I went to two tapings of the new U.S. Top Gear this week. Can't say anything about it but I can all but guarantee that you will like it. It starts on No. 21 on the History channel.

I'll record it, but I'm not exactly holding my breath that it'll be anything as good as the BBC version, which ranks up there as one of my all time favorite shows, automotive or not.

I saw the trailers - they were not promising. I particularly liked the faked 'ding ding ding' of the vintage Mustang (nice - did they think an auto enthusiast audience wouldn't notice?) and the faked donuts of the 'oh face'. Again, did they just think people wouldn't notice, or that they wouldn't care?

One day, I'm going to make a good curmudgeon. :wink:

But like I said, I'll certainly be recording it when it comes on next month with hopes for a good show.

BTW, History Channel? How did they come up with that?
