Top Gear UK

I'm a huge fan of that show. I watch it mainly for the entertainment value ("We are at the cutting edge of cocking about" - Richard Hammond) but also for the informative value.

No, I'm not ungodly rich but I do like driving games like Test Drive Unlimited which retains at least some realism and since the cars' characters reflect what Top Gear said about them in their reviews rather well, it's easier to pick up a good car just by looking at it's name.

Also I think the show teaches how to appreciate certain things in your own car you wouldn't normally pay attention to (like, for instance, when your car is unreliable, it might give it some soul instead of just being annoyingly rubbish.)

So, any other fans here?
If there are; what do you like about the show the most and who's your favorite presenter? (I like the hamster the most)

Top Gear is by far one of my favourite programs on TV. I will watch if it is on the BBC, Dave or on Nerflix and I never tire of it. If you go into Top Gear as wanting a program about geekery and how cars work etc you will be disappointed I think but that is to defeat of why Top Gear is there to begin with; it's a laugh. It's something you can watch for an hour and just have fun whilst watching it and that is why I love it.

My favourite thing about is the stupid and also amazing challenges they do (I am watching the episode where they become lorry drivers as I watch this) including going over seas in cars that are clearly not suited for the challenge ahead but they do it anyway.

As for favourite? I would say I am May in real life and find in him very funny in his rants
