By the way, the latest episode was awesome. "Country Music is Rubbish!"

Right turn on red: America's greatest contribution to Western Civilization.

Honestly? It was a tough watch, embarrassing at parts, plain sad toward the end

Crudson · 02-13-2007, 04:07 PM

It was hilarious. Those rednecks just say it all. I am now scared to drive my girly Lotus Elise through the south of America with England flags on my car.

Brennon · 02-13-2007, 04:09 PM

Funniest episode of top gear yet.

Same with my web filtering system.

So how do you like Barracuda for Internet Filterting?

We used Barracuda for e-mail filtering, but no one likes it, so we're phasing it out this year.

KingOfJericho · 02-15-2007, 07:36 AM

Well I loathe it with a passion because it blocks half the sites I try to go to but I guess my problem is really with "the man" as I do about 90% of my web-surfing here at work. It does it's job but we just started the email filtering piece and I really don't like it. The recap or "what we've caught" email is more annoying than the spam itself!

I downloaded this episode from www.mininova.org, pretty good review of the car and even with James driving they made it to the top speed

Bahahahahaha! True. After having lived in the South, sadly I'm not surprised, but then again the Top Gear lads asked for it

Take a spin down in the old coal or steel towns of England and you wont see much difference between the Queen's good men and a Southern Redneck....

Who has seen the full monty?

I do get your point, but I would be surprised to get people throwing stones by writing on a car that you didn't like a particular sport or type of music. Writing "Maggie was awesome" however would get you in trouble!

Really? So I shouldn't wear this on the EliseTalk trip?
