Did anyone see Top Gear last night? I don't drive and have no intention of driving so I don't generally watch it but last night's was hilarious. I missed the beginning but I saw most of it. It was about their trip though America. The best bits had to be when Jeremy turned up with a dead cow on the roof of his car and when they drove through Alabama with stuff like the following written over all three cars...

HILARY FOR PRESIDENT!
NASCAR SUCKS!
COUNTRY AND WESTERN IS RUBBISH!
MAN-LOVE RULES OK

:lol: Suffice to say they got pelted by rocks when they stopped for petrol. Lesley, I know they show it over there but is there a delay? You've got to see this one.

Ohhhh shiney!!! Thanks a bunch James.

I'm not really a rev head, but there is something fascinating about those cars.

They are pure comedic genius to me.

Is Richard ok? Was he on the show?

Last night it was the Volkswagon super duper car... (i didn't get to watch it i forget it was on and I was watching House).. I'm assuming it was a hideously suped up car that went really fast ? ;) ^_^

The topgear website isn't very helpful i can't find an episode guide at all!

Richard's back on the show but I think the stuff they feature is usually shot ages ago? This American thing must have been before the accident.

I think the accident was mid-season because he did return to finish filming I think and he is apparently fine now.

K coolies.

I should mention that Richard is just one of those guys who will forever be called cute because you just want to coddle him. can't help it.

I would also love to see the world if Jeremy ruled it.
