Holy crap that means it's on RIGHT NOW!!!

 

yep, tho the RX-8 isn't on til 9 CST ...

 

They'll show the 8 at 9 central time? According to dish's info it says they're gonna show lambos at 9...

 

hmmmm....my cable says its at 9. It also says the "NEW" show on now is so new they won't give me info on what is actually being discussed.

This is what mine says:
7pm CST Repeat (2005) Ford GT and Land Rover Discovery
8pm CST New (2006) Listing only says "Cars are reviewed and road tested."
9pm CST Repeat (2005) Lambo Miura, Countach, Gallardo, MAZDA RX-8, Smart Roadster

 

The rerun about the RX-8 is on right now. What was on the new episode?

EDIT: looks like they are playing the three episodes again at 10 central.

 

lol what kind of discovery channel do u guys have? cause my discovery channel says it'll be daily planet 8-9 extreme engineering 9-10 and dirty jobs 10-11 lol.... shouldn't the discovery channel be the same in north america? i know they're different for asia...

 

i would think the NA channel would be the same ... hmmm

 

I've been watching and recording all of them. Great stuff. The grannies doing donuts in an S2K was hillarious! Even funnier were the people mover racers.

FYI...the Brits got their Toyota Previas with a mid engine design.

 

Sorry about that, it looks like most of the shows were repeats. My tv report said they were new episodes. It is hard at times for me to tell. I download the British episodes and most of the stuff they were showing last nite was about 2/3 years old. The Discovery Channel episodes are also a kind of mix and match of the British version. Example: the RX8 segment was first on the British version and cut to hell. Also the British version spend about 15 minutes on having British celebrities, most of whom I never hear of, on the track with a "Reasonably Priced Car" and posting their times.

 

I am just hoping that they are going to be showing them every Thrusday night again. They have some new Thursday night lineup, I forget what they called it. But I was surfing the TV last night while eating dinner, and saw it was on, the one with the Carrera GT and the F-40, so immeditaly set the DVR up for it. Love that show, and don't mind watching reruns either.

 

Saw a few shows last night. All of them we reshot with a live audience for America, but the clips were from different British episodes. So they weren't entirely new for ppl who watch the British series regularly.

Here's a bit of scoop for y'all. Top Gear is soon gonna have an American version with American hosts and its gonna be shot on the west coast and they are gonna review cars sold in America. This is going to be for the Discovery channel part of which is owned by the BBC.

Can't wait to see it though I personally don't think it'll even be half as good as the British version.

 

What's the point in that? The best part about watching that show is to hear Jeremy Clarkson say "saloooooon" and "aluuuuuuminum" and "petrol" and other British-isms that just make me giggle. Part of the shows appeal is the fact that he's a giant ******.

But, even so, I'd watch it. The alternative, Car & Driver TV sucks so much. They do such waterdown impersonal superficial reviews.

 

yeah it'll probably end up being pretty bad like most of the British television shows that are reshot here for an American audience.

 

i agree, part of the show, is his ego and attitude. it wont be the same without his squealling while driving a brutal car flat out. his review of the Koenigsegg was awesome, I hoep the DVR got that one, but I doubt it.

 

American version of Top Gear - shoot me. A watered-down PC shadow - at best.

Wonder which car they will use in "the star in a reasonably priced car"

 

And here's an exclusive for RX8club.com members.

A Picture of the American presenters!!!

 

The one on the right is probably Johnny Fairplay from Survivor!

 

no hott chicks on the show!!?!!??!? =(

 

you don't see hot chicks on the British Top Gear either, do ya?

 

I don't watch Survivor, but I did see him on a celebrity poker match on some program. He was an ***.

 

I'm an *** ...

 

 

Thought i was dreaming. It was a great show, not watered down at all.
