In case you're a fan - that's tomorrow Sunday. They'll have the bit where they drove through Alabama with "Nascar Sucks" on their cars... funny guys.

The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger.

I hate Obama's America. You're damn right about that.


Friday, May 28, 2010 - 18:26 To President Obama:
Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar.
Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.
... go fuck yourself, Mr. President.

Hooo boy, bet THAT didn't go over too well with the locals...

Of course, I'm used to such insanity, a local UAW worker up here got into a bit of nasty with his co-workers about parking his "Foreign" Nissan (Built in america, by americans) in the company lot, next to "Real American" (Built foreign, by non union labor) cars...

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment about Top Gear. Had no idea what Top Gear was, but that "Nascar Sucks" stunt had me freakin' dying!

Oh, they are a scream. It's not a "car show", nor necessarily even a show for "car guys". I'm a car guy, but my wife likes the show as much as I do - it has her screaming with laughter on a regular basis.

It's more of a "let's-use-cars-as-a-flimsy-excuse-to-see-what-we-can-get-away-with" show. :D


I had no idea they have 350 million viewers in over 170 countries. That's impressive.

That was pretty good - they could have done a whole show on them. 350 million viewers???

A clip from one of my favorite challenges - all 3 were given a small budget (typical) and told to build their own version of a motor home. Jeremy went for a 3 story modern look attached to an old Citroen. Of course, it was a bit top heavy...



Also, tons of "outtakes" from the show at youtube, some good stuff.

Be sure to check out the celebrity interviews & laps on youtube, too! They have Helen Mirren, Jay Leno, Simon Pegg, Stephen Fry and so many more. I can't believe I no longer get BBC America! I really miss this show.
