Last night I caught the very end of Episode 1 of Top Gear USA on BBC Three, so thought I'd catch up on the majority that I missed now.

Looks pretty good, literally taken the Top Gear concept and turned it American, but it's so similar! Down to filling old cars with water to see how much they leak, picking a car each and all arguing their's is best, racing cars against other forms of transport, make your own camper, various other challenges, car tests on disused runways, "Big Star, Small Car"...... you get the idea! Not as good as the original, obviously, but well worth a watch all the same.

Some great quotes so far (about a Lambo, I forget which one) "It's terrifying and exciting. Like being aroused at gun point." And (about a Dodge Viper) "It's like a mean horse, that doesn't like people sitting on it's back!"

Its made of cheese, American spray cheese. VERY unpopular out here, most people just watch the BBC version.
