Top Gear-- welcome

Welcome to the world of Top Gear. It began in 1977 as a conventional motoring magazine show. Running from 27 October 1988 to 3 February 2000, in the programmer’s original format, and then again from 20 October 2002, when it was relaunched in a new format after a brief period off the air. As it is now the show has three great hosts, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Their love for cars is only matched by their wit, knowledge and expertise. They're relationships make the show a laugh to watch. The show's focus is to educate, entertain, and showcase the world of the "petrol head" (aka "gear head") and the cars in which they worship so much. New segments were also added, when the show was reborn in 2002 including "Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car", "The Cool Wall", "Car News", "Power Laps", and one-off features such as races, competitions and the frequent destruction of caravans. You don’t have to like cars to be entertained. You must remember though it is British.
