I have seen a couple of episodes of Top Gear on BBCA (British Broadcasting Company of America) and thought I'd pass this along. It's a weird show because the Brits have a weird sense of humor.
They have three guys that review cars and do some competitions. Lots of the review stuff is crap so record it so you can fast forward through it. The competitions, now – in one, they took three 18-wheelers and “customized” them. One looked like a Mad Max thing, another was what they described as “gay Indian”. They took these on a road course with hills and none of them had any more than basic instruction on how to drive them. In the trailers, they put something that would give trouble. One had a huge wedding cake, one had a car – in neutral and not tried down, and the third had hay in the front of the trailer and a running electric heater in the back. You can imagine how badly that turned out.
They weren't even wearing seat belts, and one of them fell out of the driver's seat while going around a corner. He later complained that “the gearstick went up my arse”. Then they ran the trucks through a house, a brick wall, and a wall of bottles of water.
The latest episode, one drove a couple of cars through a village while Brit soldiers shot their version of MILES at him.
Anyway, it has some amusing moments if you get that channel.
