Top Gear on History is moving to Tuesdays! Cliffs inside..

[poopie]

i like the bit about where they were giving tanner a hard time for wanting to do what all vette owners want....to add "length"

[Lwize]

Bent bed.... IDK- maybe it is possible that a VW fan actually sought after a worthless but running example headed for the crusher for this limo build?

And you probably like the newer Star Wars episodes over the original three.

TG's penchant for destroying cars is becoming a problem.

MTM and Phyllis have been off the air for decades. I was pointing out that Leachman is still funny in her 80's. What's wrong with that? Double to you!

[PlatinumGLS]

This episode looked like a lot of fun to film! Driving a FWD car minus the rear wheels had to be a blast. Surprised Adam wasn't hurt when driving straight into the rear of that car while doing slalom.

[Egz]

Did Tanner go out of his way to find a Player's Only jacket for his Corvette theme?

[SVTDanny]

In regards to the Corvette, I assume that that the exhaust exiting from under the driver side towards the front of the car, suggesting that it was still front engine'd. I just assumed that the engine had been moved to the back, rather than deal with the complications of a 35' drive shaft, but the drive shaft hump that ran the length of the car suggested otherwise. Any details on the setup?

This was one of my favorite Top Gear UK episodes and the US guys did a fantastic job as well, really funny stuff and highly entertaining.

I was very happy to see the Rabbit pickup back in some of its glory

[compy222]

really enjoyed last nights episode again. my wife commented that the presenters are doing a much better job with chemistry, obviously as your time together grows, you become better friends...which makes it that much more entertaining.

the cloris leachman bit was hilarious.

and making fun of tanner about "length" - size jokes will never get old, especially regarding corvettes.

i almost wish there was another 10-15 minutes for a fun car review segment or a longer interview. top gear UK has also done tributes before (i just posted the very well liked senna tribute in another thread). i know the presenters don't control a ton of the content or challenges, but we all appreciate Rutledge's efforts in speaking with us...most of us are really enjoying the show.

The engine was obviously in the front with an extended drive shaft.

It must have been one hell of a drive shaft!

[PlatinumGLS]

It must have been one hell of a drive shaft!

I bet it was actually multiple shafts.

[finklejag]

Hey Rut. Did you and Adam take your cars to a shop in Hemet for the modifications?

[VTECeateR]

I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. That was a great episode....Was one of those Caddy's a diesel? if not it had some nasty knock. Either way, super fun hour of TV. But once again, I don't have HBO do did not care for B-lister in a Suzuki. he was fast, however.

[zmt]

That'sWhatSheSaid!

[AggvGtivr6]

I could have watched a whole episode of Cloris Leachman, it would have to be un-edited tho

[Egz]

Same. I fast forwarded the entire piece.

[Non_Affiliated]

Too bad i don't have History channel. But I did get a chance to watch an episode at my hotel back on the 6th of march IIRC, or it was a re-run. It was the Van's traversing the continental divide. I found it entertaining.

I honestly wouldn't even try to compair the two, as they are set on two different continents.

I really just like teh antics and the universal $hit flipping between guys. Cause when a group of guys that know each other well, there is always $hit flipping that is bound to happen.

[abawp]

Too bad i don't have History channel.

Aside from the usual internet means, history.com airs the show for webviewers and is usually how I'll watch it since I don't have cable TV anymore. They're usually pretty good at keeping up with showtimes as well, if it's aired on cable it usually airs on the website.

[Biff Beltsander]

Also, Rutledge
unless it's a spoiler you don't want to reveal I am pretty sure I saw a C4 Vette limo during the practice laps in the trucks. Future episode?

Somewhat like this yet the one I saw looked better, more of a traditional limo.

Watching Tuesday's episode now, and a question I had from the big trucks episode is finally answered. Loving the limos episode.

[GTrabbIt]

Please stop killing Rabbit Pickups

Or at least redeem yourself by doing something really cool with one on the show

He went from saying he did not feel the Rabbit truck should of been killed the way it was in first cars to killing two, well killing or re purposing is debatable.
I think it was pretty darn cool though.

Like drop a piano on it?

[Roketdriver]

Like drop a piano on it?

And waste a perfectly good piano?

[GTrabbIt]

^^ lol

[choochoo]

after seeing the trailer for this week's episode, I was like
but after watching it, I was like
best "big star, small car" segment yet!

Ya know what i honestly didn't even think about that. Thanks for the tip.

[Rutledge]

We've only got 2 new shows left people!

Tuesday night is a good one...it's my show, basically...they let me pick the things I wanted to try.

This is also a show where I ended up in the hospital, so I'll wait and share a fun story about that afterwards.

I'm hearing good things in hopes of season 3...sounds like we might start shooting in late May. Fingers crossed !

[nimmo]

Why can't I find this airing in Canada? I watched season one when it was out but can't find season two anywhere

It's a bummer, but I don't think season 2 has aired there at all. I've learned that History in Canada is just a name licensing thing, not truly History, so that may be why.

You should call them and yell at them about it. Don't yell, maybe just a nasty email...not nasty, but you get the picture. Thanks for trying !

[tiopedro]

Rut you gotta give a shout out to TCL one of your episodes man!

[sullie]

The poor guy has driven a caddy. . . TWICE, hasn't he suffered enough humiliation by now?

[Bias_Ply]

Do you see Tanner shouting out to Rennlist or Adam to the Iroc-Z/Monte Carlo Aero Coupe boards do you?

[tiopedro]

Never enough

[gearhead94]

Sounded like the Titanic hitting a iceberg.

That was funny. Good episode Rut.

[330iZHP]

I am sure this has been said - but can you please come with some original content and not re-run real Top Gear skits.
