Hehe, yup, I love that show. You Brits seem to have figured out how to
do that sort of show "right", Top Gear (and the one I like even more
"Fifth Gear") are FAR better then any equivalent show I've seen produced
over hear across the pond (there is a small Canadian show called
"Motoring 2005" which is very good, but the local station moves the time
it's run so much I barely catch it anymore).

Anyone see the 5th Gear episode where they investigated the question:
Who is the worse driver, one who is smashed, or one who is high? The
answer may surprise most. TTYL
