I wish Top Gear had a show in the USA. They are so funny. Or I wish I was in HK at the show. Can't wait for the Rugby 7's however!

Apparently people in the USA do not understand Top Gear, so BBC is pulling Top Gear USA.

Where was James May? Looks like he was replaced by James May's Asian cousin. (ie. The Stig's American Cousin)

Well, apparently the US audience doesn't "get it"

There hasn't been an official announcement however. Hopefully it is not true.

good photos, i must have missed them
i was on the left side and to be honest i was seated to some lovely babes (one chinese and one supa dupa blondie) who asked me a lot of questions so i didn't have time to watch the show....

i was also annoyed that they didn't have the M5 or even an M1, 3 on, or even a BMW.
