Lads this was on page 3, which is the page with topless women on it! Somehow I am sceptical of it.
I demand proof of this allegation.
But still, i kinda have my reservations. What I think they need to do is get three Ameicans that have the feel of the trio from UK, but with a slightly american slant.
I mean, look at the Pilot Top Gear USA guys: One was a Drag Racer, one was a Jock, and the other guy.....um....well, he had nothing to do with cars.
I think they should find three Americans. For Clarksons shoes, an outspoken guy who thinks that the Ford Mustang is rubbish, yet finds a liking in the Vee-Dubs. A guy who isn't afraid of saying the 300C is a POS, yet thinks the Lexus LS is on-par with the Maybach.
Hammond....Basiclly an eccentric gearhead. Given Hammonds taste in cars, i'd say find a guy that has a wide swath of cars in his collection.
And May...I dunno, should we see if any of the reporters from Hemmings Motor News wants a TV gig?
As for The Stig....he needs a total American facelift of sorts (No, not Big Stig). Let's take a cue from NASCAR. Have "American Stig" be a rolling billboard of "sponsors" as a spoof to NASCAR while he does left AND right turns on the test track. And give him a completely mysterious american name. One name I want to suggest is already taken by a Video Game, so nuts to that....
