Re: Anyone watching or watched tonight's top gear?

I think the show was silly. Throttle jockey in the ford. if the guy in the dodge tied the battery down he might have made it . they never did open the hood when it gave up. i say the battery was in the radiator. An of course i like Chevy's .

Re: Anyone watching or watched tonight's top gear?

I'm a Chevy guy all the way, but it was bogus for the Ford to be taken out by a U-joint. That could have happened to any of 'em and isn't related to strength/durability of engine/tranny or the rest of the truck.
It sure was fun to see the Dodge bite the bullet, though. Cheap built POS.

British version is of course better but it was around for awhile till it was as polished as it currently is.
I agree! This show had me laughin my a55 off! It was the best one yet!! Tanner is THE car guy, the others are for entertainment. I've seen the English version and it's REALLY funny, but they've been doing it for many years! These guys are coming along well
