I wouldn't say I don't like him, just that he's not as charming as May.

I think I'd much rather hang out with Hammond or May than Clarkson.

Personally I think Top Gear was more-or-less made by all three of them, together, but individually May and Clarkson are more interesting as TV presenters. I'd probably enjoy a pint with any of the three of them; aw hell, we'd all be knee-walking drunk before any of them ran out of goofy Top Gear stories to tell, so that's about what that's worth.

Seems that the moniker 'Mr Angry' is one that he has honoroubly earned.

I hope they now release a cash-in DVD, 'all the sweary bits that we couldn't even admit existed while we were on TV'

They need to keep the set exactly as it was for the last episode, and mark it as a historical landmark. Offer tours so that it becomes an automotive mecca of sorts. Allow people to drive their own car on the track. At additional cost, the 'stig' will take you around, or you can perform your own hot lap in the reasonably-priced car.

They could still make money hand-over-foot.

In that case, for obvious reasons, they should allow multiple people to do laps at once and stream it on the internet.

Not a deleted scene, but this was one of my favorite moments of the show's run. The CUV test from a couple seasons ago, when they were racing caravans to the campsite.

"A terrible catastrophe has befallen me" has worked its way into my phrasebook.

When James May laugh it's the best loving thing.

One of my favorites is at 6:52 when Jeremy's bauhaus caravan drat near gets blown over. I laugh just THINKING of that one.

After five episodes I think the French Top Gear is actually quite good, although that could be due to my French being so poor I don't notice how bad the jokes are.

"Are you going to fall over today for our amusement?" is still the best Top Gear riposte. May affably puts up with the other two's stupid ribbing for so long, steals the episode with one calmy-delivered verbal slap, and even Clarkson knows there's no comeback.

Also, I made his pie last night and it was delicious. So delicious, in fact, that I've saved some and taken it to work with me for lunch. The cardamom was a stroke of genius.

I tried watching the first episode of the 2nd season of US Top Gear, it was awful. It was so clearly scripted and the idiots had no chemistry that wasn't forced by the script.

Which season had Tanner racing against himself in the Stingray? That was cool.

Top Gear US should just be Tanner drives really fast cars against the Stig. Rut and Adam commentary optional.

Rutledge Wood is an insufferable fuckhead and I have no idea why anyone thought putting him in front of a television camera was a good idea. The New Yorker has some personality, and Tanner, while not bad, is out of place, what with being a proper racing driver and all, and especially since they have a format heavier on the challenges and driving sequences, so it frequently becomes "watch Tanner win". At the end of the day, American Top Gear is (was?) what I'd expect to get if three very rich Top Gear fans with no idea about what makes a good television program decided to make their own version of Top Gear. It's had its moments, but it's not measured on the same scale as English Top Gear.

The fact that Goons despise Rutledge when he is undoubtedly the gooniest motherfucker on TV never ceases to amuse me :allears:

Rut owns. Not only did he pick a drat donk for the landbarge challenge, but the dude has some pretty sweet cars of his own.
