Brittish, blonde, giggly gillian anderson is basically a long lost twin with an entirely different personality as far as what I was expecting. It was a rather fun interview.

When she's interviewed in the states she speaks with an American accent. She lived in England until she was 11 and then moved to America. I imagine her natural voice is kind of a hybrid.

Wikipedia is wrong. Castlegar has no precision approach either and is the very last airport in the world I would use as an IFR alternate under any circumstances. At our company, standard procedure going into either Trail or Castlegar is to use Kelowna as an alternate.

Hmm, I guess you're right. I could've sworn there was an ILS approach (albeit with ridiculous minimums) but it appears I was mistaken as I can find no actual evidence of its existence. I have to agree that using either Trail or Castlegar as an alternate for anything would be bordering on the absurdly stupid and possibly suicidal.

This may or may not be correct.

I've probably eaten at that same diner in Hope a couple times. Really weird and cool seeing so many recognizable local landmarks on Top Gear.

I think she spoke with the English accent on the Nerdist podcast a while back, which is a great listen if you liked her giggly-sweary side last night. I can't remember the last time I've enjoyed a SIARPC segment that much.

I'm afraid we have no time for codes and manners.
The technical term is bidialectal, as she can speak both accents naturally due to growing up in two places. But the giggly thing is something that I read about in an interview around the time of the X-Files, but never saw until now. So different from her usual roles, especially (recently) Hannibal.

It might just be me, but does the rear hatch on that Jaaaag at the beginning of the episode look like the hatch on a Crossfire? At least the rest of the car is beautiful, but once I saw that, I could not unsee it.

It's not a remake, it's a sequel, by the same director/writer/producer as the first three. They've replaced Mel Gibson though, as nobody wants to watch that racist anymore.

Once again, thanks to Top Gear, I feel the need to do some rallycross. I have roadraced both bikes and cars for many years, but this looks new and exciting, and the short races would be a way to counter the endurance races I usually love. One problem, I have no dirt experience.

I wasn't a fan of the Eagle roadster, but this one makes my naughty parts go all tingly, especially with the noise it was making. I have always been a fan of the sound of a good V8 or V12, but a straight 6 has a sound all its own.

I would love this and the Koenigsegg fanboy in me says it would wipe the floor with all three... but the realist in me says the 918 is the quickest of the bunch on a twisty track.
