I think where most of the bashers are going wrong is by comparing it to the UK top gear. NOTHING will ever be as good as the original (no offense Rut)
But if you take the original out of the picture, the American Top Gear as a good show. And, only being 3 episodes in and only one season under their belt, im sure they didnt quite go all out with their budget. I feel that the just kinda made this one happen to get the show out there and see how people react to it.
Rut is the bearded giant....
Rut-ro
Haters be cop'n y0 style

I think Rut, Tanner, and Adam are tackling the show with their own spin.
It's going great so far and I look forward to this being the benchmark for American car television.
REPS!!!
I'm enjoying the Top Gear US. It's growing on me the more ya'll get to spend time together. Where at first it was just seemed awkward at first that they give 3 guys different challenges I guess ya'll had to get comfortable with each other. It seems like the awkward faze has passed and ya'll are developing the same chemistry that the Nigels' have established. Kudos to you Rutroe, Adam and Tanner and I believe ya'll will be successful just keep doing what you do :goodjob:
BTW, are you really thinking about getting a SVT velocirapter?
Thanks dudes...glad you're liking it and giving it a chance to grow. I think the show gets better every week and I know we can take it where it needs to go in the future...
I really do want one of those Ford Raptors. They are a lot of truck for the money, and you couldn't build a comparable new F-150 for the money. I really love my Tundra, but I hope I can get one of these....plus, for 7 Grand, what Hennessey does really opens it up. I'm sure many people will say you can make that same power for a little less money, but if it doesn't void any warranty then I'd think about it.
I actually like the show overall. Some of the story lines are cooky, but then again it was entertaining to see a big boat Cady hit a jump and almost split in half. I got a chuckle out of that. My son and I watch it together. I like the diversity of the challenges, like a truck vs a skydiver or bikes vs hybrids. It makes it different. I didn't agree with you using Krylon on a LEXUS, but that's because I feel that's a relative to blasphemy.....lol.
Keep on keeping on brotha! With as many truly pathetic wannabes around here, I'm sure a lot of the haters are just jealous because they're not hosting a Nationally televised show. Hell, I would be......IF I didn't have a life.
I can't believe you post on here lol (I've been away over a year). I like the show a lot man but some of the skits are very "deja vu" if you know what I mean. I'm sure it's to get the show off the ground. So far my biggest concerns have been put to rest. Chemistry among the host. The line up is working really well. Thanks for bringing the show to the US and I've watched every weekend so far. Keep up the good work.
Adam F. is starting to grow on me.

now onto my post...
The show is getting better... Adam is really growing on me and Tanner's boyish shyness seems to work (maybe I like little boys and wanna bang him, who knows)... YOU seem to be the weaker link in the show. I don't know if it is your nerves or stress or what.. but watching you do interviews is ROUGH!!! You had tim allen on the show and that was the best you could do.. really? And when you were driving with adam it seemed like you could not drive and hold a conversation at the same time. And FWIW, I can't either.. ask anyone who has ridden with me!.. but, I am not trying to launch a multi-million dollar TV show.
Now, maybe some of it is editing, but seriously, relax dude.. have a sandwhich and warm glass of milk and chill.. you are doing what 1,000,000 of us WISH we could do. You could be fired tomorrow, so be yourself and have some fun.. and if this is you being yourself and having fun..... well then I guess nothing needs to be done on your part.
And FWIW.. I am on the waiting list for show tickets.... so ya'll are doing something right!
Look up some of his stand up. I find his older stuff is funnier.Quote:

Overall I like the show. Out of all the guys on the show you always seem to be the one that has the most character best....jokes i guess you could say not sure how to put it. I absolutely loved your segment on the Aston's which is actually where that bit about Clarkson comes in. It's been a long time since the U.S. Market has had a quality automotive show and I'm glad we have something now worth watching. Keep up the good work Rut! Hope I have a chance to run into you again and i can actually introduce myself.
I want the Members Only jacket that he got for the Lexus. That's a $3K Members Only jacket! Rut, when does the bidding start on the jacket?
SOUNDS LIKE A TRAPPPPPPPPPQuote:

Alot of times it seems way too scripted like the whole cast is trying too hard to be funny but such is american tv....what can ya do? I like the show and keep up the good work guys!
i love that damn show
People talk bad about this show, but its entertaining and a helluva fun show to watch :goodjob:
man i love that show. they went to alaska on the one i saw last night. i dvr that every new episode
Ok rut, its getting slightly better. Happy?
Haha ! Thanks man. And thanks to everyone else who watched the first season.
A guest spot would seal the deal for me to watch it more often. Or just free tickets.Quote:

Pink's isn't the same type of show so it really isn't competition per say
loving it so far man. i was kinda iffy at first, as was everyone else, but it has grown on me. thumbs up! :goodjob:
what i want to know, is who makes all the cool stuff for the cars you use? i know you didnt make that cabin. lol
My only complaint is that the Dodge has a 5.9.... NOT a 5.7 Rut lol. The show has really began to grow on me. I actually set it on my DVR now. I caught it mid season but I'm really looking forward to the next season.
The last actual episode with the trucks was the best IMO. If they were all done that well this show would be much better. Ill admit, at first I didnt like it, and I still dont like Adam, but its getting better.
Totally! I apparently didn't get enough sleep when I did that VO...I mean, shit. I know it's a 5.9...that's a 360, not the smaller 318. You should have seen my face when that hit air. You can't sweat the small stuff, but I won't let something like that happen again, that's for sure.Quote:

^^ I was laughing my ass off when I saw that episode. That log cabin was wild and it got real funny when ya'll took it down the road and the shingles where blowing off it. I think that between the 3 of ya'll, you're the most lovable character. I can't compare you to the "Nigel's" but you do bring something different to the show. Keep up the good work :goodjob:
Speaking of which, I think I passed you up oneday on my way to work on 285 E. I was getting off at the Riverdale Rd exit.
Any word on a second season yet? I'm guessing yes...
First season kept improving. When will the second season be airing?
i wanna see a TGUS invades UK AND Crashes their episode it would be classic
So the TGUK season "started" on the BBCA last night and they also talked about NASCAR and moonshine...
It's all part of the New World Order's scheme I think.
