I predict that the episode in which they compare a 458 Italia and a 599 GTO by drag racing them will cause me to put my boot through the TV.

You can't tell me that TG:UK never does that...

No, I can't. Because I haven't really watched that much TG:UK. I wasn't comparing the two. But the top-speed-run Lambo episode WAS terrible.

Oh trust me, I still do agree that Top Gear UK is still far more entertaining. I've been dying waiting for Season 16 to show up on Zune Marketplace so I can watch it, Episode 1 just showed up last night. Once I started watching TG: UK, I was absolutely hooked, I watched Season 7-15 in just over a month and it is by far more entertaining. It's just nice to know that there will be something in between, while TG: UK is on break.
If you have cable that has BBCA, believe it or not, they are showing the current season about 2 weeks behind on mondays.

Not up against the 599 GTO but close enough, *Waits for MoD to put his booth through the computer screen :couch

I wish that I did have BBCA, unfortunately Dish network doesn't offer it with my package, and i'm not paying extra just to be able to watch TG: UK. Netflix streaming had Seasons 8-12, then Zune marketplace had Seasons 6-current, so I was able to catch up from Season 13 forward on there. It's only around $8-10 for the whole season, and now since i'm caught up I don't consider it that bad of a cost, especially since I can watch the episodes as much as i'd like after I purchase them once.

Yeah, but after the drag race Jeremy went and played with the 458 on the track. Those American douchebags didn't. They acted excited about straight-line speed and then parked the cars.

But, since you asked:

Yeah, I actually enjoyed that drag race, mainly because Jeremy did it to piss off James, but the review as a whole was enjoyable. Jeremy makes pretty much any review interesting though, I remember when he reviewed the Fiat 500 Abarth, I thought that it would be boring. When I got done watching it, I wanted one.

The Lambo top speed run pissed me off quite a bit too though, that was one of the shows that I was starting to lose faith in them. There have been some moments during the season that I really thought, this show isn't going to make it with all three of these idiots together. It grew on me over the season though, even though there were a few of those moments, it was still worth watching.

I am looking forward to both seasons. More so the UK one because its guaranteed to be a good show and Wood isn't on it. I wish that the show had a poll where we could vote one of the hosts off and offer replacement suggestions. Adam isn't great but he's a character that people can make fun of without hating.

Wood out, Carolla in = much more watchable funny show
