Keep an eye out for any suspicious super car racing in the most random of areas. It could be the Top Gear boys. Heres my proof that it may happen.

I'll have to be on the lookout. Weather is pretty lousy right now...maybe he is just connecting through Chicago to go somewhere else.

The other two are going to Australia, maybe Hammond is taking the scenic route?
Didn't they recently announce they'll be filming an episode in the US again this year?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PUJya54a5Y Sadly Mr. Quattro, I don't think they are doing a special in the states. But they did go to Chernobyl. Which I'm a Chernobyl buff, so that will be fun to watch.
I did see the Chernobyl episode. It was OK. I think the TopGear guys are running out of fresh ideas.
I think the fall of Top Gear is soon to come
They are getting a bit old too, which I can see them getting tired of working for BBC. I bet it's a difficult job.

They do other work besides filming TG, which goes 6-7 episodes per series. They probably just did the studio audience thing for the Xmas special out this weekend.
Look around youtube and find Clarkson rudely exploring continental Europe or James May doing "Toy stories".

A new season just hit Netflix, but I can't watch it with the kids, as they changed what they censor. And gotten a bit too crude. The occasional sausage joke was funny, the once/episode is tiring.
I used to wonder why Brit shows would only do a season or two and then quit in their prime. Now I know why.
Testing exotics makes for fun, to see how the other half lives; but their challenges are what keep me watching.

I always preferred the British version. It is the only car show that my wife will tolerate because she finds the guys pretty amusing.
I love Top Gear, the American one didn't have the right hosts.
I'm looking forward to their Christmas special over the next two weeks.

Tanner is a huge tool, and Adam should just stick to being a comedian. Rutledge was okay.
It always felt like a cheap copy of the British one. The challenges were identical, but only half as funny.

They really did need someone like Clarkson to say whatever he thinks is funny, regardless of sponsers and advertisers or even being PC...
Probably that's impossible in the US due to lawsuits from corporations or how much editorial control is given to advertisers.

This is the first I've heard of this. Very disappointing.
They got rid of the speed channel, now this.
What I'm really tied of is the Tonight Show, Late show, Letterman, Late show x, late late show, late late show y, reality show xyz, the voice, dancing with stars, American Idle, and all the glorification of Hollywood. How many times a year do they have award shows for themselves? What a waste of airtime.

They should have gotten Jay Leno to do it, also maybe Jerry Seinfeld.
The Top Gear trio have good chemistry but they are actual car guys, so the jokes don't come off as to scripted.

Who?
I'm shocked Clarkson hasn't made a WW2 or Cold War crack about it yet.
