Good to see the S2000 appreciated. I think Clarkson was a fan; there's a video somewhere of him comparing the S to an Elise and concluding that he would rather have the S.
S in it. One where it is tracked by the Stig against a BMW and a Boxter. It came in last in time, but somehow you get the feeling that it is still the best car.
There is another older one where it is drag raced against the last model Triumph. It's pretty funny. The Triumph just kills it till about half way down the track when the Triumph self-destructs. (this reflects my youthful experience with the GT6+, It wasn't a vehicle so much as a temporary housing for new engines and transmissions and a full time hobby if you did valve timing youself.)
There is an American version of Top Gear now and its not nearly as good as the British one. Why can't Americans make a car show that doesn't suck?

I love it here but probably for reasons different than yours. Thanks for being average.

The Brits in this TV show take car reviews to another level. They make it interesting. For reasons that are intangible and are hard to duplicate without a lot of the British culture - which we don't have anymore. Sort of lost that shortly after we kicked their butts.
