I just watched an episode of Top Gear USA, got nothing on the British version but it featured a Ford truck with [url= ]the biggest Fox dampers I have ever seen[/url]

[url= http://www.mechanikong.com/autos/trucks/2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor-6-2l-v-8/ ]The truck[/url]

Not exactly exciting but I thought I would share that with you.

At least Clarkson isn't on it, its only redeeming feature.

oh good, another "we hate Top Gear" thread has morphed from a "look at the cool stuff some people might like"

back to the truck:

When the lottery win comes in, I plan on buying one of these for short trips to the Greenpeace meeting:

I love Top Gear, the only people that don't are estrogen dominant.

A bit set up, but the episode when they had a AH-1 attack helicopter chasing them around town in a dodge viper was great entertainment.

First up, it's spelled 'oestrogen', and second, do you wear chaps a lot and have a nice moustache?

...No oestrogen there..

Like the UK version, think the USA version is just about the worst thing on TV.

I actually quite like the US version... They don't take themselves too seriously, and they get to play with lots of expensive toys... What's not to like?

Anyway, that Raptor is the bomb! I've seen a couple kicking around and they are very nice indeed! They tested the 600HP supercharged version, but Hennesy now have a 800HP twin turbo variant of the 6.2L... If i suddenly found myself with a spare $75,000 i'd be tempted... I should point out that I already drive a F150 that gets horrible economy, and could happily live with the downsides of the Raptor...

Did they manage to find three cocks as big as the three that present it here?

Oh is Clarkson on it? Cock.

Is it all post-modern ironic like it is here? You know doing stupid stuff because it's stupid?

I find the USA version boring compared to the UK one.

I watched Top Gear USA to make cutural comparisons with the UK. As far as I can see, its a case of 'similar language, different universe'. For example, all members of the public in their films don't have any faces - they're aliens I tell, you, ALIENS!!!(err, probably)...

I found it all a bit odd, different personalities interpreting the same script differently rather finding their own strengths and playing to that.

Well, they gave us McDonalds so it was only fair to give them something insipid, mediocre and banal in return. 🙂

To be honest, your spelling of (o)estregen, even if it was wrong, would have been the [i]least[/i] stupid thing about this post.

That's a pwning right there. 😆

But wait!

Oh dear. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion. 🙁

Entertaining though.

Being american, I think I have the right to spell it how I was brought up to spell it, don't you?

Yes, I spose you have the right to be wrong....

Do you live in the UK, or in the US?

There should be a full stop after 'muppet'.

And it's an American version of something British.
So, obviously, it's now worse than it was before.
See also Punk, chocolate, team sports, healthcare, democracy etc. 😉

Capital letter for 'american' (sic) surely?
Aren't you proud of your country and its wonderful television programmes? 🙂

Meh, rather have a Bowler Nemesis. That would have beaten the Ford Pickup 🙂

Flow in regards to Fox do you know how it all started? No great suprise really seeing them on a truck.

Do you think the truck shocks require servicing after every 15 hours of use? 😉

Don Simon, in this case, 'its' is correct, as it's is a contraction of 'it is'.

How anyone signed up to [u]Singletrackworld[/u] would have the gall to say Clarkson is a god is anyone's guess.
I don't go on Top Gear threads, but this one's quite funny (unlike Clarkson)

It was bound to happen sooner or later don. 😀

I'm going to give myself a very severe beating with this:

Then I'm going to sit in the corner and have a serious think about what I've done.
