Top Gear Road

[telophase]

On the second day we had the guide in Wales, we mostly pootled around Brecon Beacons National Park, which was very beautiful. Our guide was a bit of a petrolhead (for you USers: car nut) and we admitted to liking Top Gear.

At one point when driving, he noted that the stretch of road we were driving down was often used for filming segments of Top Gear when they were testing out cars. Naturally, I took a photo of it. Does it look familiar?







Oh wait - there's no way a regular view of TG would recognize it from that photo. Here, let me fix it for you:







Now that oughta do it!

LOL. So the Top Gear editors are fans of Dramatic High Contrast?

Dramatic High Contrast, Tilting the Viewing Area, and Serious Vignetting. XD

I love Top Gear!

Although I don't really care about cars. *shrug*

Neither of us cares abut cars, either, but we both love a show where three reasonably clever people with great interactional chemistry and a passion for one subject rattle on about that subject.

And crashing a lot of cars doesn't hurt.

That about sums it up. Did you ever watch the first season, before James May joined them? That other guy just didn't fit right and there was no magic. If any of the three ever leave the show it will be very hard to replace them and have that same wonderful dynamic they have. They're all equally necessary.

That having been said, I must admit that James May is my favorite.

Nope, haven't seen any of those. I can't imagine how it would work without those three.
