British humor, I love it!

Same here.

I did a very tiny bit of work with the Top Gear christmas interactive DVD once. Met Hammond and Top Gear Dog.

I gotta say, I think it would've been more fun to be the driver during the mall/corvette test right before that.
Honestly, I want to buy a Fiesta after seeing that.
 
Ah, the $12M Ford product placement add. They did use several 5D's in it. It's actually the best shot Top Gear I have ever seen! They keep getting better and better. I Lost count of all the awesome camera angles I have never seen that work! Geez, amazing! Very well done.

The producer of that show has it right. I'll bet it took no less than 4 months to shoot that at 18 hour days 24/7.
 
Back when I used to ride sport bikes I subscribed to a UK mag called "Performance Bikes"... I got that mag for years and read every issue cover to cover because the writers are so smart, and spare you the B.S. of the USA mags that are too afraid to ever say something's bad, for fear of turning off a potential advertiser.

One of the only autographs I've ever wanted is my Foggy signed program from the '98 WSB in Laguna Seca... all the Brits there were awesome to hang out with. It seems the average Brit is far more sophisticated then the average american joe.

I'm trying to find the video and post a link that works (thanks for the encouragement Chip, now I HAVE to see it)... but I've been distracted by how good ALL these videos are! You're right about Top Gear... I'm getting sucked in.

Your humor seems to fail me?
 
The British humor is subtle... and dry... so dry you may not have a taste for it.

Chip wasn't joking...

The TopGear clip is loaded with super-dry comedy.

The videos are awesome... the fiesta clip is cinematically amazing... you should watch it.
 
i've heard that, too.

i believe it. it's talking about cars, and in a very entertaining way. i know a lot of people who barely know any english that love the show.
 
To me, there is just something about British humor I totally get.

To this day, every time I even think about that clip, it brings a big smile to my face. Grenade-sized cup holders, driving off an LST, I should get one just for a prop vehicle. The chase in the mall. Best thing I have seen in a long time.
 
Still their best project ever:
