Been watching a BBC show (via BitTorrent, since it’s not available anywhere in the states) called Top Gear. It’s a show about cars, but rather than just being staid sorts of car reviews, they review cars, have a guy run the cars around a track, where they rank cars by lap time, they have a segment called “Star in a Reasonably-priced Car,” which has such luminaries as Patrick Stewart and Jamie Oliver taking a cheap Suzuki sedan around a race course.

And that’s the tame stuff. Other sements include playing darts with a bunch of used cars and a giant hydraulic ram, or trying to make it from London to Edinburgh and back on one tank of gas, or racing minivans with British Touring Car champions. It’s nuts, and entertaining as hell.
