I used to watch it - great show.

Basically Plexihost, they take various different cars, test their limits. Usually they're comparing two or more cars together.

When I used to play BF2 years ago there was a parody of BF2 & TopGear in which the announcer from TopGear tried to outrun a tank using his jeep. Really cool parody and worth a look - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slODrOoBfVo

A really cool REAL episode - Lotus versus Apache Helicopter - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47olPQvZNXo

Ok, I've seen it before. That Lotus episode is definitely cool.

For some reason the name just didn't ring a bell.

In my taste, two episodes stand out:

Any with Bugatti's involvement, especially Bugatti Veyron versus Fight Jet.

and the one when they take Bentley Flying Spur (the fastest sedan in the world) for a test drive in Dubai.

I think one of the best ones they did where the football and winter olympics but the space shuttle took the biscuit

WOW - REALLY nice find with the Space Shuttle! Would have been nice for a separation. I'm surprised it even got THAT far!

That was precious all right!

I don't watch them all that often, but I did see a few shows. Not being much into cars myself, it's a performance that they managed to keep me watching.

I'm watching every Sunday and Saturday on my TV. I love cars so I really like this show.
