glad you had fun....horrible version of the original though lol

Rich J · August 31st, 2011, 02:38 AM

Still pretty cool though. I would love nothing more than to sit down and drink a beer with Jeremy Clarkson while talking cars.

ORLY?

This season is better than last. I think that each player is finding his niche, and they are more comfortable with each other than season 1. However, Clarkson can be very snarky and that's something that you either enjoy or detest, but none of the members of this group exhibit that quality. Of the three, Rutledge seems to be the weakest link, but he makes a good foil for the others, kind of like May on the original. I think the show will improve with time if they get the opportunity.

To be honest, I haven't even really sat down to watch any of the episodes of the season lol

Its a work in progress. Look up the original episodes of the UK versions, they may be even worse than the US Top Gear. Comparing a show with nearly 20 seasons to a brand new show isnt exactly comparing apples to apples. Season 2 is much improved over the first, think itll get better in time.

Clarkson went out after testing the Ford GT...and bought one...it appeared a few times during a series or two...Hammond loves mustangs with a passion (in fact he owns a beautiful Gen 1)...and May loves Camaros ...they also use a chevy as a track car for their stars (at least for a few series)

yes they do hate on American cars sometimes, but can you blame them? they're normally driving super & hyper cars....
