I like him even though he hates everything American. Except the Ford GT40 which he owns.

He previously owned (past tense) a Ford GT, but sold it because it kept breaking, and he once received a phone call from Ford while he was driving it saying that they are going to remotely shut the car down because it appears to have been stolen from him.

I watched the whole thing. Thank you for that very interesting story, away from my normal viewings.

As far as Jeremy is concerned, he rants about American cars because they do not handle, but he is always forgetting one thing... the price difference. Compare a car that costs $25,000 to what Europe has to offer for the same amount. You will get more car for your dollar or pound, but when you compare an Audi to a Dodge, it's just not fitting.

Finally, he did like a few American cars. There is Top Gear where they all drive American cars from Rino to L.A.. By the time they get there, they love the cars. Challenger, CTS-V and a Vette.

No problem. I'll probably post some more up this evening as I am semi snowed-in at work.

Series 12 episode 2

If you can catch the whole show on netfix go for it. They really like the cars by the end... even if they keep calling ALL of them muscle cars.

Dom makes a good point of comparison. Sure BMW's drive great, but by the time you add all the go fast goodies you are out of most peoples reach and wait until you get the bill when it breaks, you'll think you're getting a bill for a colonoscopy. Europe's little bitty people movers are the same crap they've been building for the last 50 years.
