I love the BBC-Top Gear!

Brits have the right idea when it comes to TV.

I am totally hooked on a show called Top Gear.

I love cars shows and the sucky ones on Speed and Spike TV suck diesel exhaust.

I hate those stupid car auction shows too.... Like, who wants a Rumble Bee that was rebuilt with new parts and bondo?

--------------

I digress,

Top Gear is hosted by three guys (I still don't know their names) that do some pretty funny stuff on the show.

They do car reviews-by driving the cars into the ground-and they do not pull punches. They invite celebrities on they show and have them do a lap on a race track and they rank them according to their times!

They also do some wickedly funny challenges-one show was based on the idea that they could come to America, buy a car for 1,000 dollars (as opposed to renting one for the price of a two week rental) drive the car 800 miles and sell it when they got to their destination.

Another show had do with getting a trailer and going camping......they burned the danged thing down when they tried to cook a meal!

Great stuff when you are medicated and sick in bed.

If you love cars or anything motorized, you will love this show.

So glad we are entertaining you Richard. I can just see you and Ed watching Top Gear.

I think Randi's John used to really enjoy it too.

During the last winter Olympics they staged all the competitions, downhill, skijump, skating etc in cars. That was a particularly good programme.

I remember two of your other favourites doing particularly well on the celebrity challenge - Simon Cowal and Gordon Ramsay.
