A comedian(such as: rory mcgraw, russel howard, bill bailey) would drive a car(listening to a U roy track of their choice over and over again) from portsmouth heading towards north west scotland, at some point they would get a phone call(from someone who didn't know whereabouts on the road they where) they would then have to take the next left. They would then take the first two rights, then the next two lefts, then a right and then finally a left. They would then stop, get a bicycle(which has a sign on the back reading 'Ben Stiller') from the boot and cycle to the nearest place where they could buy a cadbury's wispa(they do not where it is though, they have to look for one). They would do this five times, a best score and an average score would be kept and at the and of the series a winner would be declared for each time. c4c

I could just picture Jeremy Clarkson on a bicycle, grumbling, coughing and complaining the entire way.
"Ohh this seat piches my buttocks, and I am old and fat and out of shape, and I look rediculous in this biker outfit! Where the hell is Hammond? He usually sleeps in these things. Also, where the hell is May? Did he get lost again? Ohh bloddy hell!"
I saw Top Gear this week, and after seeing him in a wetsuit, I do have to say he is in shape. You gotta remember though, "pear" is technically a shape. I dunno what was funnier--watching him drive a 20-foot tall Citroen, watching him try to sleep in that 20-foot Citroen, or getting into that wetsuit.

An American Top Gear? I dunno man...they'll have to import a Stig from the Formula series, as many of the racers in America don't know how to make right-hand turns. Plus, I agree with the continuing argument of the show being American-based. Top Gear UK is put on by the BBC, a government-subsidized organization, meaning they don't have to worry about commercial time and sponsorship. In America, though, I can see a lot of car manufacturers wanting to run ad time during the show, and logically so. My question is: do you withhold giving a car a bum rating due to the fact that the manufacturer advertises on the show? Its a balance between profitability and integrity.

I don't think I will watch Top Gear USA. It just can't be anything close to the original. It will be watered down. Maybe some of the challenges will be alright, but it will lack that British humor. Will they be allowed to say anything bad about any cars? It is not PC to say anything bad about Toyota in this country.
Will they use the Stig's fat American cousin?

I think it sounds pointless and boring with no entertainment or educational value whatsoever, and it's unlikely in the extreme that I'd watch it. But, it would probably make millions of dollars per week and last for 8 seasons, so go ahead and make it. Maybe it'll replace American Idol or some equally painful show.
