361 Black & Decker.

Okay, I’m not a car guy.  I know very basic information about them, I don’t find them interesting outside of Transformer toys, and racing games, but I love watching Top Gear.  If you don’t know what Top Gear is let me explain it:  Witty British guys drive cars around, for various reasons, while providing entertaining narration.  Against all odds I watch it with rapt attention.  I don’t know what they’re talking about when they use jargon, but I just can’t pull myself away.  I watched it on accident one day after BBC News and now I’m trapped in a world I didn’t create.

    Jeramy : You fixed the propelly DIRECTLY to the drive shaft?!
    Hammond : Yer?
    Jeramy : So When your driving down the road this propeller will stil be turning?
    Hammond : …a bit…

    I wish I had a manager like Mike.

    Also, it’s that damned British accent. It’s like a friggin magnet to the ears.

    Mike, you confused “awesome” with “dense” again.

    Top Gear is an awesome show. I don’t usually like car shows because I don’t understand what the hell they are talking about most of the time. But Top Gear is funny and entertaining, even though they aren’t really telling me anything that I can actually use.

    It’s funny: stick a Brit in a show as the host, and it’s like you’ve got an instant hit. I guess people are just suckers for the accent…I know I am… >_<

    I love Top Gear. It’s actually a bit worrying. I think I might be addicted… Is there a rehab for awesomeness?

  13. SotiCoto Says:

    Jeremy Clarkson is 100% concentrated awesome…. Even I will agree on this one.

    I mean I have no interest in cars whatsoever, but I’ve been known to watch it ONLY because Jeremy Clarkson is allowed to do really crazy stuff for the lulz….. and he does.
