This week's Top Gear

Post by Bandidoz »

In this episode Clarkson et al do a road trip in America. Parts of it are hilarious (especially the "cow on the roof" - I confess to having a sick sense of humour) , parts of it demostrate that "freedom of speech" in parts of America is non-existent, and they finally rock up in New Orleans, showing how little repair work has been done in the area since the hurricane.

Must-see TV. Repeated this Wednesday (14th) at 7PM.

Some kind soul has "You-Tube"d it:

I shall watch it. Top Gear's always been a guilty pleasure for me- I shouldn't like it but I do. I think Clarkson's a bit of a git but I still like him and find him entertaining!

I've seen this weeks Top Gear, it was very funny, it might be a good one to show to future generations in a history lesson.

Fantastic show! Really funny.

To be honest, re the free speech, the messages on their cars were offensive but I think pelting them with rocks is taking it all a bit too seriously. Clarkson had it right when he described them as having mated with a vegetable!
