Top Gear "people carrier convertible"
Did anybody else see this episode which was shown on BBCA last night? I hadn't seen it before but man, it's hilarious. The bit in the car wash was the best I thought. Definitely the funniest one I've seen yet

Yes, very funny.
I love BBCA just for top gear, even though jerremy is a loveable twat of a man.

They showed that one months ago. I wish BBCA would show new ones instead of constantly rerunning them.
Plus, they cut out around 10-15 minutes of the show to add commercials to it. You are better off watching them online so you don't miss anything. Very frustrating.

Did you see this weeks with the Veyron? It has an air brake like a bloody fighter jet.

Re: Top Gear "people carrier convertible"
Agreed. And yes, I wish they'd stop repeating the episodes over and over. The guy that took over the head of BBCA a couple of years ago was supposed to be trying to change the look, bringing on better quality programming like Waking the Dead, Touching Evil & Sea of Souls (CSI doesn't even get a look in on them in my book). They did that for a year or so, what's happened to them since? It's mostly crap stuff except for the odd good 'un in there now and then.

Driving to work this morning and saw a car with a Mass license plate that simply said "STIG".

It's the best show!
My favorites are the one where they turn normal cars into limos - really limos and the episode when they turn cars into boats.

Re: Top Gear "people carrier convertible"
Top Gear is on permanent record on the DV box.
One of the funniest episodes was a feature episode when they had to buy a car for the price of 2 weeks rental and drive from Floride to New Orleans.
They didn't quite understand the reaction that they would recieve in Alabama.
Oh boy, things are a bit different in the south!

^^^ That was a set up, apparently.
