Top Gear had a pretty lame episode last week. Normally their cross country challenges are very funny with brilliant comments, funny satire and good nature jabs. Last week's TG episode was just one long America-bashing joke, no cool cars, no tests, no exotics, just one long tired southern joke. I mean seriously guys, we give you such great material and all you can come back with is fat Stig and we're going to get murdered?
I can only think this dearth of good content was due to
Richard's tragic wreck that nearly took his life and the pressures that placed on the shooting schedule. The Episode would have felt lest scripted and smarter had it been cut down to 20 minutes.
At any rate, at one point they sort of bag on NASCAR, which is fine were it not for last night's spectacular finish of the Daytona 500. Even the TG team has got to admit that finishing 18th in a race upside down and on fire is the height of cool. I can think of no better Jack Daniels ad myself than just showing this car sliding across the finish line on it's hood......on fire.... Anyhow....
Spoiler Warning shows the finish of last night's race
