Top gear road trip across America

Not sure if this should be here or in cars but did anyone else see it?

Was that incident in the hick town a joke?!

It was hilarious.

It looked pretty real to me. I bet they get a heap of complaints tomorrow. The whole cow business was pretty weird

Is there a website where it can seen? I saw those 2 episodes a couple of years ago where they tried to kill a diesel Toyota pickup truck (Hilux), that just wouldn't quit. Hilarious.

Funniest TV out there in my opinion! Had me laughing out loud - that cow nearly finished me off!

It was a bit dodgy about the cow. That cow must have weighed about 400-500kg, i'd like to see how they got it on the roof!!

I have to be honest I was really really horrified by the state on New Orleans - it is more than a year after Katrina and it still looks like a 3rd world country!!!

I was more horrified by the attitude of the lawyer after they tried to give the cars away.

There are TORRENTs of websites out there.

THE legality of PIRATEing programmes is of course, dubious - even in the beautiful BAYs of Sweden.

I couldn't possibly point you in the right direction, and I certainly wouldn't provide you with links, even if you PMd me.

Cheers,
WMM

Nor would I even dare ask for such a thing.

We recorded it on Sky+ and watched it last night when I got home from work. One of the best episodes yet. Loved the car shower, and the rear mounted bbq looked brilliant. Good use of the CB keeping Clarkson on the road in the rain!
