A couple things. First off a new commercial for BBC Top Gear season 11 [youtube=425,350]WuXNF5-lvIY[/youtube] And 2ndly a press release for NBC Top Gear > June 16, 2008 > Team America > California, free refills and Megan Fox are no longer the only good things about America. > Because now, America has its own Top Gear telly show. > Well, they’re getting a pilot for a US version of the show at least. > And even though you will have no idea who any of them are, they’ve just announced their presenters… > First up there’s Adam Carolla, who has a whole host of superlatives associated with his name, like ‘comedian’, ‘radio personality’, ‘television presenter’ and ‘actor’. > He’s best known over there for his radio programme The Adam Carolla Show, yet over here you might have seen him in Crank Yankers, the TV show he produced and starred in that features real crank calls by celebrity guests which are then re-enacted on screen by puppets. > Most importantly however, he owns two classic Lambos, Maseratis, Ferraris and an Audi S4. Which is a better qualification than anything. > Then there’s Tanner Foust - how good is that name?? - who’s a high demand stunt guy, having driven in The Bourne Ultimatum, that Fast And The Furious set in Japan and, er, The Dukes Of Hazzard. > He’s also won a load of different things for rallying, drifting, ice racing and time attack. But all you really need to know is [thisthis](http://www.revver.com/video/435109/tanner-faust-at-formula-d-media-day/), and that he drives a ‘tricked-out’ M3. > Bringing up the rear is Eric Stromer, who’s an American DIY legend - think Handy Andy with blonde hair and a guitar - who’s also a regular on Carolla’s radio show, advising listeners on their construction concerns. > And he drives a Toyota Camry hybrid… ahem. > It seems no one’s told Clarkson that though, 'cos he’s quite happy about it all: “This is fantastic news - but how on earth you lot are going to do it on the wrong side of the road I’ve no idea.” > ![http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/2956/images/1/large.jpg](http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/2956/images/1/large.jpg) ---

this is cool but might ruin the show also, they better not fuck it up, one of the things about top gear was the heavy british accents… made it so funny to watch and truely entertaining… we’ll see how it goes… until then i watch the real top gear thx
