Classic motor journalism at its best (and yes its real - Top Gear is a great show, even for someone like me who isn't into cars) ...

Top Gear has become one of my favorite shows and I'm not into cars either. Their challenges are incredibly entertaining. The transformation of cars into boats and the create a new police car challenges were hilarious.

Hah! I've never seen the show before, but that was very well done.

You can get the UK version through iTunes here in the states these days - the current series ROCKS

(the first episode where they're racing the different vintage vehicles and hammy is on the motorbike is fantastic imho

)

Agreed, I love TG UK, I download it the moment it's online, my wife looks forward to it as well!

I've been a fan of Top Gear for a few years now. That show is absolutely hilarious, and some of the races and challenges they do are a riot. Definitely worth checking out, even if you're not a car guy.

For those of you with Comcast, recent episodes are usually available via Comcast On Demand as well. That's how I usually watch them.

Edit: For the uninitiated, here are a few of the challenges/races/odd things these guys have done, just to give you an idea just how bonkers they really are:

Drove to the north pole in a race against a dogsled team.
Rode from the southern part of Vietnam to the northern part, on mopeds & motorcycles.
Drove across the spine of Africa in old road-cars
Raced a Mercedes with a new sat nav system against a carrier pigeon.
Played 5-on-5 soccer, with cars and a giant soccer ball.
Raced a Bugatti Veyron against a EuroFighter.

The list goes on and on from there, those are just a few of my personal favorites. These guys are the MythBusters of the automotive world.
