Anyone watch Top Gear last night?

Nice to see this show on US television. Discovery Channel, 10 PM eastern. Had a bunch of 70-80 year old grannies doing donuts in an S2K, and a guy driving to the top of a mountain in a Range Rover.

Best show on TV. I was surprised with how much Jerremy loved the Ford GT. I mean he gets to drive cars made by Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo, etc, and he was really taken by the GT. Maybe us yanks actually can build a decent car.

the british version is better than ours, because with ours they have to go back and edit some of the dialogue. its still pretty cool that they brought top gear over here, instead of attempting to start a new series produced over here. that would be a disaster

I liked the episode where they tried to kill a toyota truck. And then the second one where they dropped it with a building. And it STILL ran. Top gear is great. I tivo it at all times. Saw last nights s2k episode too. Wish it was me doing donuts in one.
