Or it was blatantly a set up job ...

Or that, but the part in filmed in Miami was set in a really crappy part where (unsurprisingly) the used car dealer has a concealed handgun and a rifle.

I bet they had security guys off camera.

i just watched the video - and it is quite frankly appalling. firstly the BBC were idiots to do such a stupid thing in america, but what can you say about hicks - they are subhumans.

These Top Gear guys are so far up their own a***s it doesnt matter.
Clarkson doesnt have one good word to say about Toyota cars,which are one of the best selling ,and in consumer surveys one of the most reliable cars on the planet.
I watched the show and found it funny but the crap at the end about , do not visit the USA was out of order in my opinion.
The like to hear their own voices a bit to much for me im afraid.

No I dont live "here" thats why I am asking people about it who actually do-I dont know if I would even visit Florida but I am interested in the state and the US as a whole-I just want to know if Top Gears interpretation is accurate-What I can sense is it was set up in areas purposely chosen to create drama-I wouldn't want to live in a place that I felt threatened in-this is where Australia and England could win or is this wrong? What areas are good to bring a family to-I guessed Orlando was a tourist spot-where do the hurricanes hit! I other words what are the good areas that weren't shown on Top Gear!

Hurricanes can hit anywhere along the coast.

The entire state is safe excepting for a couple of pockets in Miami which is an extremely large city so you're not likely to wander into it.

I live in one of the larger cities, one of the larger metropolitan areas in the country, and there isn't a single 'bad' place that I haven't driven through at night. It is very safe.

Are you thinking moving or visiting?

Well visiting as we are moving to Brisbane in September-still I did grow up in California but I am British BUT my sister is American-I am quite international really-I would like to stay in Florida one day or maybe buy property or both-I would like to have a neutral country instead of the ongoing "war" between England v Australia-I am rather tired of it-plus I would like to give my art some chance (painter/installation artist)-but at least I feel I could come over and stay for maybe 3 months but I wanted to stay longer I would need permission to stay-I could apply to stay because of a sibling but I think that could take 10 years? what areas do u recommend-Fort Lauderdale? as for hurricanes didn't one hit just recently? where was that? I think it was Tampa?
