I haven't watched it yet, but I do have it recorded.  I love the British
version.  Those 3 guys (James, Richard and Jeremy) have amazing chemistry
together.  Not sure that can be imitated or copied.  For those that haven't
seen the BBC version, it's really about the unobtanium cars with a few
everyday cars thrown in.  TopGear has its own channel on youtube.  Audio seems
to be kind of hit or miss, though. http://www.youtube.com/user/TopGear
Also that was James May in the U2

Agreed.  I particularly don't understand the attraction to things and
people 'drifto'.

Nothing quite like the original, even when Clarkson ventures to touch
the stars in a U-2.
