Ok You Brit Motherfuckers, It's Owning Up Time
 
Which one of you toolbags has been responsible for keeping knowledge of Top Gear down in the states? I KNOW IT WAS ONE OF YOU AND IF I DON'T GET AN ANSWER I WILL NOT HESITATE TO SHUT THIS ENTIRE FORUM DOWN!!.

If some of my American (or other godblessedly Non-British) compatriots are confused as to what this 'Top Gear' is, I am not surprised and I don't blame you. The vile insidiousness of the disinformation campaign has only been exceeded by its overwhelming success.

It really needs to be seen to be believed, but imagine if you will a Mythbusters-esque programme where Adam is replaced by an awesomely deadpan snarker, Jamie is replaced by a short compulsive teeth whitener, the design team is combined into a nuerotic and bumbling mess, subtract all of the myth stuff, add a bunch of car stuff, rev it up to 6th gear, throw in a guy who is too awesome to even speak...and then I guess you'd end up with something entirely unlike Mythbusters, but is great entertainment.

...okay, who let Lumenskir in on the secret?

One of my favorite parts of the show were when they tried to kill a Toyota Pickup truck. They set it on fire, nearly lost it in the ocean, demolished a building while it was on top, as well as various other things, and it still worked.

It was awesome.

I loved the one in which the Bugatti Veyron competed against an airplane in a trip from Italy to London. It was awesome and I wish more programmes were like Top Gear.

actually I think I saw the first episode of this awhile ago

though I'm in the US so if they added it, I think its been here awhile

I think we've been hiding it because of the episode where they drive around the South in pink cars and nearly get killed.
Also the fact that they continually rag on American cars.

I remember watching Top Gear when it was shown on the Discovery Channel long ago. I practically fell in love with it instantly and was deeply saddened when it was taken off the air. From what I saw, the most memorable one was when the Lancer Evo went up against the bobsleigh.

Also, the one with the DB9 racing against the train was just hilarious.

Racing a plane was kinda funny.

Ah, so you finally discovered it eh? Yes, I can reveal, it was I, I who didn't tell you any of you fuckers about the awesomeness of the Gear!! And I would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for that meddling Lumen!! *Shakes fist in anger*

So yeah, Top Gear is pretty much one of the best things on tv. Like, ever. And we've been keeping it from you for years! So HA!

This is also very true, although I think I may have actually linked to this episode on youtube once, but everyone ignored it.

My favourites are the Arctic Special, and the one where they made aquacars. The Korean Heavy Duty Supercar VS boats in a race from Denmark to the top of Norway and the under 500 pound car(I think) race across England were awesome too.

I think my favorite 'inflammatory addition' during the down South episode was the 'Vote Hillary' part. The exaggerated impressions that non-Americans have of Americans is always made better by those impressions being mostly true (although I think I should feel hurt that when I went to Italy, an 'American pizza' was a pizza with two fried eggs and some bacon on it).

Right now, my favorite moment is when they're fucking around with the G-Wiz, which culminates in loading it up with ten times the battery power, making it remote controlled, and then using an actual RC car to blow it up.

Also, everyone should watch Top Ground Gear Force, if only to hear a brilliant dissertation on how the existence of the shed is fundamental to all of mankind's accomplishments.
