Wanted to watch it but heard on another forum it sucked. Caught the last part of the big truck towing episode and it was pretty dumb with no real tests that are relevant at all. But somehow they came to the conclusion that the chevy is the best truck. :roll: (Wonder how much chevy paid them). Seems like the show is more about doing stupid stuff with cars then it is anything else.

I think the U.S. version will tank. At least the Brits are really funny and do some good testing. I was hesitant and I fell asleep before ten.

From the short time I've seen the US version it BLOWS! Brittish version I LOOOVE though.

I watched maybe 2 minutes of last night's show before I fell asleep. Got the thing recorded though so I'll watch it soon.

It does help to explain why to go to a full floater though. Yup - that's the 2 minutes I was awake for...

Uf. That was so painful. I parked my Bronco so she could watch the show through the living room window. I'm going to run that trail in Death Valley in the Fall so I can redeem my poor heartbroken Bronco.

What a joke. I refuse to watch the US version and hope and pray it gets cancelled soon. I ran in to watch it because the Bronco was on it and that JAckass with the fat foot just stood on the throttle until the sxle broke........LAME!!! Got me once.....

I can't believe they would do that, it had so much potential and they intentionally put it on its side and destroy it.

So sad

The US show has made me hate Tanner Foust! He's super talented and that show makes him look like a goon.

The ginger looks like Zach Galifinakis' gay cousin, and the other dude looks like tony danza's brother. all in all, a giant abortion.
