Rut would have picked an XJ, but his huge head would not fit in it.

just finished the episode. they started out looking for the best winter beater for $2000. the final conclusion was that the 2013 bentley continental is the best. seems legit.

the toughest truck episode was cool. aside from that the american version is just an awful ripoff of the original. the hosts have no chemistry and they really don't come up with any of their own stuff.

Maybe XJs sell for more than $2000 there. I imagine that blazers would be cheaper.

I like the american version. Funny stunts, cool cars, i like the characters...
Of course it's a rip of of the Original BBC program but who cares it's directed to an american audience.

Your not one of those "don't see the movie, read the book. It's sooo much better" guys are you?

Top Gear Uk is a lot better especially the newest Africa special is the funniest thing I seen in years from them, but the USA one is nice because it takes place here and they put a slight american twist by using trucks and what not. Next's weeks USA one looks like its off-roading since they are all using some lifted vehicles.
