I have just seen the Albanian mafiosa one

Where they compare the Rolls Royce Ghost with the Merc and the Bentley.  They go to Albania and Bentley refuse to send them one and Clarkson ends up with a Yugo  :zoinks:

...and the word 'car' translates to gentleman sausage  :hahaha:

It's a good one.

And last night I saw the one where Clarkson let the Renault Espace have a close encounter with a train.

I've watched a lot of the clips on Youtube. They can be pretty amusing. I liked the bits on the Reliant Robin and the Marauder. And the road trip in Alabama was hilarious. :D

And yes, the US version is boring. Why would you start out a show like that with a "competition" between three boring pick up trucks? Are they trying to be Motor Trend in TV show form?

Ah yes, train encouters.  My Grandma Minnie would load up the grandkids in her Merc (in the 1950's) and take a ride in the "country".  She'd look for trains to race over the railroad crossings.  It was scary for us, but in retrospect I'm certain the train were further away than they seemed to be.  I'm sure however that she caused quite a few early retirements among the train crews.

The first episode of the second series was on BBC Entertainment last night. It was James May's first appearance.

My TV watching is limited.  I've caught them perhaps 5 times.  I wouldn't go looking for them deliberately, but they're okay if nothing else is on that I want to watch.

I know, laughing is healthy.

Yesterday I was too tired to enjoy it.

Will watch next week, with the offspring. Great way to end the week with a marathon Top Gear evening.
