starts off a little slow, but the ending is wonderfull
Good job making us from Alabama look stupid... they'd better learn to respect the locals, i learned that in Deliverence. I think Nascar sucks just as bad as rugby, but I wouldn't yell that in a British pub, jerks.
DUDE!! That was unreal!!! I was laughing, I was sweating and I was scared shitless for a wee bit.
"I'm starting to believe that some people in America are actually beginning to mate with vegetables."
Bwahahahahaha. I wish it wasn't true.
-Turd.
It was shown on TV here last night, the full 60mins of it. If a gang of Americans came through my neck of the woods behaving in the same way most people around here would not be amused. It was funny TV but if they had got seven shades of sh** kicked out them it would have served them right and been even funnier. In fact I will go as far as saying they SHOULD have had the sh** kicked out of them.
BAHAHAHA.... MANLOVE RULES OK
and Nascar sucks...
It was too funny!
I love Top Gear,but sometimes they go too far,first Hammond got hurt in an
accident trying to break some speed record and now this! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Oh that was so edited to hell. If you look closely at the "rednecks arrived" or arriving, its a bunch of fat chicks and a dog in the back of that pick up. :laugh: Some creative editing can show things in any manner you choose. The red neck owner and that guy I bet were the ones threatening them and throwing the rocks not a "band of red necks" And how come there is no video of all this going down? They are back in a van why can't they film again? The hurried off the side of the road after they had some distance from that town to take the paint off there was no one chasing them at that point I'd bet.
I don't really care about this topic I just hate when TV distorts a situation w/ editing to over dramatize it i.e. all reality TV. What pisses me off more is that Top Gear has done it.
-ash
The owner went to get "the boys" the boys then turned up in the pickup n chased em away. Either way funny as hell. I saw the whole show last nite too sledge!
they would probly really get the shaZam! kicked out of them if they came to RIchmond City. by the Thugs and the Rednecks. lol. 2nd highest murder rate per-capita.
and when you come to America is GAS not Petrol ... fuckers lol
I've been a Top Gear fan for about 4 years now, and this was by far the funniest episode I've ever seen (I download episodes via bit torrent). Who cares if this bit was SOMEWHAT staged. I live in the south and I'm damn proud of it, and this is a bit of an extreme reaction, but it is a form of what you'd recieve in most small towns in the south. I doubt that sane people would attack TV cameras in that fashion without substantially more provocation, however I would not be surprised, in fact I would expect that many southerners would politely, but firmly insist that the Top Gear hosts and crew leave town. This is not because we southerners are ignorant (although some are, but so are many people throughout the world, so bugger off), it is that we hold dearly to our values and beliefs, and we don't want misfits disrupting our traditions and ways of life. I live and work in a fairly rural area of GA, and most people around here would react similarly, minus the violence, due to the fact that the host of Top Gear were obviously trying to start trouble. Still I insist that this episode was intensely funny, and who really cares about a bit of creative editing.
Oh, and rugby kicks ass. :flipoff:
I watched it last night after I downloaded it, and could not stop laughing....its funny to see "American" stereotypes..
I am really not that surprised by the "rednecks" as there are just as many ignorant rednecks in the south as there are in the north, and I have seen stupider.
HAHAHA, stupid rednecks...

HAHAHA, stupid rednecks...
yea but if any ounce of it is true then those stupid rednecks sure gave those poppycock brits a run for thier money haha. I wouldnt have thrown rocks at them but I would have said somthing to them about thier nancy boy mobiles. lol
i havent watched it yet, dont give it away.
For those who havent seen the full 60 mins this is how the programme finished (sorry to spoil the ending).
They drove the cars from Florida where they were bought for under $1000 each to New-Orleans. The original plan was to try and sell the cars in N-O and make a profit but after seeing the devastation and despair caused by Hurricane Katrina the producers decided to donate the cars to a charity. The family who were being given the Camaro (who we were told had lost
everything they owned in the storm) were initialy told the car was a `91 model, it actualy turned out to be a `89. Upon finding this out a Lawyer immediately became involved who promptly threatened to sue the programme makers for "Misrepresentation" and demanded $20,000 in compensation :dunno_white:
That is so typical, you try do something nice for em' and what do you get they throw it back in your face and try take more off you. Shame you can't sue people for been complete assholes :icon_twisted:
if the guy that handles the snakes at my church would've seen that they might have been shot
that was the funniest and best piece of documentary film-making i have ever seen.
long live TopGear!
They should have expected that and really were Asking for it.If it hadn't have been Daylight it would have probably been a different Story they'd probably never been Heard from Again. :laugh: :laugh: If they had wanted to get away with it and get gas they should have told them that their Vehicles had been Vandalized and they were Taking them to get it removed. :icon_rolleyes: :icon_rolleyes:
given that it's a UK TV show, i REALLY don't think they expected the locals to behave as aggressively as they did.

you could say the same about motorcycle racing... they both take great physical and mental stress and the possibility of dieing or becoming seriously injured. and infact Nascar has deep roots as a RUM running outfit , they would out run the cops. it takes skill to hop of those cars and to drive them like they do.
im not a die hard fan of nascar but when I actually covered one as a news photographer and videographer one year for ABC and was down in the pits, its a whole different story. its bad ass to watch on the line.
Rum? :icon_confused: Never Heard it called that before. ;)

i have sincerely tried to watch NASCAR on TV, and simply can't do it. it is sooooo boring. and the commentary exemplifies what makes people think Americans are stupid and uneducated. i can't watch IRL either. the technology is more sophisticated and contact can yield a more brutal result, but in the end they are still driving in circles.
i watch: WRC, F1, ChampCar, Dakar, MotoGP, and BTCC/ETCC...Oh, and some Australian Super Cars too.
i understand it is more interesting in person, but i don't want to spend my money on that form of entertainment. i will, however, see an F1 race this season...probably Montreal.
now, for cheap, fun, redneck entertainment i go to the drag strip! especially on Super Chevy or Fun For Weekend. it's mullet heaven!

I highly reccomend going to Montreal. I go every year and it's a blast. They close off a bunch of the downtown city streets, and it's F1 all day, party by night. All the bars and restaurants have outdoor events too.
The best part is that you wake up in the morning and you can hear the faint sound of those engines whining in the distance.
Nothing like feeling those RPMs coarsing through your entire body as those things whiz by you.
If you're thinking of coming, we should meet up for a beer or something man, my friends and I party it up like rock stars up there :cheers:. And if you're looking for accomodations, try McGill college. They rent out their dorm rooms for around $60 CDN/night (About 30% of what you would pay at the cheapest hotel during F1 time)
good to know! we have a baby coming in June, but if i can convince the wife that i need "man time" i'll be there.

Congrates on the baby coming, but your wife owns you now & there is no more "man time". It's all about her & the bub. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

dude I hate watching Nascar on TV too, in person its really about how loud the cars are and how intense the teams are. I didnt spend money to go watch it nor would I, but it was cool to be there in the middle of it all. I dont think I could be in the stands though and watch it. and that goes for any racing. the only racing I will watch in the stands is MOTOX or Drag, but people could argue that it only last a few seconds and they go in a straight line ;)
to each is own.
