    They did a great job casting younger Jezza, May, and Stig.

    But why did they have Hammond play himself? #topgear

    I upgraded my cable for the express purpose of seeing Top Gear again. Of course, I told the spouse it was to get the arty stuff on BBC and some science channels and movies, y'know, because of complaints that such were lacking in our very low tier cable set up.
    Top Gear. It's easily worth 50 cents a day to me. #topgear

    @I can be stig?: They're usually between six months to a year behind, and the episodes they show are heavily edited. Their version of the vietnam special cut out all kinds of classic moments, to shoehorn what was a 70 minute episode into the 45 minute american time frame. #topgear

    PVR is set up to record every episode and i filter it out... trust me torrenting it is way better, you miss so much in the 15 minutes that they cut out

    if you aren't sure if your media player(windows media player) will play it, download VLC, it will play everything... #topgear

    @electricarchie: I wish they would have just set up BBC America like HBO. I would gladly pay the extra money for BBC America without the adverts and massive Top Gear series delays. If I can get 8 HBOs why can't I get one BBC America without the adverts. While on the subject why do they have the Top Gear series delays. They were able to show Torchwood Children of Earth only a week after the UK premier. #topgear

    Top Gear is stupid. There's no other word in all the dictionaries of the world, to better define it. It's just simply, totally stupid. And their so called "british humor" is at least 60 years old and it's rejected by all the present sentient humanity. Britain excepted, of course. #topgear

    @FantozziUgo: You have to realize a very large percentage of people here consider Top Gear the best car show... in the wurld! Just like diesel engines, v8s, manual gearboxes, Steve McQueen, Alfa Romeos, Citroëns with hydropneumatic suspension and some other things I'm forgetting are considered almost godlike here. Bashing those might create some hostility. #topgear

It's just simply, totally brilliant. And their obvious "british humor" is very fresh and happily accepted by all the present sentient humanity. Especially Britons."

    For those of you that are Simpson's impaired, the inspiration:

    Herb Simpson: "Hang up, call me back, and say the exact opposite of everything you just said!"

    Lead engineer (on phone): "Uhhh, Homer Simpson is a...brilliant man who has come up with many...well-thought-out, practical ideas, and is insuring the financial future of this company. Oh, and his personal hygiene is beyond reproach." #topgear

You said you were new here, so I thought I'd fill you in on some of the popular opinions on this site that you don't necessarily find to be popular elsewhere. You should say what you want to say, really. But people tend to accept different opinions easier if they are funny, witty, or in some other way interesting.

    ...in the wooooorld, and their autoerotica is simply stunning. It is a show that excites and enthralls, amazes and awes, entertains and enlightens, stuns, and stirs.

    I do apologize for my earlier, radical, Clarkson-esque comment, welcome to Jalopnik, but do watch what you say about Top Gear around here.

    The F1 sets from Ferrari are top notch, wish they would make more of them. I always wanted to make a MOC of a F1 race. Not that a person couldn't now by building their own cars and sticker sets, but LEGO released sets would be so much better.
