Very cool! I never warmed up to our domestic Top Gear, but see Bad Penny is worth a look. The Classic Recreations Mustang isn't too shabby either.

I don't know what it is about TopGear USA that has never gotten me going either. All 3 Guys could be OK, but they don't seem to Gel. It also doesn't help that they spend a whole Hour doing one bit vs the Brits having 3 or 4 segments built into the Hour Show

Hey, it was fun, but keep in mind it's TV.. and even "reality TV" has a script.

I think it will be fun seeing the car on TV (again), but don't go expecting any sort of car test (which would be super cool).

They were impressed with the car's power
