Default Top Gear travel from Miamai to New Orleans

Just been watching the latest edition of Top Gear.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/nextepisode.shtml
The 3 presenters travel from Miami-New Orleans in cars they had to buy for under $1000.One had a Cadillac,one a Dodge Ram and the other a Camaro.They had to try and sell them in New Orleans for $1000 if they could.On the way they had to completet tasks like eating road kill.The Cadillac was the only one with aircon (92% humidity,100+C) so the other 2 decided to break it to show him what it was like.In Alabama they had decorated each others cars with paint saying"Hillary for President","I'm Bi","Nascar Sucks" and Man love rules".Needless to say a female filling station owner took the hump and called in the boys who started throwing rocks at the 2 who were left there when the Cadillac refused to start and the Dodge Ram was trying to jump start it.Hope you guys stateside dont have too long to wait before it comes out on Youtube...Scary man....
[/align]This week we’re under-sexed, under-paid and over there as Top Gear heads Stateside for an all-American special.
Watch with shock and awe as Jeremy, Richard and James buy their own yank-tanks, before heading off on a massive interstate road-trip.
Along the way they’ll take in the vibrant, though slightly scary, nightlife of downtown Miami and alligator-strewn swamps of Louisiana, before eventually arriving in New Orleans.
It’s a roller-coaster ride of Americana in which we meet the Stig’s long-lost US cousin, learn to cook road-kill, and get run out of Alabama by an angry lynch-mob.

Hey Buck,
i saw it too, real edge of the seat stuff.
Those "rednecks" in that "hick" town, wasn't it near Mobile? Jeez those guys were out for blood.......lol
The way that the camera went BLANK for a while after those guys (about 4 -5) rolled up in the back of that pickup and started throwing rocks etc.........Fu*kin ell!
The pics of Loiusiana weren't too nice though!
The roadkill episode was hilarious too........not much real car info but soooooo entertainin.

Jim C

For thise stateside who dont know yet...they kept pulling up beside dead squirrels etc but couldnt eat them..so Clarkson arrived at the campsite with a great big dead cow strapped to his roof...and could only get it off the car by driving fast in reverse with left hand down so it fell off the side,leaving a great big dent on his car
