Top Gear

The British Top Gear, with James May and Richard Hammond, is by far the most successful show on the BBC. The chemistry between them is just superb, and that ain't the thing here, or in 5th Gear, or even Top Gear USA or Australia. What they established is a chemistry that's very rare to find, imagine having 3 co-hosts hate each other but respect each other, that's the Top Gear we know. But this is still a good show for any Car enthusiast, but it's not as fun as Top Gear UK, and it's not funny either. The enthusiasm, the joy the laughter you get from Top Gear UK doesn't exist here or in 5th Gear. They're more about technical stuff and let's be honest it's boring.

Why I mentioned 5th Gear, well, after this show they split up, some went to 5th Gear and some basically restarted Top Gear, that's when James May and Richard Hammond joined in and made history.

Top Gear in its current state may not be at its peek, but it is still certainly a cut above the other motoring programs. Driven had a good atempt, but its still no cigar. Top Gear recently celebrated its 21st birthday, and personally i cant wait for its 42nd birthday celbrations. Tiff Needell is possible one of the best drivers ever (just listen to the priase at the beginning of his 'Fast and Furious' video) VBH was drafted in at first just too prvide some eye candy, but has now proven that she can hold her own against the boys. Jeremy, is sadly now absent from the current TV line up, as is the doggy Mr. Wilson, but Jason Barlow does a half decent job of takne his place. Steve Berry, the motorbike guru, has also gone on to pastures new, and his Andy Kershaw style is sadly missed. Great program, keep going.

Top Gear is another kind of cars magazines. It´s made by professionals that really love the cars. And Tiff Needle is an excelent driver and his test are the best of each issue... The information is very complete considerating it´s only 30 minutes weekly...... GREAT!
