I never thought I'd see the day Clarkson would ever like a Corvette but the ZR1 is a no brainer. I thought the R/T sounded great but they should have got a manual instead of an auto, still cool though. LMAO when they revved their engines and set off the car alarms, then stopped by the cop. Fun videos.

When they shot this film I don't think the manual was available yet.

This was an awesome video; I saw it when it first came out.

Only thing that pissed me off was when Hammond couldn't do the burnout with the Challenger.

Very cool

I've only watched the first one so far. What kind of homo complains about his Caddy having too much HP?

I also LMAO when Clarkson said, "You can't have a Corvette in England, it's like showing up at the queen's garden party in chrome cowboy boots and chaps!"

I've watched them all now, great stuff! I was thoroughly entertained. They did pretty well at Bonneville, after they got the hang of it. That stuff ain't easy.

Yup,

TOP GEAR... I love their show. Its very entertaining.

Its a BBC production, but you can download it offline. I am pretty sure I've see every episode.

You have to take what Jeremy Clarkson says with a grain of salt. They like to crap talk Americans and their cars, but if you watch enough episodes you realize its all in good fun.

Lately every American car they step out of; they get out with a smile on their face.

No,

It just says the file cannot be found.

I right clicked... saved... and then opened...

and I didn't have any luck.

Just saw part 1, you tube is not all that clear. Otherwise it looks the the beginning of an interesting episode.

Just watched the entire thing. As usual it was totally awesome.

Why can't we have more TV like this in the U.S.



Still though, My favorite episode was the first American holiday (Camaro, Cadillac, Ram).
