On bbc3 @ 7pm tonight.

Is that the episode where they all write on each others car, and pull into the petrol station, before making a sharp exit?

So funny

It's the American version of top gear.

Thanks for the heads up Scotty. Preparing to be dissapointed though.

Maybe it's because the UK Top Gear is a bit s**t now, but this doesn't seem too bad.

The over use of (bad) metaphors and (worse) similies is comical.
The focus seems to be more on the cars than the crap which is good.
The inside cameras are a bit dodgy
The whole thing somehow seems a little rushed which is good when it come to Star in a Rea... erm, Big Star, Small Car, which is the weakest part of Top Gear most weeks imo.
It's not been all Americana which is nice too.
The 3 presenters seem kinda the same though, will be interesting to watch them become spoofs of themselves as it goes on like Clarkson et all. have
All in all not a bad job.

Cheers for the heads up Scotty

The Lambos were indeed luvverly, but was there no head-to-head so as not to encourage street racing, ie american litigous society?

all-in-all a bit average tbh, but better than fook all I suppose

Will be gettable on iplayer too undoubtedly

Pleasantly entertaining

Tanner Foust is a bit of a "hand" and could certainly throw the viper around.
I think the mix of driver, comedian and muttering rotter bodes well for banter.

I watched a bit of last nights show, the viper and lambos.

Did anyone else feel it was cut very badly and the audience laugh was too fake !?

[Scotty C]

i watched it last night and thought it was ok.

was it me or did it look like they speeded up parts of the viper and lambo clips

In the absence of "UK" Top Gear, I liked it. James is going to be goggle-eyed when he sees it tho

Good effort, some formats don't cross the Atlantic so well but this seems to work. The BBC Worldwide franchise in action.

Fair bit of consistency of production values - camera work, segment style, etc - wonder how many TG staff are over working on it.

And as for Yank Stig crossing the line in the Gallardo SuperLeggera sideways, well, respek. I'll have one of those.

Like their track too. Think Lotus designed that one?!

Great spot, thanks Scotty.

Their Stig looked like he had been at the pies though.
