wth was up with the segment on the rx8, I have the british version of that episode on my pc, they edited it horribly for the american version. Where he says its the best car he's driven all year, and james basically asks him if he's sure, and he says yeah its a great car.... (the american version cuts), and then in the british version there is a, "but its this that and the other thing...." he goes on to dis it in proper top gear fasion...lol

the american version of this show is just rubbish, you miss all the good stuff.

I really liked the segment where he was in the Land Rover driving up that mountain... thats a cool truck.

And of course the granny donuts was pretty amazing too, lol. I think what had me laughing the most though was when they all had to buy those shitty cars and pass a bunch of tests.

I love those segments! I have a secret yearning to do the exact same thing with my brothers if I ever stumble across a couple extra grand

well, maybe not the crashing into a wall part, lol

Because it was not all left hand turns? Sad, but there is prolly some truth to the statement.

Crashing $150 cars into walls
parachuting into moving cars
Nun in a monster truck
