Yup, discussed here a couple days ago.

yup yup, repostage, but I'll spare the jerkness that is "Dave's collection of forum pictures"

To this I will only say . . . .2nd Gear will be the best thing in the world when it finally starts!!!

My bad . I was super busy last week and didn't have time to check out this board.

no biggie, we've forgiven worse . . .LOL!

To be honest, I'm not all that upset. If they're just trying to copy the original, it's ok. We already have one of those. We don't need another. If they came up with an original idea for a show, then I'd be bummed.

GOOD I would hate to see a great show ruined, which is what american TV would do to it . Just not the same humor here.

after seeing some of the auzzie verson i'm not to sad we won't be getting our own version...

I bet it ends up on Speed or Spike or someplace else on cable.

Now featured on Speed! 24 consecutive showings of three separate (American) Top Gear episodes!

I think FX would be the best spot for it I mean really with It's Always Sunny, and Testees they could get away with more on that channel. But I agree Who would you like to see as a host. Adam Corolla cool, but who else?

After all that anticipation and hype. Pretty anti-climactic, actually.

Fist thing that came to mind when I heard the news

"BIG NEWS about the Dacia Sandero!"

"The what?"

"It's not coming to England!"

"Oh..."

Substitute US Top Gear for Dacia Sandero and you're dead on the money yawn
