I watched it sundaynight (live) on BBC2 :D
(and recorded it..so will watch it again tonight:unibrow: )

I almost pissed in my pants laughing!

Just a warning...NOT suitable for very patriotic guys without a sense of humor......

(and I recognized the trip from Miami to Moroso motorsports park since I did that trip 7 years ago)

Nah, I don't think so, if you put "Di was a man or the Queen sucks" 99% of the people really wouldn't give a s**t! & certainly wouldn't try & beat you up or try to shoot you, most people would think you were just a w****r. As to football fans, again this is just a minority of a couple of hundred fans throughout the whole country, we're nowhere near as patriotic as the US & almost EVERYONE hates Tony Blair (prime minister) heh heh.:thumbsup:

You pretty much have to take it for what it is. Entertainment. They did everything they could to elicit a response, drove around for who knows how many days and ended up with about 30 seconds of tape that they could play up for TV. Maybe they should have gone to Bagdad and wrote I Hate Allah on the side of their Mercedes and see how long (in minutes) before they got shot. Ultimately, if you think that's an accurate representation of life in the US, then the joke is on you.

Personally, I thought it was funny. They got exactly what they wanted, then acted surprised. Well duh!! :rofl:

Um...when I said Football,I meant what we call Soccer.I think there are more than a couple fans in London...:unibrow: And I'm pretty sure there are insane about it!:cheers:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_%28soccer%29

Here's James May's response to getting stones thrown at him.

while I certainly can't give a thumbs up to anyone intentionally driving around trying to get people angry, I do think that it looks pretty bad when people are calling eachother on CB radios to get together and throw rocks at people. :lol:

If you believe anything like that on TV is real...:rofl:
Editing is fun...I can imagine the amount of film shot to get what they wanted.
Name where you live and I'll tell you what you need to do to get the same,if not worse result!:thumbsup:
Yeah,we are dumb here,LOL...that's why Mercedes,Honda,Hyundai,several Space Centers,the highest paid computer field jobs,etc, are here.
And as far as being patriotic,most people here in the South don't see anything wrong with being a patriot...if you do,you are the one with a problem.Knowing our history,how can you be a real Citizen of the USA otherwise?It's sad seeing legal immigrants loving the place more than natural born people.

As for crime here,it doesn't even compare to most other States with big cities,or the U.K.London has an underbelly you don't want to be caught in after dark,or anytime.
It's easy enough to do a search like I took the time to do...
The Internet...Use it...

I now dub thee "Top Queer" as the show name from now on.:unibrow:

If anyone gets a chance, look up the Top Gear coverage on "Aerial Atom"... this guy's expression is priceless!

It makes my ribs hurt after watching this guy.
