it is true that these days it isn't just for car enthusiasts. i don't care much about cars but i got watching top gear recently and i really think its a good program with good entertaining presenters. i had no idea this show has lasted so long :)
People say new Top Gear has jumped the shark. Maybe, maybe not but one thing's certain is that it beats more than half the crap us Americans have to unfortunately bear.
@9Rayvik9 That's an analogue broadcast, recorded onto a VHS tape and uploaded onto a low quality Flash video medium (i.e. youtube), of course it looks rubbish.
The original Betacam (or DigiBeta) tapes will be pretty high quality...
Oh and you maybe have been joking, but The Matrix was shot on 35mm film so would obviously kick videotape's arse in quality terms.
i dont like or care about cars at all. i imagine these olders shows wouldnt appeal to me much. but nowadays, its virtually a comedy show! absolutely love it! the presenters make it great.
I'm writing a strongly lettered word to the BBC, BAN THIS SICK FILTH!
/sarcasm
Yeah, it's a shame they don't let them get cancered up at all on telly anymore. It'd be cool to see them chainsmoke while blasting accross Europe in a hypercar.
I wish some of these idiots we see on tv would go away and i don't mean Mr Clarkson he is ok but he needs to be even more honest about a certain car company, lol. If he reads this he nows what i mean.
@ysivyboi1 No, because 100% is not a limit of any kind, you can be 200% percent sure, or 200% more than something, and it would still be correct. But your vision cannot be over 360 degrees. That is a fact.

It looks like all the men are sex offenders, like the sort you find on Crimewatch.
With their mugshots. Bad leather jackets, bad sweaters. even worse hair cuts...
Its like those old episodes of Bulls Eye on Challenge, its always really hard to find a date on how old these episodes are.
