for those interested. I've enclosed the schedule for the series, dates erroneous because it's listed for BBC UK.
BBC America schedule obviously is different and the US season premier was this past Monday. <ul><li><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/episodes/series10episode1.shtml">Schedule</a></li></ul>

Default What's so cool about Top Gear...

...is that they blend corny stuff and humor into the show. My wife actually WANTS to watch it with me. First time EVER for a car show.

The last episode (finding the world's best road) was awesome, and the two we watched before that (the homemade limos and the $1000-tour-of-the-US-South) were what really got her hooked.

Maybe we'll order an R8 after the next show...

Well, I can dare to dream...RS4 maybe?

Regards,
Joel

Default LOL...only 5 months behind the original air date on BBC UK.

you know you can download the shows the same day they air in the UK, right? And no commercials. Same for Fifth Gear. Downloading a show and burning it to DVD usually takes me about 15 minutes total....better than waiting 4 months.

Finalgear.com is great...you just put the mouse pointer over the episode, and a box pops up with the contents of that particular episode.

Default Clarkson did the RS4 in 2007...

Called the engine "biblical", or was it "nuclear bomb under the hood"? I don't quite remember.

I don't think it's as good as the segment "3 Supercars in France". Watching the crew trying to exit the Parisian garage was hysterical.

Default that episode originally aired 11/20/05 in the UK.

more recently, there was a head-to-head-to-head with the new M3, C63, and RS4, which aired 12/23/07 in the UK.

Default Yup, my GF and I watched it Monday.

I had already seen it, but never mind watching Top Gear reruns.

She appreciates the humour, and enjoys car stuff to an extent It's probably the British side of her.
