+1 here... It's embarrassing to look at the average size and fuel consumption of an average European car compared to the gas guzziling, under-performing, soccer mom tanks zooming around America's freeways. [:@]

And being a bunch of dumbasses we continue to buy more trucks than cars and we bitch about gas prices!!! [&:]

 

Lets not turn this thread into one of those [&:]

 

I honestly don't think the show ragging on you guys is serious, it's all just part of the humour and they do it to other countries too, it's all just meant to be harmless fun, they even send themselves up plenty lol...

By the way, we're not a crummy little country!

OK, crummy was a little too much, I'm sorry... how about 'out of touch,smug normal sized country'!

 

How about I give you the "Juliet Death Stare"

 

How about the next time you and I find each other 'alone' I give you a 'Dutch Oven'.

You can't stare at me with tears pouring out of your eyes!!!

 

Why you loathsome creature you....lol

 

Yes, we are! Moved here three years ago from Dorset and miss the humour and the people most of all. As my mate Mike from Manchester (now living in Maine!) says, "I miss the crack!"

 

No, not really making fun of the Porsche.......it was one of the best introductions to a car I've ever seen on that show so far. Jeremy was talking about how the Audi is without fault, then it cuts to a shot of Hammond in the car saying "rubbish", then you see the Porsche come sliding behind the Audi. Kind of like "oh s**t here he comes" type of shots. Awesome episode. It was from Season 10, Episode 2...........they're starting season 10 tonight on BBC America, so probably next week you'll get to see the Audi duke it out with the Porsche.

 

Yeah, the epsiode on tonight was incredible. Made me want a GT3RS really bad. I also want to drive Switz and Italy. Damn.
