[MidEngine4Life]

It has to be a joke he posted it in Top Gear discussion

[MotorWorld]

[CarlZ]

bahahahahahahahaha good one!

[enzoferrari]

:ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::-P

[gatot]

Yeah, what? Top Gear? Hah? or Fifth Gear? Hmmmm....:?:

[philip]

I had heard of top gear so yeah that was a bad joke. (They even sell a top gear magzine at the locak book store.

But I had really never seen the TV show before other than these little snippet videos I found here.

The tall guy they call Stitch, is he the one who crashed in the rocket car? Is he well or was I watching a rerun.

A really well done show. Not like the cheap ass car shows that are made in the US.

Why dont you get to see who the test track driver is?

[torrentjunkie]

...

i'm just lost for words

[Svensson]

Can't believe it either, he must be playing with us!

[CarlZ]

erm those little videos you found here?

offcourse what's big for one might be small for other...

[philip]

So you like have the whole seasons here. wow. I just remember seeing little segments like a mini on a ski jump or bashing a Porsche into a concrete block wall.

I'm tivoing them now. I will wait and see them on the big TV. But thanks for pointing out they are here.

[5vz-fe]

philip, you are starting to scare me now, coz I am starting to think u are not joking :?:

[toffytofik]

:-P

[styla21]

This thread is possibly epic... I can't wait to see what you say next, Phillip.
:ohmy::mrgreen:

[xbeakerx]

he has to be on something narcotic...

[bluedemon]

WTF! He can't be serious, I haven't been on this site for long, but he's got a lot of posts, please tell me he is kidding, and who the hell is Stitch????? Surely he's not talking about The Stig????

[marcefer]

I agree with styla21: this thread is going epic! :-D

bluedemon: I'm sure you know the Stitch. If you still don't remember, follow this link http://tv.disney.go.com/disneychannel/liloandstitch/index.html
;-):mrgreen: :laugh:

Maybe philip discovered who really The Stig is, but the truth is too inconvenient to be told.
Could it be Tiff Nedell ?
Will the 3 brits (4 from next Sunday) someday illuminate us with the identity of the White Driver? :-D

Anyway I can't wait for series 11 !!

[pitfield]

there's a uk tv channel calle 'dave' top gear is on almost all day

[refaat33]

I can't believe he is serious , but if he is serious I would really envy him because he will have the pleasure of seeing all of it for the first time .

[79rivers]

I can't believe he is serious , but if he is serious I would really envy him because he will have the pleasure of seeing all of it for the first time .

I can. He lives in the U.S., so doesn't have much access to those fun British shows unless he knows what to look for. Same with me – I just discovered Top Gear last year. And I'm loving it.

[CarlZ]

^He's here for 6th year, main events on this site is formula one, wrc and top gear. It's theoreticly impossible that in all this time he haven't discovered top gear.

[Wonderduck]

I consider myself a knowledgeable fan of F1 in particular and motorsports in general. That being said, I only discovered the joys of Top Gear a year or so ago, and only through youtube clips of the test drives. The first full episode I've seen was this past Sunday's (s11e01).

Actually, that's not entirely true. Top Gear was shown for a brief time on one of the cable channels we have here in the US, I think it was TLC, maybe five or six years ago. It bombed, and the one or two episodes I saw were really, REALLY not entertaining to me.

Now, however, I love it. I must have been in a permanent bad mood back then. And a duck in a bad mood is a terrible thing...

Anyway, I suppose it's not impossible that he really HADN'T heard of Top Gear. Not bloody likely, but not impossible. :?:

[CarlZ]

it's not impossible not to know about top gear in general, but HE is here for 6th year! 6TH! i'we been here for couple of months and I have already discovered BTCC, WTCC, DTM, GP2, IFM, FormulaD........

Hmmm. I suppose he can. Despite Top Gear stuff always on the front page, it's not all this site is about, so it's possible he's heard of it, but never actually watched an episode. Very possible.

...although, the fact that he called BBC America obscure...

:D :D :D
Three Smiley faces

[philip]

I've now officially watched four episodes.

Testing two station wagons at night at an airport with lots of flames. Best road in the world with three great cars including my current fav the GT3RS. Some kind of challenge with three old British cars (Leyland?) and the one I watched today a challenge in the desert of Africa with a VW bug that they hated for some reason winning.

The race driver that you dont see his face is Stig. There is no Stich sorry.

The show is beautifully filmed and is a lot of fun.

The DVR has about twenty shows loaded in now. So I do have alot to look forward to.

Beats any American car show hands down.

[philip]

The episode I just watched was about an A10 and a 24 hour indurance race at Silverstone.

Are these shows from last season or are they older?

Is Stig a formula one driver or something, does anyone know his name, or is he always the same person?

I love you Philip. I do.
Your posts complete me.:mrgreen:

[marcefer]

Philip
You can do a little research in the web, for example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear_%28current_format%29

And don't forget to let us know your thoughts about our favorite tv show.

[philip]

Thank you.

I didnt think to Wikipedia the program.

It was very informative. Stig was not identified. But I did learn that the taller man Richard was the one hurt in the rocket car accident, which I had heard about. The Silverstone race was from 2007.

What was interesting abput the article was the amount of critisism of the show by various groups. It seems that edgy shows are subject to critisism worldwide and not just here in the US.

The filming of the cars is fantastic. They always seem show the cars in snow, water, flames, at night, at sunset, in fog, but unlike America never being rubbed on by beautiful girls in bikinis. But then I have only seen five episodes.

[Dubai]

Philip, if you want more TopGear Caffein, go to YouTube...

[CarlZ]

^nah, here is it all

[Shilder]

Its impossible, to dont know anything about Top gear, if you are register in this site !

[CarlZ]

^I thought so too...I was wrong...now I read this thread for fun :D

[Nuggles]

Philip, you've a whole world of fun ahead of you. Enjoy it.

[MrEMan]

Top Gear has to be one of the very few show I actually watch regularly and thanks to the internet I have seen every episode :)

More than just a show to review new cars, Top Gear is essential viewing. Not just for petrol heads, it also has a huge following amongst people with little or no interest in cars - both male and female. This is due to the shows irreverent approach to motoring, the humor and the priceless chemistry between the shows presenters. A global audience of 350 million can't be wrong.

Ok is the new season of TopGear starting in America tonight?

I guess I will find out as I have it set to Tivo. Sounds fun with the GT-R in Japan.

Last week I watched some kind of awards show, with a car that wasnt on the show or pictured, winning car of the year.

I dont seem to know many of the people who drive the small blue car around the track. Many times they are introduced as "needing no introduction" and I havent a clue who they are. Speaking of who, the guy was introduced as playing Dr. Who. I guess you have to have a scorecard to figure out who, Dr. Who is, cause I had never seen him before. Seemed young to play Dr. Who. I did know who Helen Mirren is but thats about it.

The one they played last night was a repeat of one of the six I had seen. A disapointment, but I watched it again and enjoyed it as much as before.

Boy they sure run thru alot of tires.

I'm going to hold off watching the new ones here as I want to enjoy it on the big screen.

Its hard to wait as hearing here about the GT-R vs the bullet train sounds great.

[Spiffu]

I award you the troll of the year.

:clap::clap::clap:
man this thread is good fun...

[Joana]

So you like have the whole seasons here. wow. I just remember seeing little best epilator 2019 (https://epilatoradviser.com/)
