This has probably been up here already. My brother called me last night to have me watch the BBC show Top Gear launch a Classic Mini down a ski jump. The guys on the video are very funny. Don't know how I feel about the abuse to the car This should be the url http://youtube.com/watch?v=9yJlw5ujzFo&feature=related

 

That episode has to be two or three seasons old? It is also on a neat DVD that features some of their most famous segments. I really wish BBC would have an HD channel for Top Gear, Fifth Gear and the Dr. Who/Torchwood shows. They look and sound much cooler in high definition!

Gotta love BBC, compared to some of their shows, American TV just sucks... what could be better than Jeremy Clarkson power sliding the latest supercar down the track all whilst yelling "Power!!!!!!!!!!!!" Their specials are always good too, with practical knowledge, like, for example, that it is much nicer to drive an Aston Martin to Monaco from London than it is to take the train... faster as well!

 

and dont write southern slanderous things on your vehicle and drive thru Alabama and expect to live!

 

I love that video!!! Yes, folks, this is what guys do with creative license and a budget!!! I do love that the Mini survived in style...is there nothing a Mini cannot do??

 

Top Gear - Best show on TV ever. If you have never seen it - PLEASE watch it.

Clarkson, Hammond and May are just brilliant TV presenters.

 

That is cool. I like that one almost as much as when they launch cars off a cliff and use them for target practice.

 

I saw that one last night too!!! Way to funny of a show. I work for NASA/JPL and watched them launching a car like the space shuttle...except, they're pretty sure they don't use "step ladders" at NASA. And the one guy puts the fake NASA decal on upside down!!! Now that sounds like something we NASA folks would do. Wouldn't it be fun to just pal around with those guys. Way too funny. A new must watch show for me...and I'm a girl!!!

 

One of my favorites is the Motorhome racing they did in Essex. I was laughing so hard! I also liked the one with the Bugatti, that car is really something!

Oh, and I'm a girl too!

Greatest show ever.

I like Jeremy Clarkson's quote (in america upon seeing a car turn right on red) "See that? that is america's only contribution to western society." or something like that.

 

It may be old; however I haven't seen it. Very Cool. The Mini does many things well!

 

that was great!!!!!!!!

 

I think the one with the Ariel Atom was a total hoot! "Bees in my epiglottis", indeed. I want that man's job!
