    Top gear isn't just the most pirated show, it's gotta be the most copied too. Add a little accent in there and you've got this.

    It's actually quite scary how close the people are to the regular 3

    the term carbon-copy comes to mind, the credits, sets, presenters... There's an American one now too isn't there?

    ours is still the best though

    That is scary. What would be funny is if they crossed paths on one of the across europe races.

    And there is DMotor, which is pretty much German Top Gear, with the lovely Sabine.

    It's been confirmed i think but not sure it's started. Don't forget of corse there's a german one too where they did a competition against them in the last series.

    The carbon copys will never be as good.

    I use to hate Mondays at school but know they don't affect me as much as i work all days and hours. Got to be up at 3 tommorow.

    But Top Gears always good. Give me something to look forward to.

    I'm still waiting for it to come onto BBC Iplayer. What's the bet that they don't put it on D:

    Was good. The acting is getting annoying a bit now though. Get off the script and speak, people.

    they always take bloody ages to put the decent programs on, but they take about 14.1 ns to put the absolutely crap ones on!

    I enjoyed it, wasn't the best but it was pretty good.

    I would like to know the GT2's time though

    Had to be a brick wall for JC, and loving his stealth truck

    Must be his stealth paint left over from the porsche.

    Although he didn't go as far as the windscreen before......

    Brilliant show, funniest for me though was when Clarkson pulled up with his lorry on fire.

    Re: New Top Gear Series Tonight! (2/11/08)

    Always been a big fan of Top Gear, some seriously funny moments of purile humour that appeals to something quite basic and primitive in us all.

    However, for some reason I kind of felt that the whole ramming a truck into a brick wall stepped over a bit of a mark for me. I'm not sure, it was the footage of seeing Clarkson actually getting fairly badly hurt (which, yes, should always be something to laugh about) made me think, "Well that was just stupid, what a cock"

    I guess I'm kind of feeling that Top Gear is approaching jumping the shark. I love it, I love the humour and I love the presenters but it just feels like they're running out of ideas now and will do pretty much anything to get a laugh.
