Top Gear is a UK car show, hosted by three chaps. Its quite well done and funny. They dont just review cars, they do challenges and travel all over the world. Its all very funny stuff. By request Ive included some videos.
Top Gear goes to america
Here they stared in Miami, had to buy a car for $1000 US that would take them through challenges and to New Orleans. Its gets a bit scary for them in the second video.
Top Gear in Vietnam
They have limited money to buy a motorbike and get from the south of Vietnam all the way north to Hanoi. I have the whole episode here, and its a great one.
Beware, in this episode they talk about the war alot, and American involvement. I dont want any political arguments in this thread at all.
I love this show. The race in Tokyo was fantastic.

Found a site that has all the Top Gear episodes streaming for free. I got really into the show because they had a couple episodes on Comcast OnDemand, but then they pulled them. Glad I found another way to watch. This site even has a version of the page designed for use with the PS3's browser!

It's interesting that this gets some attention in North America, it is a very good show though. Top Gear's been on UK tv for years, not sure exactly...just checking wikipedia...well according to Wikipedia since 1977. Originally it was pure car spec's and test drives, but in 2001 they changed the show completely adding the humour and the banter between the three hosts. It's probably one of the most watched show's on UK tv, every member of my family watches it. It's a shame if you can't get the vietnam episode, i'm sure American's would find the scooter the three of them are threatened with funny.
