All kidding aside, count me in as a big fan of TopGear, Fifth Gear and Wheeler Dealers. I really get a kick out out of how they (Mike and Ed on Wheeler Dealers) get excited about 2,000 to 3,000 "Quid" (whatever the heck that means) of profit after Ed China puts in about 3 weeks of blood sweat and tears of hard labor on a car Mike spends a day or two finding. Have to believe they make a heck of a lot more money putting on the show.
Wasn't sure if you were serious or not, but "Quid" is the same as British Pounds. What confuses me is that they interchange the terms seemingly on-the-fly for no apparent reason.

Think of how we might say dollars or bucks. ;)

I don't really watch Top Gear BBC, Clarkson is too much for me. Strange because I generally like British humor. (Brits ought to love how I mis-spelled that) Monty Python, Black Adder(w/Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Laurie) and Extras (w/Ricky Gervais) are my favorites.

Thats cool..I honestly don't know a single American that hates the UK (srs). I've literally never heard a dig on American TV about anything about the UK . We pretty much respect you guys and understand your differences with the war...
You meant the Irag war and not the war for independence right? :D

Part of the charm of UK Top Gear is they make fun of everyone including the Germans and even their own government. It's an entertaining show above all. Cars are sometimes secondary. You sort of watch it for laugh and shouldn't take anything personally.

I've always been a big fan of Top Gear, I love that they got involved in Forza as well.

one of my favorite reviews they've done was for the Fiesta relaunch.

You can have Wheeler Dealers if you want. I hate it! Although I do like some of the cars they do up. I would rather watch Lizard Lick Towing!
Wow, that's pretty extreme.. show is ok but seems staged..lol humorous to watch lizard lick
