Man I wish we could get Top Gear here in the states, I simply love that show and think without a doubt that Tiff Needle is one of the best automotive journalist around. His ability as a driver is simply amazing IMO. Anyone else get an occasional craving for Top Gear, I'm pretty sure I've downloaded every top gear video out there on the net .

 

Yeah, love it too!

We get it here sometimes on BBC World.

You are right, Tiff is an excellent driver, I wish I had half the talent he does.

 

If you havent watched them, get them here:

Tiff rules! He does have an amazing skill with cars, who else can drive like such a complete hooligan nutter and keep it on the black stuff I remember watching footage of him doing a full 360 degree handbrake turn at ~ 50 mph in an Impreza... he never deviated from a straight line down the track!

The Top Gear office had to keep having collections to replace the rear tyres on their long-term test M-Roadster as he kept burning them up doing donuts

 

I'll never forgive that pratt for nearly killing Nigel Mansell when he drove in a saloon car race. Nigel Mansell was toying with the idea of returning to professional motorsport (Touring Cars).
Lets just say that crash put him off

 

You're kidding me right Andy??? Our Nige had a huge tank slapper on waaaayyy before Tiff got involved, you don't hang the ass end of a FWD car that far out and get it back, even if you are Nigel Mansell

Speaking of our Nige, did you see that little altercation he got caught up in at the 2 seat F1 race doh!

(By the way I think NM was a truly great F1 driver, Il Leone will always be repected by us Tifosi, Brummie whinging and all )
