That also answers my life long question: "Was the A-Team aired in the UK?"

It airs on Sunday night in the UK. Monday morning, you can download it via Bit Torrent every week. They are between Seasons (Series as they call it) right now.

This is too cool, I'm surprized they didn't use a driver too. This should qualify for the other thread "the craziest custom DIY mod you've ever done" too.

If they had that as an Olympic sport, well then, I just might watch them.

Oh no.
It's the British presenters who make the show. Anybody ever watch the TLC version of What Not to Wear compared to the original BBC version? Eeeew.

Oh no, the American version is sooo much better. For WNTW and Trading Spaces, although the latter has gotten really boring. British sitcoms have us beat completely though.

Considering the only US automotive show right now that doesn't involve building/restoring them is Motortrend, I'll give the US Top Gear a chance. Even if it's not very good, it's still better then nothing!
