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).

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
