Now I know why Tim went to South Africa. The Brits are all crazy!

That is one of my favorite TV shows. You never know what foolishness they are going to think of.

I never heard of them before, the clip is a bit long but good fun. I am just glad that I was on dry ground. Are they on cable? Where can I find them?

BBC America on cable. You can also find them online at the BBC America web site. I think they have full episodes posted there. One of my favorite parts of the show is "Celebrities in a reasonably priced car" They have Brit celebs drive some kind of econobox around their track with an in car camera and also an interview about the drive. Gordon Ramsey and Simon Cowell are both hot shoes. I think Helen Mirren did pretty well too.

Top Gear is one of the best shows out there. Its on BBC every monday night for about 4 hours they do all sorts of weird things like turning a 3 wheeled car into a Top Gear space shuttle with real booster rockets or launching a old mini off a olympic ski jump.

As James May would like to say: "Well, no! Actually we are a thirty minute show on Sunday night"

The channel crossing was a very good show.

And the web site: http://www.topgear.com/uk/

Quite impressive, that one, driving a Toyota pick-up to France!

I hadn't seen the original Toybota though, thanks for the link.

Tim. (In hot sunny SA far from the mad Brit's!).
