<VV> TOP GEAR/ MOST DANGERIOUS CARS

[aeroned at aol.com]

Yeah but find the bit the Brits did on the Renault Robin or the one on campers (what do the Brits call them?)

I like the original best, but I'm getting used to the US version. Ours seems to be more entertainment than car evaluation. I think the Unsafe piece will be just that, entertainment. I'm sure I'll be explaining Nader and the safety of the Corvair at work on Wednesday.

It's a show; it's all about theatrics; it's not about reality or 
ubstance; it's about ratings. I don't watch the US version at all 
ecause it's just stupid. It's a poor copy from the UK version which is 
ust as much about bantering between the actors as it is about cars and 
issing US cars.
The UK version has had its moments*, but it's pretty dumb as well. The 
est 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 
ulled...there have been law suits over this one)
smallest car (Peel P50)
Corvette Z06 (C6 and C5 episodes)
