    Anyone catch the season opener for Top Gear?

    I have to say, it's not as good as The Grand Tour, but I have to say they've done a great job with the chemistry... real car guys having fun.

    I enjoyed it.

    TGT = 9/10
    new Top Gear =7.5/10

    Its not on BBC 'Murica! until the 12th & I'm not savvy enough to figure out how to torrent or stream it before then. Looking forward to it; I'd rather it become a success than fail since that means two enjoyable car shows instead of one.

    Speaking of British car shows, what's everyone think of Wheeler Dealers? I enjoy it, but finding episodes to watch is unfortunately sporadic at best for me.

    I just watched the latest episode (S02E03) of the new Top Gear, and it has Sabine driving the latest VW Golf GTI on The Ring, passing Porsche's, Corvette Z06's, Lambo's, etc.

    It was some of the most fun I've seen in a long, long time... she was fucking hilarious, and brilliant.

    If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.

    Sabine has always been a star. She's got a certain presence to her and it doesn't hurt that she can drive.

    She's a bit of a German wet noodle in the studio but put her behind the wheel of a car and she's a magical beast.
