<VV> TOP GEAR/ MOST DANGERIOUS CARS

[mark at noakes.com]

It's a show; it's all about theatrics; it's not about reality or 
substance; it's about ratings. I don't watch the US version at all 
because it's just stupid. It's a poor copy from the UK version which is 
just as much about bantering between the actors as it is about cars and 
dissing US cars.

The UK version has had its moments*, but it's pretty dumb as well. The 
best explanation is a few examples...

*Try to find the following Top Gear episodes on youtube:

Ariel Atom

Tesla Roadster (just tried to find it and had trouble...maybe it got 
pulled...there have been law suits over this one)

smallest car (Peel P50)

Corvette Z06 (C6 and C5 episodes)
