TopGear coming to America

[DjPtsatsot]

I've heard from numerous people that TopGear will indeed finally be coming to the US on Discovery Channel. (maybe HD sweet). I don't believe the episodes will be the same as BBC's in fact, they are filmed seperatly, but never-the-less this is a huge step forward for us US fans of the series.

Yes it was already posted a few times ;)

I believe the episode's coming are actually not just the one's from the UK rather original ones. Apperantly a lot less effort is put into them ( 1 hr. recording time vs. 3-4 hours), and the editing is supposed to be pretty iffy, but hey what the hell?

I'll believe it when i see it. Sounds too much like a "I heard from a friend.." roumor

wow, i cant wwait. but its a shame that it wont be as good as the original show. :cry:

[pimrusis]

This will be some of the most interesting television ever created. Jeremy Clarkson....... talking about American cars and to American people. He'll probably get tons of hate mail.

of course it wont be, its for americans who like big lazy V8's and lazyboy wobbly suspension who think bigger is better for eveything ;)

[ferrarif1fan89]

being an american, and detesting thoses things, i think i have the right to say that you are an ignorant bastard. oh, and are you mentally retarded? :?: :?: :?:

hope we can get someone who can rip em

undoubtably there would be somene, but i guess we have quite a while, as they still need to be filmed and edited yet..... could be quite a few months i guess

nope, just going by the majority of American manufactured vehicles ;)

The wink suggested it to be a friendly jokey comment in case you handt picked up on that one - no need to get personal :P

[ferrarif1fan89]

^^^oh, surry. lol. kinda jumped the gun a bit. but yes, you have a point about the american cars, but look at the new ZO6. that thing is a true supercar, and it can compete with the rest of the world, nd not just because of the engine. thats about as much as i can say about american manufacturers.

[JiggaStyles09]

wow this is definitly good news, anything is better than goddamn motorweek on the speed channel. :roll: where they tell me exactly nothing about the car they are testing for a half hour.

If this is true, Someone from the US will have to record those lol. I suppose that these vids will be 30 mins long instead of almost an hour like in the UK, but if they are different, they will be great. I suppose they would drop the interview with a star, but that isnt that much of a loss. I'd be great if this does happen.
