I'm curious to know; does anyone else here watch Top Gear?

The new series made its debut in the UK last Sunday, and it was a good opener. Out of the three cars shown, I'd pick the Ferrari California (in blue or silver, though the red is nice). The Aston looks too old hat these days, and the Lamborghini is too crazy for my tastes. Eric Bana was also a great guest, a very likeable guy.

Smiter, I agree with you. Good episode.

The California does look good, but I'm a sucker for that Aston.

And that video clip of Eric Bana's crash was CRAZY!

And LOL @ The Stig throwing a fit during James's review for the BMW 7series.

A bit confused, but does Smiter-sama mean new 'season'? And, while I don't watch it too often, when I do see it, it's quite entertainingly hilarious. Probably the best quality in that show in my opinion.

Feck yes. I was wondering when somebody would do a topic on this. I've seen episodes here and there, but I love watching it just for racing Supercars and other exotic rides.

Being a car fan, this is the stuff to watch. It's pretty awesome.

@ shad - yeah, Season 14 just started. BBC America stopped on Season 12... I think they're showing Season 13 sometime next year. Series = Season. Confusing, to US people, i know XD

Smiter, are you planning to go see Top Gear Live?

The Aston is still a classic, I have to agree. The design has just been mainly unchanged for years, though.

My God, that road. It may have been built by a mad dictator, but it's truly a thing of beauty. Those corners!

I love the Stig parts. XD My favourites are when he's trying to figure out things we take for granted, such as mobile phones.

Yeah, like Jo said, it's a new "season". You can catch the latest episodes on www.finalgear.com They usually have torrents of the latest episodes in SD or HD a couple of hours after it's finished airing on British TVs (Sunday night 10pm GMT).

If you have the bandwidth and a powerful PC, I'd recommend the HD version so you can admire the cars (or Jeremy's bald spot) in all their glory.

Smiter, are you planning to go see Top Gear Live?

I wish I could! I've been really busy at work, and it's too late to book tickets now.

That road is amazing. But I think the road in Oslo...the one when they took a GT3RS, Gallardo Superlegerra, and a V8
Vantage Race Car.

Best Driving Road. EVAR.

Tonight is the next episode of Top Gear.

Jeremy, Richard and James attempt to save the planet by building their own electric car, and then put their latest 'green' creation through the rigours of the new car testing process.

Meanwhile on the track, the battle of the continents, as Europe takes on the USA and Jeremy pits the Corvette ZR1's muscle against the finesse of Audi's R8 V10.

The Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is Hollywood's hottest new property, Frost/Nixon and Damned United star Michael Sheen.

Somehow, I think the electric car will be "ambitious, but rubbish".

I'd say the Audi will edge out the Corvette in their duel. Corvettes can't take corners without ending up going backwards, after all...

Love this show. Love the engineering and technical stuff behind the cars.

If only I could afford some of them

[Smiter]

You and me, both.

I was surprised to see a Maserati going through my home town! I think it was a metallic grey 2004/5 GranSport.

[JoHamSandwich]

Another good episode.

and Smiter, The ZR1 beat the R8's time. That Corvette is a sexy car :O~~

I admit though, most corvettes are blech. I only like the C3 Stingrays and the C6 (current) Corvettes.

I've heard that Season 13 would start soon..didn't know it already did though.

Where are you watching it at?
