    Good show Top Gear. Makes the rounds on the Discovery Channel from time to time, very cheeky.

    Very biased as well. The Brits usually are when it comes to “their” cars vs. the worlds, especially the Germans. As if they actually still had a native auto industry in Britain . I guess perhaps they do if you count Morgan. A show that’s great fun to watch. Don't take it too seriously as they obviously don't if you've seen any of their other episodes.

    Imagine that... Comes from the same mindset as those who refer to us as the "colonies."

    LOL! Yep, those who describe George Washington's rag tag band as "rebels"...Ahhh, but I do recall thinking that the E jag was the sexiest looking thing on 4 wheels when it was introduced...

    These guys obviously don't have an "emotional connection" to one of the great auto designs of all time. Even if their country was almost taken over by the Nazi's they need to get over it! Even if Dr. Porsche was friends with Hilter they need to move on. We should buy a Morgan and see how it holds up. We could see how long it takes termites to eat its wooden frame!
