Re: Top Gear in Alabama
Hehehe.
Well, I dunno which is lamer:
The rednecks for not being tolerant or the Top Gear people for provoking them beyond reason.
It may be fun TV, but it's also plain stupid and utterly pointles.
As you all know, Denmark had the "Muhammed cartoon crisis", and altho the reaction to the drawings were way out of proportion, you cant really be surprised that some extremists reacted the way they did.
Same thing here.
Why dont Top Gear stick to automotive tests and reviews.
What's next? They replicate the scene from Die Hard 3 where Bruce Willis is planted naked in Harlem with a politically incorrect sign?
Next time: Take a Veyron and let Clarkson guy do a driveby at a Klan cookout. Disguised as a black guy. A couple of well-chosen words and voila! We have an exciting race

no alabama tags.
no alabama road signs.
the one tag i saw looked like georgia?

Get the longer version (linked at the end of the video). Shows the Alabama sign, riddled with bullets

Re: Top Gear in Alabama
I was laughing during all the show...
You have to concede that alabama doesn't seem too friendly and they don't have a good sense of humor. If some american was laughing at belgium I would not call a bunch of skinheads to shot the guy. Not that I know any skinheads...
Anyway, I loved that JC and hamster kept running into james car. I loved when they vandalize his airconditionning etc.
I was really funny.
On a more serious note, I did'nt know it was that difficult to buy a car for a $1,000. They really struggle and ended up with very old & crappy cars. At one point, you'll see a squad car behind them and they were not even pulled over.
I really doubt the cars were still road legal.
Anyway, great show!

Re: Top Gear in Alabama
It's a tv show and you never know what is truth or not. But you could get the finger or some taunts from certain people anywhere in this country or the world for stuff like that on a car.
But calling in pick-ups loaded with rednecks, that part plus items thrown at the cars is a little far fetched. I spent some time in AL 20 years ago and did not find it that bad then. Most southerners are very polite, well mannered, and reserved. That place looked like a stop way out in a rural nowhere's ville.
There are places that i would not venture into in LA and MS. But europe is no different with the soccer hooligans, just write those slogans about a rival soccer team and drive around and see what happens.
I have personally experienced lousy treatment in Paris just because I was american. There's all kinds everywhere.

It's not exactly difficult to pi55 people off.
I could get killed or at least severely injured if I entered the wrong local pub with the wrong soccer team uniform.
Go to anywhere in the World, where all people have is their belief in something. Then disrespect that belief in a truly provocative way.
It's not exactly hard to make people like this blow a fuse.
It would have been funnier had Clarkson et al gone to a truly affluent neighborhood and pizzed those guys off.
Painted the car with slogans such as "Plastic surgeon [name] destroyed my boobs!", "[Dentist name]'s Bentley was paid for with a check that bounced!", "[Litigation lawyer name] has a yellow F430 - and a small p3nis. I know. I just gave him a blowjob. I want my money!"...
...just to name a few wildly imaginary and totally made-up suggestions
That would have been harder - and probably just as much fun.
Trouble is, these are probably the guys who own Clarkson.

notice they don't show any of the rock throwing by "the rednecks" piled in a pickup truck that just happen to show up in a couple minutes.
and the voices in the background . . . come on!!!
hillary for pres. could pi55 people off anywhere in the u.s.a.!
a lot of dems around here as well.
nascars appeal sure isnt as limited as they make it out to be although i've
never been to a race and don't want to go to a nascar race.
i can't wait to see what they do to other states!?
Re: Top Gear in Alabama
just saw this joke in another forum.
Speaking of Hillary :
President Bush returned from a trip.
He exited the helicopter carrying a piglet under each arm .
The young Marine horor guard snapped to attention and then complimented the
President on the two little pigs.
"Cute, aren't they ?" said the President ," I got one for Hillary Clinton and one for Nancy Pelosi.
"Excellent trade Sir " said the Marine.

With that kind of IQ, the Marine HOR(R)OR guard sounds about right
