Top Gear USA
« on: August 01, 2011, 11:29:08 pm »
A fan of the European show, and am not disappointed with the US version. Reason I am bringing it up, is they had a little challenge where they all bought an available version of their first car to see who made the best choice.

Rutlege Wood had a Caddy Diesel. The one he bought for the show was immaculate, hated the wheels on it but you can tell someone put some love into it. Watch it if you get a chance. In the US Its on the History Channel, dunno about Canada. Eventually they will put it up on their website.

I watched it last night, I almost cried when they crashed the caddy. Didn't really care for the other two cars.

Its an all different kind of feel for sure, but it has its own charm. The first season the inter banter between them felt really forced, as to where the euro, those guys have been doin it so long it seems very natural.

The US version is no where near as awesome as the euro, but has its own charm.

ok.. me dl it now... www.graboid.com is a hell of a place.. yea subscription.. but IMO worth every cent..

p.s. i buy the 29.99 plan.. share my password with a few friends.. wall mart gift cards registered to some bs addy.. which maches graboid addy.. with fake name and such..

they also give you a free trial time and a few gigs to play with there is a under 400mb version of the program in which you speak..

ive been using this place for a while now.. will never go back to cable/sat.. this much better deal.. and no commercials..
