    Discovery channel is showing 5 episodes of the awesome British car show Top Gear on Feb 9th starting at 7pm.
    The 7pm show has the Ferrari F60.
    The 8pm one I have seen, a review of the Ford GT, they attempt to parachute into a moving car, a review of the classic Dodge Charger! And best of all they teach a nun to drive a monster truck!
    The 11pm show has the Aston Martin Vanquish S; Ferrari 575; Pagani Zonda.

    If you guys check this show out at all, I recomend the 8pm one, the review of the Charger is great, they go over the history of the car, give it a good road test.

    Top Gear is huge in Australia. The guys tell it how it really is without the usual BS from the automotive industry. There are no Uber experts, the hosts test the cars themselves and give us a true motor enthusiasts opinion. If a several hundred thousand dollar dream machine performs like shit, they will tell you – heck they even show you – no fear or favor. Their special guests are funny too. Best car show around! thumbsup.gif

    That is one of the things I like about the show, except for the Stig (who is amazing to watch) who does the laps for their time board the hosts do it all themselves and tell it like it is.
    I don’t care for the guests or the star in a reasonably priced car (they are cut out of the version the Discovery channel shows) because I don’t care about British stars, and half the time I don’t know who they are anyways.
