To be fair though they are smart enough to build pretty much anything.
I also like how they throw around all the technical terms around and explain what they mean in simple words.
I now know the difference between over-steer and under-steer because of them.

aren't those terms self-evident or do they not mean what they say they mean
ie oversteering is when you steer too sharply for a turn

I need to start watching it again, I stopped after midway through the 17th series and I still think it's a great show. I'll have to download some more episodes when I get home.

Well, both oversteer and understeer involves taking a turn too fast.awp wrote:

Oversteer is when you turn and the front turns but the back does not so you end up sideways or backwards.
Understeer is when the wheels are turned but the car simply refuses to turn.
Here's a vid that has a visual explanation.
It's amazing how they tinker with older models and make them seem amazing. They demonstrate how journeys and roadtrips in average and even shabby, seemingly useless vehicles can still be incredibly fun.Blue Stig wrote:

Electric cars are mystical. We're not worthy.
^Agreed^ Still Top Gear DID make their own electric car which ran off 3 batteries and a desiel generator. The end result.. want exacly that good. Still it did beat the Ge Whizz!
Jesus christ, is that what you guys have to put up with?

There is no US Top Gear.
It's just a UK conspiracy that implies that we cannot make television.
