Rep Power: 26 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Haven't had a chance to read the entire article, just skimmed but since when did Top Gear become a stunt show? Seems like Top Gear America is going to feature a stunt every episode, I hope it doesn't it become some sort of explosion filled spectacle with motor cycles jumping through rings of fire with nuclear explosions in the background. |

Car: rsx type s Rep Power: 9 ![]() ![]() | "So she pops the hood and looks under it and says, “What do we got? High-rise manifold with a double pumper.” Awesome, except for I’m looking at cross-draft injection. There’s cross-ram injection, and it’s not carbureted, it’s injected, and there’s— it essentially looks like four side-draft Webbers in a cross-ram configuration, except what comes out of her mouth is, “Hey! Hah! High- rise with a double pumper!" i love you adam

Rep Power: 11 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | And according to the UK production team, it's going to be done exactly like the UK Top Gear as of late, which I thought you hated. So you seem to be a little confused.

| It sounds like Carolla is getting a pretty free hand in controlling the direction of this show. Back when the rumor was that the show would be called "Gear", he would constantly refer to it as "Top Gear" on his show. That, and the whole freedom to say whatever about whichever car is also one of his talking points. It suonds a lot like the directional control that Clarkson had over the revival of Top Gear, and I for one am extra-pumped after reading this interview. | |

![]() Adam seems to repeat himself a lot... "I met with Jeremy, who seemed like a real nice guy. I met with him..." "As far as I know, and I don’t know that they’ve booked anybody just yet, but as far as I know..." Not a bad thing, I just noticed that. He seems alright, I'm still not sure though, I'm afraid I'm going to compare them to the Original trio too much to really judge them for who they are. But I like Tanner and Eric so far, so I'm most doubtful about Adam right now.
