Got to admit I enjoy watching it. Had some great cars on the last episode,

lexus LFA, 600HP Fiesta Rally car, and briefly a v10 R8 Audi.

(Hopefully they will test the R35 GTR soon).

They are funny enough.

The AUS Top gear is painful.

I think its the aussie accent, it sounds uneducated, the 3 of them look stupid, and aren't witty enough for what the show needs.

Because I like cars I still watch it, but regret it afterwards- like you would after picking up a fat chick.

So i watched all the episodes over the past week, and its fantastic. They have a lot of their own challenges and ideas, and most importantly, its rarely boring and always funny.

Their guests leave a bit to be desired, but who really gives a shit about that anyway

its also nice that they give the brits shot about their cars

It's a damn nice change to see a postiive thread about USA Top Gear for a change. I was opening this thinking "great... here we go again... biggot central" but I was so glad to be wrong!

The US version is fantastic! I've seen every episode to date so far. Watching them in order helped me get into it a lot too, as you can see them from the very start sort of fumbling a bit, then finding their perfect rhythm to make the show really entertaining.

I don't know if anyone agrees, but the three hosts seem to be very similar to the three UK hosts personality wise (like, if the three UK guys grew up in America, that's pretty much what they'd be like), so it keeps that same sort of dynamic going, but we get a totally different spin on things.

I'm glad they seem to have moved Tanner more to the front as the "main" host. He's the most entertaining and knowledgable of the group, and seems more comfortable in front of the camera.

I've had just as many laughs from two seasons of this Top Gear that I get from two seasons of the UK Top Gear.

I dont think there is too much in common with the UK and US hosts. The only equivalent host would be Ferrara and seems to put it on a bit. Given time i think he'll come into his own.

With Tanner on the show, i like that the stig is only really a lap time guide. Never really been a fan of that aspect.

Look forward to them doing more car reviews and less challanges. Selfishly i suppose, i want to see more of the Aventador

I've downloaded all of Season 2 (and love it) via bit torrent, but can't seem to find anywhere to download Season 1, anyone got any links ?

I got my season one (720p) via torrent from the pirate bay (I found it via google search).

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
