If you're any sort of car fan, you're a Top Gear fan and, like us, have been waiting to see if all the Top Gear USA talk is real. Well, turns out, it is.
And, along with Adam Carolla and some bloke we've barely heard of, drift racer and X Games Champ, Tanner Foust, is stepping in front of the camera and, we imagine, into the American shoes of Richard Hammond.
And, thanks to
SpeedEngineBlock we can get an idea of what Tanner's like in front of the camera rather than behind the wheel.
Seems he's trying to move up in the world if this clip from SuperCars Exposed is anything to go by. Seriously, you can glide a car around a track, compete in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb and you don't know how to wash a car? Dude, get a grip!
Turns out the rich guy who's interested in buying an exotic isn't too impressed with Tanner's sales technique but perhaps that's a good thing. Unlike other car shows that gloss over the details and never tell you if a car is crap, maybe this means the US version of our favorite show will continue the British tradition of not pulling any punches or genuflecting to advertisers. We can but hope.
