BTW I am a huge TG fan, to the point that my ringtone is the TG intro music. I have all the episodes and have watched all of them repeatedly. I have several of the presenter's other works as well. I wish I could have some day actually attended a taping but...

My favorite is 10:4, the Botswana ep where Hammond drives Oliver across Africa, which is, by the way, their favorite adventure as well.

Sadly my wife and kids can't stand the show. Oh well. It is and will continue to be my thing, even if there are no more. It was a special thing, everyone knew it, and I doubt it will ever be recreated unless the lads find a new home elsewhere.

I saw a rumor where they were being courted by Netflix? Wouldn't that be something?

Clarkson likes some Fords and likes the most recent Corvettes.

He doesn't like American cars because he's British, don't take it personally. The British assume they invented the world and that it revolves around them. Probably something about having once been a big empire, dunno.

We will win if/when they are back to cocking about on some other network or on a film of their own making.

And yet it's produced better and is more entertaining than just about anything else not on AMC.

this needs to be rated higher. ^^^^^^

I'm ashamed to say I had not heard any of that. Source?

oh, wait, here http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-...

ouch.

this one, yes.

Good idea but that's still the BBC, who just fired him.

I foresee them getting welcomed warmly to another organization. And that they will ensure that Jezza ALWAYS is fed promptly.

I saw the recent YT clip where May said they were a package deal and that he had to quickly go make a Ebay posting to sell his Ferrari. I'm sure he was only half joking...

so-called top so-called gear

I think you mean fifth gear, not final gear.

Final gear is a fan website that posted links to the torrents of all top gear/ fifth gear episodes and after several years of providing links got a nasty C+D letter from BBC or a BBC surrogate organization.

Otherwise, you are 100% right, copies of TGUK that try to be TGUK fail, because what TGUK is (WAS) wasn't the result of them trying to be that way, that's just the way they were.

If we go back and watch the show starting at season 2 up to the current season we see that the show evolved into what it is known for, and it took years to get there. For several seasons it wasn't just about 3 middle aged blokes falling down and cocking about.

My personal take is that the BBC had no choice but to sack Clarkson, it truly is his fault. The only question is whether he (to some extent, or subconsciously) wanted to be forced to stop doing the show because otherwise there was no way he could bring himself to stop.

I foresee the three to do some work together on their own or under some other organization.

I could make a comment about how, since 0bama, poor is the majority -

but I won't.

You can thank me later.

And this is why Comcast is the biggest ISP. And why they are so thoroughly hated by so many people.

Well, watching drugs inc episodes apparently ripping people off is a viable business model in the drug industry.

You got the distributors and dealers of good dope, dealers of crappy dope, then the dealers that sell fake dope, the dealers who steal dope from other dealers to sell, and the gangs who just rob dealer stash houses for the cash and whatever dope is on hand.

So, an online 'marketplace' specializing in illegal black market goods is no different than maneuvering in the real world black market, it isn't too hard to get ripped off in either world.

I imagine if they stole $12mil in bitcoins that is but a fraction of business that went through there, just a snapshot of any one day.

When oh when are we going to have an ETHICAL and MORAL bitcoin black market service?

Come on! It's like it's just a bunch of criminals doing this stuff.

Wait...
