He is quite excited!

His excitement is enough to make you laugh, let alone the crazy Top Gear Challenge cars they encounter...

Uhmm, OK.

I guess I just don't understand getting that excited about a celebrity. They're just people with the job you wish you had.

Whoever said the Brits were reserved had never met that guy.

Ha! The dudes voice pitch was on a climb to helium land. Good stuff.

sorry but if I randomly saw clarkson, may, and hamster i'd be a little giddy myself... heck about a year before I moved here they drove though town (bagdad) in the miami to new orleans 1000$ challenge... just seeing that made me kinda freak out (not ina voice like those guys in the vid haha) but honestly... it's a brit show and they are driving though my little no where town... how kewl :)

why are the black bars on the sides of the shot? are British camcorders sideways or something?

In reply to novaderrik:

no but cellphones can be

...so British parents are just as annoying as American parents.

Gad, that was irritating.

Yeah, I was wondering what was up with the goofy sideways letterboxing myself. And yes I'd be a bid giddy if I saw them, but I don't think I'd have to change my underwear after the fact.

Way to play it cool . I also love how you don't hear a peep out of the son.

That said, I'd be pretty damn excited to spot the TG crew, too.

Given the epidemic of anger that seems to pervade so much of the net, I find it refreshing to hear someone genuinely excited about an unexpected event in his life. It made me smile. I am looking forward to seeing what those contraptions they were driving are.

On that note, when does the new series air in the UK (and illegal inteneting)?

What the hell did the Top Gear crew do to that poor Lotus Excel?

I think it's hilarious how excited the dad was getting. If I were in their position, I think I would have the same reaction as the mom...just, excited! It is pretty cool though :)
