Neat. But, apart from the Top Gear brand and "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers, that is an absolutely, totally different show from the current, much, much better Top Gear, isn't it?
I mean, it's about cars and things. I really do like bikes, but with the presenters being actually earnest and competent, and not even in the last eccentric, I did find this a bit boring.

This from the current incarnation of Top Gear is a much more interesting episode. They do a little bit about bikes, from about 8:15.
But if you haven't already, I recommend you watch the whole thing from the start.

If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

I have seen all the "new" Top Gear episodes at least once except the new ones that haven't aired on BBC America yet but will be on in a few weeks.

Well, then you know the Vietnam special. I didn't mean to accuse you of ignorance in that regard.

I didn't mean to suggest that you did, I am just letting you know I am a fan. I even have a "I am the Stig's fat cousin" t-shirt! :mrgreen:


That's me!

Hehe, I might actually go back to wearing t-shirts for such a shirt, except that absolutely no-one in jerryland has any clue who the Stig is. Even with the bit of english most people know, they'll wonder how a stick has family.

I get asked constantly what the Stig is when I wear it.
