OMG, I watched Top Gear On Demand last night and it was hysterical. I watched the episode where Clarkson uses a small suv and becomes a "fox" in a drag hunt.
Just watching him driving that small car across country with a pack of hounds in full cry after him and the hunt following was hilarious.
I watched Chopped. Let's just say I already canceled my Season Pass.
Huh.
I recorded that too but haven't watched it yet.
I watched the episode where Clarkson uses a small suv and becomes a "fox" in a drag hunt.
That was this week's! I thought that was great, but I also loved watching Hammond on the horse freaking out over his first jump.
Still, my favorite Top Gear challenge remains to this day the British Leyland one, where the three guys had to spend 1500 pounds out of their own pockets and buy a BL car (notorious for being poorly made) to test.
They failed on the "drive to the test facility without breaking down" test, the "beat the Datsun's time" test, one failed the handbrake test (Clarkson cheated on that one), and none of them did well on the rough road test (Clarkson lost a door). Then they had to drive their cars around the test track fully loaded with water, which only May did decently (Clarkson lost another door). I was on the floor almost crying I was laughing so hard watching that episode!
Megan is me. Disappointing.
I'm guessing I shouldn't be irritated I missed Chopped then?
Crum bum, I can't find Top Gear on my TiVo search. It must be a channel I don't get. Maybe I can find it on YouTube.
It's on BBCAmerica, but it has its own YouTube channel, and you can also access a lot of videos at its website.
It's on BBCAmerica, Sail. Best show EVER.
I'm not that much into cars, but I love watching it. Even the test driving of the supercars is interesting, just because the presenters get so geeked out about them (or disappointed, as the case may be).
The show not only does a good job of reviewing cars and entertaining the viewers with interesting and funny challenges, but the cinematography is amazing. They really make the cars look incredible in the most beautiful locations possible.
