    Default Top Gear Season duex.

    QD will probably move this to the entertainment section, but I'm on vacation right now so I can do what I want.


    Starts this Sunday... I can't wait to see our boy Rut in action again.

    That is all.

    I'm also pretty excited. By the end of the first season the show had improved incredibly. Hopefully Season 2 will build on that...

    In the meantime, whatever happened to his wagon thread?? (NO, I DON'T WANNA USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION! GIMME IT FOR FREEEZ NAHHHHHH)

    Meh, I'm more excited about the car show. Nothing against rutledge, its his co-hosts that kill the show for me.

    I've got the Car Show on the DVR as well. My biggest complaint so far is (in my opinion) they try to cram too much into one episode. Covering a 24hr Lemons attempt in a 10min segment... Just doesn't work.

    You must mean the UK Top Gear. They are talking about that US Top Gear show here.

    Hope it gets better. I really didn't like the first show. Maybe its just that Tanner is annoying to me. Rut should have put a Importatlanta.com sticker on the Miata lol.

    I did too. Overall it was funny, and better than anything last year.

    Complaints are few...I was a little disappointed that they didn't use the same cars and actually turn those into 4x4 trucks. But with production schedules and what not, I understand the need to have them built before-hand. Production tip: If you're going to use "stunt-double" cars make sure the interiors are the same color.

    And the "lets run into James May" gag is tired even on TGUK. I'm sure it's funny as hell to do it in person in cars that aren't yours, but it just comes across as a copy.

    LOL you have got to be kidding. TGUK is leaps and bounds better than TGUS hands down. Season one didn't even get good till the end, so there is no way you can honestly say its better, truthfully.

    I am old and get Brittish humor. I just think the US version lacks the creativity and quality of the UK version. The US one is OK, but not even on the same level as the UK version.

    Its like when Megadeth did a Sex Pistols song. It was good, because there was a good base to start from, but still not as good as the orig..

    I take it you've never watched the real Top Gear? Either you're lying for reps, haven't watched either, or you're just an idiot.

    UK top gear all day long--- but in the beginning of the UK version it was kinda awkward and not as good. They have to grow together as hosts... I am confident the US version will grow and develop like the UK version did.

    But they need to stop copying some of those challenges directly. If you watch the US TG then chances are you area fan of the UK version and possibly even the Australian TG.

    Thanks for watching guys...I really appreciate the IA support...no matter which TG you like more.

    Simon, bless your heart. I'm afraid you're always going to be a douche. Don't feel like you need to go out of your way, ok man. I'm sure you're really busy...you know..douching it up and stuff. Like I've always said, I know you're just an online hypster, so I genuinely don't care about what you think, but I do feel sorry for you that you're a dick. No one really wants to be known as a dick. Bummer man.

    I'm a dick for not liking the show? Don't be "that guy." lol

    I'm also not "known" for being a dick, I don't think we have ever met, when we do, you won't think I'm a dick. Dump your co-hosts and the show may actually be good, you're funny, the other two just annoy me.

    OH I don't think that you're a dick...and it's certainly not because of your like or dislike for anything as a whole, pertaining to me or otherwise. I'm an old school nerd on here who remembers when you showed up on IA and started posting a lot.

    I just think you kinda dig acting like a dick. Which is cool if that's your thing...it's just not my thing. And that's why I said what I said that way. I hope you're not one. I hope you're a genuinely good guy who's optimism is simply misunderstood.

    None the less, thanks for watching, and thanks for the compliment. Hope I'll get to meet you in person one day and we'll clear all that up. Thanks, Rut

    Trust me I'll be the first to admit I use to act like a e-thug dick on here back in the day. lol It's embarrassing, I rarely post here anymore anyway. With that said, I'll keep watching to see it get better, no hard feelings.

    I liked last nights too. It seems like they were trying to make it more of their own than last season (almost like a rebirth or something.)
