Anyone watch them trash a dodge on the new Top Gear...The Fish Creek run is a blast...Would luv to do the Knik Glacier run...All on ATV's for me tho...

 

Saw that last night. I'd love to know how they drag that Dodge back out of there with the trashed motor.

That was a lot less of a brand test and more of simple truck abuse.

Beautiful country.

 

That show was great. I'm wasn't suprised the Fords steering slave cylinders were out, my old 76 was the same.

 

I saw that episode too.
I cringed when they crashed both doors on the dodge.
They done a nice job of trashing all the vehicles. Then again, that is what they do.

 

OK I need to see this. WHere is the online version? I only have an antena TV so none of those fancy shows for me.

 

Great show and I loved the truck campers.

 

I don't know if I would want my feet sticking out like that wood camper was set up....not where they were anyway, thats some intense bear country, and they are always on those trails....Lets get a ride planed for a Knix Glacier ride this spring...Anyone wanna go...

a little on the slow side but you get the gist.

 

you gonna be working in May? hubby and me doing the bucket list thing. about six weeks up there by May. Inside passage 20th-29th glaciers;
Kenai, seward-anchorage area, Denali- Hurricane train route- on McKinley the 12th, Artic circle area, Fairbanks-Chena, wandering back to anchorage to fly out the 30th June or so. 17 different forms of transportation. atv is NOT one of them! yikes.


bear country- I want one of those polar bear buggies! I look like a fat sausage to bears.....

 

love that show

 

The guy driving the Dodge is an idiot ! He is like some spoiled little brat with little sense and shows it regularly in the program !
I dont think he has ever been out of the city much less off the paved roads .
this guy is a candidate for DOM & DOMMER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I just cant bring myself to liking the US version.
Ive watched it a few times, but it just pales in comparison to the original UK version.
Clarkson, May, Hammond (and the Stig) is what makes the UKs TOPGEAR my favorite show.
(And yes, I know all about Clarkson's general disdain for diesels)

 

I hope the get renewed for more episodes!!!!!!

 

I would probably like it better if I hadn't seen the original first.
Im just hoping the US version is going thru the first season growing pains like the UK version.
the first season of top gear in the UK wasn't that great. Atleast the UK version isn't trying to kiss the vehicle manufactures tail afraid to offend one and have sponsorship pulled off a network.

 

Looks like it may be on again tonight on the History channel at 8:00 central. Preview says "The search for America's toughest truck" but doesn't mention Alaska.
