I was wondering how long it would take for someone to post it up. That was awesome, now I have some ammunition for the boss at work. He loves ford.

good show, and a really good episode. I actually felt a good bit of pride seeing that Chevrolet win :metal:

Re: Anyone watching or watched tonight's top gear?
 
I knew someone was going to post about this! :lol:
I was a bit worried until I saw that it wasn't a 6.2 and it had a center bolt 350 in there, then I had total confidence in it. I was really expecting them to have something harder than what they put them through, and I wish he wouldn't have rammed the dodge with it.

He did. That's where the initial damage to the front of the P/S fender and hood.

I watched it and was thoroughly amused. I've caught the show a few times and am somewhat on the fence, but I think I like it-not your typical car show. I like Tanner Faust, but the other two dip$#!+s are there for comedic effect, I think. It is a similar formula for the original Top Gear, which I like despite their constant bashing of American cars and rediculous praise of overpriced British beaters. But hey, if they didn't exhault them, who would?
But yeah, I was proud too, that despite the unfair competition (I don't keep up with the used dodge truck market for obvious reasons, but that certainly didn't look like a $3000 truck) the old squarebody prevailed.

The first 2 episodes were awful.

It has gotten a lot better.

British version is of course better but it was around for awhile till it was as polished as it currently is.

I wasn't a fan of the US TopGear at all until this episode :metal:

Not a huge fan of the show, but made sure to catch this episode.The smurfside kicked ass. It never looked stressed one bit.

Re: Anyone watching or watched tonight's top gear?
 
I like the "guy with the glasses". He is just a red neck havin fun. Show kinda sucks but I still watch it... there arnt that many car shows to pick from. I liked how the chevy pulled right out of the ice at the end... It kicked ass.. TRUTHFULLY, the ford should of been a little stronger seeing as it was a 3/4 ton and all but I am glad the ****ty chevy won. I was worryed when he was talking about it beeing a 6.2....

Re: Anyone watching or watched tonight's top gear?
 
Glad the Chevy was a 350 instead of a 6.2. The Dodge was not a 5.7 Hemi - probably
a 360. I didn't think the Ford would last as it was pretty ragged & ground clearance wasn't so good. Loved it when the big guy lost his house & the chevy ran over it !!
I busted a gut on that one!
It was a Funny show & I was amazed at how well all those trucks did ! Best Episode yet!
