Top Gear has an episode where they drove from the south of Vietnam to the north on scooters and it's the best episode they have ever done. The country is so beautiful, even a veteran of the war couldn't stop talking about that rather than his time there. One of my life goals is to go to Vietnam on a giant scooter tour, trying food and seeing sights and learning history up close and personal.

Please give me money so that I may do that, thank you

The problem is that Top Gear has become an entertainment programme foremost. It's no longer a show about cars. It's a show about Jeremy, Richard and James acting like kids in the name of comedy. All the big segments with them trying out three different cars together, or racing across Europe... it's all totally staged and I'm bored with that now. It's getting so silly. It's like they are trolling the viewers to see how far they can take those segments before the viewers realise it's nonsense.
I say this as a Brit. It's sad to see the show go so far up its own arse.


I dunno, I'm not sure Top Gear (as it is now) was ever really about cars. The old Top Gear with Tiff Needell and the other boring guy who like a real estate agent was a proper motoring show, and frankly, it suffered the fate it deserved.

New Top Gear is an entertainment show that happens to focus on cars. The cars themselves are only marginally more important than science is on the Big Bang Theory.

And of course it's nonsense, but it's entertaining nonsense. You can't take anything they say seriously.

Except for one thing which they are totally right about.

Toyota Hiluxs are awesome.

Ok, I own a hilux surf and I love it. Toyota, give me free stuff!

One of my favorite all-time Top Gear bits. I like it so much that I sifted it over 2 years ago.
Mine's apparently dead right now, but that's easily fixed so dupeof=http://videosift.com/video/Top-Gear-salutes-Lancia .
I know @siftbot will kick this back, but still.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Eventually some company's going to get it - that national borders don't matter for this kind of thing.>> ^Gallowflak:

Because the BBC doesn't allow me, a British citizen, to pay for a TV license/subscribe to their programming from overseas. How many people from all over the world would be happy to pay to use the iPlayer? And suddenly all of their budget issues would vanish. Retarded.

Oops. Not sure how I missed it. Should I kill or let it be merged?
