Tonight, on Top Gear

[flvegan]

8pm EST, BBCAmerica

Richard celebrates the 40th birthday of the iconic Ferrari Daytona by taking one back to its spiritual home on the Riviera before attempting to beat James and a multi-million-dollar powerboat in a race from Portofino to St. Tropez.

Jeremy is out on the Top Gear track testing the new BMW M3 saloon against a young pretender from Japan, the Lexus IS F.

Richard attempts to find the best kind of bus for British city streets by getting together everything from a double-decker to a double-long and racing them.



Yes, Top Gear is racing city buses around a track. You know what that means.

1. I love Top Gear!

Talk about a dream job. Those guys just don't stop, and emjoy the living hell out of what they are doing.

2. Tell me about it.

And they don't seem to be limited by a budget on the show.

3. Cannot. Wait.

But, when I drag my butt back to the gym (starting tomorrow), I will have to watch the 8pm Pacific showing.

4. It's just as funny no matter when you watch it.

Glad your going to hit the gym. Far better than watching tv.

14. James May = Wrong

Daytonas (and any Ferrari) beat out a boat. Even one with a carbon fiber loo.
