Top Gear

Just got tickets to see a taping of Top Gear. Is anyone else going to a taping this season? Or have been to the previous season tapings?

tanner foust is cool but the other guys are bad actors and above all..........THEY CANT FREEKING DRIVE! i remember seeing an episode where they had to do donuts in a 350z and they couldnt. and when they are doing the test drive review it never shows them doing anyhing but 30mph in a straigh line then the crazy driving is always outside the car so you cant see them. and who are they to review cars over $100,000 Jeremy Clarkson has been doing it since the 80's!!!! they new guys make me so mad!

Jeremy Clarkson's first appearance on Top Gear - YouTube

This is from 1988!

Actually, my friend and I met him... He is really chill. I mean come on if you are in his position, a bunch of people are going to ask you dumb **** but if you come up to him and talk about cars and stuff like you would at a car meet with any of your buddies, he is cool.

Oncamaraaudience.com. They give a way the tickets. Just sign up and they'll let you know when the shows are scheduled to be tape. The entire series 3 will be taped in 5 days.

Tanner is the only one who knows what he is talking about on that show, even though he is full of himself. It`s got nothing on UK top gear.

better than watching top gear us regurgitate episodes already made by the uk verison. i wouldnt mind the show half as much if wood and adam shut their mouths and actually did some original skits/challenges with the cars. not to mention british humor is an added plus IMO

The fat one? Matt Farrah from the smoking tire?

Adam Corolla and Leno should have been the main hosts. However Leno turned down the offer to host. Something bout it wasn't gonna live up to the UK version?

It would def be better if they were the main hosts.

agreed...corolla and leno would have been a great match...however the car show i felt was a bit over played, but its still better than watching the 3 idiots we have repin the us tp
