BBC America will start showing Top Gear on Aug 20. Now the Yanks can see whole shows and not little segments on You Tube.
I wonder what series they will start with. The first one we saw here had the Chrysler vs Jaguar vs Monaro segment.

Erm... yeah. Sorry about that. On Friday I was called to Sydney for an emergency business meeting (and Australia Day), then I was handed a graphics job.
Uncle Rod handed me a 1956 issue of Auto Club News and asked if I could scan it. So I am. The pages need to be cleaned up, then the whole thing saved to PDf and burned to CD. My poor PC doesn't have enough resources to handle 100MB graphics files and do image processing AND render frames. Bugs will have to be delayed.

Looks like I'm about to buy a second-hand 2003 model Toyota Camry "Sportivo."
It's a white one!
oh, and it has a 3 litre V6, atuo transmission, and some other thingies. The dealer wanted to give me $2,000 for the old camry. I think I'll give that to Mum.
looks like it's time for a ROAD TRIP!

20 March 2006 12:13Jeremy Clarkson is a highly opionionated git who loves cars, and I love his writing style.
"Things that appeal to your inner animalistic being — good food, sex
and drama — cannot also keep you dry in a rain shower or get your
flat-packed furniture home from the shop. The car appeals on every
level. Personal freedom. Practicality. Excitement. You’d have to be a
Darwinian oxbow lake to not want one.
Yet that’s what the modern day Trots and Bolsheviks want. For
you to replace your BMW with a cow. Even though a cow produces more
global warming gases than a BMW. And also doesn’t have electric
windows. "
