great, the third one was pretty lovely and then quickly wrapped up in 3 minutes, no real story of the episode like the others, just a bunch of cars James wanted to hsow off.

Yeah, the last episode became a bit of a love letter from James to cars. Plus hammering on about the Golf. I know the Top Gear lads and most Euros love them, but I can not think of a less reliable car in its class than it.

The European-built VWs are (mostly) reliable, at least as reliable as most other cars. They score highly in reliability and ownership experience surveys. But they're also frightfully dull and boring. I'd still much rather drive a French car.

It felt like something out of the first couple seasons of Top Gear. We didn't need the traveling salesman race at all. Nothing on the history of Lamborghini either, a car company founded out of spite, big missed opportunity there.

I will never understand why TG will insist on giving weight and speed figures in imperial units for one car, and metric units for another, or will even just switch arbitrarily right in the middle of a comparison. "This car weighs 2100 pounds, but this one over here is only 900 kilograms!" Do they simply not bother converting whatever is on the fact sheet? Can they not even bother reading out the mph markings on the speedo if it's in metric? Is it laziness or malice? "There's 100! .... 120! ...150! ...180! ...210!" Aw dammit it's kph

Probably because they don't care and most people watching don't care. Most people will never see those cars and even fewer will ever drive or own one. They just want to see a pretty car going fast and then have a few numbers mentioned so they can regurgitate these numbers to their friends later. Then they turn the episode into cool wallpapers and nifty gifs.

I must admit that the first time I saw the show and Clarkson said "torgues", I thought that was the was Brits said "torque".

He's not saying "torques?" I always figured it was a cute "fake dumb" way to say "foot/pounds of torque" for flavor.

The units for torque are obnoxious to say no matter which you choose. I'll give them a pass for glossing over it in a highly non-scientific show like Top Gear.

I have no problem with using 'Torques' instead of 'Newton Metres' This coming from someone who buys petrol in litres, measures distance in miles and wants to know what my mpg is. Most apps, satnavs and trip computers think I am moron and refuse to mix imperial and metric.

You sound like a prime customer for the Top Gear Troll Satnav App. Arbitrarily mixes unit systems and draws dicks all over your maps.

Jalopnik just announced that the crew has arrived in Argentina filming the christmas special. Article goes into detail for those that want the full spoiler http://jalopnik.com/get-excited-because-this-years-top-gear-xmas-special-is-1637691675 Apparently BBC told Clarkson he is in no way supposed to make any offensive remarks especially regarding the Falklands war. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/201...K+Entertainment http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/jeremy-clarkson-ordered-not-cause-4301141 Either-way the man looks excited
