I know there are a good number of people on here who enjoy the british car show top gear. and for many of us who dont get the BBC we resort to watching episodes and clips on google video. unfortunatly most of the top gear videos have been removed from google video :( if anyone has another site that might have a good number of them let me know. i was really dissapointed when i discovered this, its such a great show and a shame that they dont air it in the US.

for anyone who hasnt seen the show and is interested you can view a few clips from their website http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/downloads/

you know that speed channel has a slightly watered down version called fifth gear right? they edit out most of the cars that don't relate to the US...which is most of the time the most interesting cars but still...good show.

clarkson.

one of my favorite clips is when he's driving the bentley arnage T, throwing it around sideways and beating it to piss. "it's not exactly a sports car, but it's not bad for a cathedral"

I think its more of the interplay between the three hosts that makes that show great. Its the differing opinions and tastes, and the arguments, that makes that show a lot of fun.

that is fun, but it's clarkson who is constantly ripping on james may and the hamster, i think with out him the interplay wouldent be what it is.
