 This show is entertaining even if you're not into cars.


 I just recently discovered this show even though it has been on the air since early 2002. It's hosted by three British guys: Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May (AKA Captin Slow).

They get to test out new and old cars, racing them around their track. They have a special driver named "The Stig" whos real name is never revealed and face never shown. Each car's lap time gets posted on a board comparing it to others previously raced. If you ever wanted to know what's faster, the Ariel Atom or the Ferrari Enzo, they've found out.

Aside from testing out cars, they are given challenges. One was to try and destroy a diesel Toyota pickup, just a hint, fire, water, and earth couldn't stop it. They've had to buy British built cars and put them though a number of tests including parking on a grade and exiting the vehicle.

I've never gotten though a whole episode without laughing hysterically at least once. Check your listings for this BBC production. If you've got a DVR record all episodes! Also, the cinematography is absolutely incredible.

In the meantime, you can spend hours on YouTube.com watching clips. To find out more about the crew and their shenanigans visit their website www.bbc.co.uk/topgear
