Yup! Nascarvision.... they run reruns of nascar races from 2 years ago all the time, in which they ALL look the same

but WRC races or anything like that? Nope! airs the day after the last stages are complete and that's it.

It was awesome ! For the past couple of week the Wrestler Goldberg was host a car show in the time slot. Me too, love the Porche 911 vs BMW 645 vs Jag XKR in the sand

I think that show ur talking about is in the History Channel isn't it? Other than that these episodes in the Disco Channel are 2 seasons old and the Koenningsegg is a very awsome car. They've replaced alot of things that only people who are picky (me) I think could of seen. The music, and removed some talking in order to shorten the time. Other than that I'm happy to see Top Gear here in the US and I bet these are trial runs to see if people like it but w/e. I hope they keep it on for good, its better than the 30min. version on BBC World or w/e its called.

I really noticed the cut downs though, like after the 645, Jag and Porsche sand run they talked about each car but not on discovery channel, ahh well, can't have everything, right? While on a sort of related topic, has anybody seen the most recent Top Gear episode? Am I the only one who thinks it sort of sucked compared to the rest of them? They didn't even review one car and the whole car vs. boat thing wasn't too exciting either.

I thought it was one of the coolest episodes [rofl] I like it when they do the "races"


Sure they might be very "hollywood" (as they say sometimes in the show..hehe), but i think it's interesting. Plus jeremy did look VERY tired...

Hmm, on further consideration maybe I didn't like the episode that much because a friend told me how it would end before I even started watching it.

I think the races are great too, I also love the budget challenges, that BMW vs Mitsu vs a Jag was just hillarious.

something seems to be missing from the eps. are they really 2 seasons old? i don't really keep up w/ dling the eps. (mainly because i don't know where to) i think i like fifth gear better, as top gear seems just too over the top (erm, no pun intended).

btw, top gear will be on at 10pm on Weds. fyi ^^
