if I was catching shit about a leaf spring from a British guy I would just say, Land Rover Discovery. biggest pieces of shit on the road.

I really wish they would just air the original one; it's such an awesome show. Screw editing it.

the car is awesome (when it runs), looks great, but is a horrible piece of shit.[/quote]
Really?? Damn, that's always been one of my favorite cars; sucks to hear that . I know FTV had looked into buying one before his first Lamborghini.

I found this http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/ja ... feed=media

BBC Worldwide considered using UK hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, but Clarkson was reluctant to spend extended periods of time in the US.

I think this might be ok as BBC WA is doing it.

I have the BBC.

I wouldn't say their comments are anti-us, they just like to poke fun at everyone that does stupid stuff.

[J-Groove]

Wow, and surprise surprise I will still be downloading the new episodes as they air.

I'll still give this show a chance, but I doubt it will even hold a candle to the real thing.

Jeremy Clarkson strongly dislikes America...he makes comments on the show but he has other videos where he does it also and in interviews.

To quote Gordon Gecko from the movie "Wall Street":

"Like all Brits, he thinks he was born with a better pot to piss in."

And the Brits would say the exact same thing about Americans

[bosoxvr420]

I don't like too many British people. I have talked to the average Brit and listened to what some more important ones have to say about America. There is a consistent idea that everyone in America is a redneck and that we are arrogant. While that is true for a certain population of our Country, it is not for the rest. Personally I believe that most British people are pretentious.

[oxrageous]

The Brits have a FAAAAAR bigger reputation for being arrogant than Americans. They were that way for hundreds of years before the USA was even born. After the "spin-off", they were really pissed about it, and a lot of those feeling are still there 232 years later.
