First episode premiered last night, and it was breedy gud. Looked every bit as shiny and nice as TG - just goes to show even without the BBC's budget, they can still make a good car show. Anyone else seen it? Thoughts? | ||

As expected of country grown vegetables Group: Special Snowflake Posts: 2,330 Member No.: 19,520 Joined: Aug 14th 2006 Location: Redondo Beach, CA. | It was pretty cool. I thought they were trying too hard to be funny though, didn't seem like they were natural responses from the trio. Also trying too hard to be Top Gear, but I have a feeling it'll evolve to differentiate itself over time. The camera work also isnt as good in a few shots. Just nitpicking |

Loved the skydiving fail! |

Trigger warning: I love this new show. 20x better than the old (wrong) Top Gear. Dunno why. The timing, coordination, flow is just way more organic. Hell, it even beats out our old top gear (the right one). [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |

That thing's not a car ~ it's a Dodge motherfscking Viper running on Nuclear fallout SEX ~ you can't even hear yourself in the cabin of that ship ♪ ♫ In the absence of Top Gear I started watching YouTube's /DRIVE and EVO channels ~ both very commendable review shows ~ but they have no shtick. I agree about TGT's flow ~ it seems less uptight and worried about losing it's sponsorship. Hopefully this thing'll last as long as the olde Top Gear did ~ | ||

But Clarkson's just too nutterz & Hamster's got a peanut for a brain ~ I found some pretty interesting theory videos on a site called Driver61 --- --- --- I've no real experience driving fast on any track or fast-vehicle BUT one thing I've found when driving RWD cars is that if I initiate the slide prior to turning on the corner - I have more control of the car & end up having a lot more fun than if I induce a power-slide midway or exiting the corner like most people with over-powered cars tend to do ~ I see that a lot with Corvette owners! I see how slow I am by starting the slide before the corner and swooping-out of it smoothly - as opposed to - just doing proper braking & taking a curve with grip so I can be faster & cut some seconds. But I feel I have more control when I start the slide early before the apex & end up enjoying the "drift" even though I'm obviously slower... I don't even play racing games ~ last one I played was Enthusia eons ago! But does that make any sense? | ||
