One thing Old Top Gear was really good at was car reviews. I anticipated them more than the challenges, which got kinda boring after S20. Jeremy was always talking about the soul of a car, the X factor that makes a car great or terrible. New Top Gear just shows a car driving, says “It’s legendary and super fast” and…

And that is why a pre-trip inspection on tractors and trailers is required by law!

The “afterthought” infotainment screens as seen in Mercedes, BMW and Mazda ruin the cars.

If you’re worried about door dings and stuff, find the nicest car in the parking lot, a 2015 7 series or S class, a Blue WRX STI with gold rims and park next to it. Chances are the owner of that car is careful and wont damage your car. Also, never park next to new M-class mercs, any mid size SUV, any vans or banged up…

I think this works well with this article. Did you know that F10 BMW M5 (and F12 M6) with a 6-speed manual is available ONLY in North America? Why in frickin hell would BMW do that? What, Germans have become lazy with their diesels that they only want the 7-speed dual clutch auto? BMW say it’s because North Americans…

Yep, I can understand why you were scared. When I first heard what you bought, I thought “Whyyyy?? I wanted to see the Viper!”. Then I read on, watched the video, and now I’m on board with you. Range Rover isn’t an exciting car to write about, but it breaks a lot and thats what I like to read. AM is going to be the…

Like Jeremy Clarkson suggested, “increase the minimum speed limit on the roads to 100mph”. You can read a broadsheet newspaper at 55mph, but nobody will try to do anything other than drive at 100mph+.

But only if Doug is ready for another import challenge. And this time it would be a lot harder to find a dealer who would take care of paperwork.

Renault 5 turbos hold their value well at 50k. Renault Alpines are not legal in US yet. 205 gti, no idea, but a good car. Have to be imported though.

Doug replaces a thermostat on a W8 and dies.

I hate US spec headlights on SM’s. But the styling... omfL

Doug could do a “can you really drive 2CV through a plowed field with a basket full of eggs on the passenger seat?” test

Doug would have to wear a monocle too.

70k is not enough. Here’s one, sold for 170k! Doug is just 100k short! haha

NSX is as reliable as an Accord. You just change oil. Do you want to watch Doug drive a Honda Accord NSX for a year? I don’t haha

I think he can find a nice one for 50k, right?

Doug is too tall for a Pantera. 6ft is about the limit.

Even worse is people who leave a car lenght gap between him and the car infornt and then drives forward at 3 mph instead of just closing the gap! I can’t see what’s in front of him, so I also have to scoot along not knowing when will he stop!
