630603 2008-01-16 02:34:00 Why can't we just shoot Americans? What's the matter with you? Don't you think that they are shooting each other fast enough? Perhaps we need a replay of the replay of the replay of Colombine?

Let's hope one of the TV companies does not buy the show and screen it here. Unfortunately, I don't think they will be able to resist the temptation. The only thing worse than the American version would be the English show dubbed into American because the Yanks cannot understand the English accent - and don't think that that hasn't been suggested of other English shows and films before. Thank goodness that has not happened yet - at least not that I am aware.

Greg: Don't be silly. Of course it won't turn out ok. You can count on one small hand the American TV shows with any merit.

Nigel: All you say is very well put. (Breaks into rapturous applause.) Have to agree.

630605 2008-01-16 03:11:00 MTV already has X-hibit on Pimp my Ride so I say they'll get Ice-T to be the token rapper on this show.

Then throw in David Hasselhoff as the token tall aging guy with good teeth..

Token female who gets to dress suggestively - Jessica Simpson.

Of course, like the original, they'll film it in a hanger and use the airfield as their circuit, but being Yanks it will be a bigger hanger, and there will be fighter jets scattered about.

But the funniest thing will be them reviewing all those crappy American cars and extolling their virtues while occasionally trying one of those new-fangled European things that are actually designed to turn corners at speed and wondering what the heck that's all about ...

630606 2008-01-16 03:14:00 it's going to be like American Beer flavourless, tastless and insipid,

Mainstream American beer is piss poor, but there are many small breweries that make outstanding beers, nearly as good as in Europe. I've tried a few but cannot recall the names. I see Pak n Sav is starting to sell Miller Highlife beer :yuck: well at least its better than Budweiser aka Bud :yuck: :yuck: .

630607 2008-01-16 03:17:00 ... and just think of some of the celebs they'd get for Star in a reasonably priced car (which of course will be a $US75,000 car. Maybe a Mustang)

OJ Simpson, who'll have the slowest time around the track and then refuse to get out of the car.

Lindsay Lohan who'll crash the car and abuse the camera man.

Mel Gibson, who'll drive drunk and then hurl anti-semitic abuse about.

The list goes on ...

Sounds like grade A entertainment actually ...

Yes but the problem is that Americans who shoot other Americans don't actually do it for the good of humanity they do it for their own selfish reasons, that's why they go nuts and kill students who are actually at school, or workers who are actually working, I mean why don't they do something altruistic for the general IQ and well being of the US and strap explosives on and blow themselves up in the audience of Oprah/Dr Phil any Televangelist, or the casting calls for reality TV shows or next to Justin Timberlake

Don't forget Brittany Spears who will do the course with a child in a lap and struggle to get out of the car without exposing her self.....

630611 2008-01-16 05:40:00 I have always wondered why the big american cars have jelly ass suspension.
You see them in movies when they brake,the bonnet noses up and down. They dont really handle well here in NZ because of the rough roads and corners. My Friend had a Chev Impala it was like driving jelly on springs although the engine sounded cool. But racing a MGBGT 1800 over the Takaka hill the chev was toast. Are the American roads all straight and smooth as glass?

630612 2008-01-16 06:02:00 Well there are a few roads that have slight curves (www.visitingdc.com) in them, but nothing more than you would have got on most old NZ coastal roads, I really can't say I didn't go much further than Santa monica when i was there, nearly got run over a dozen times because the stupid yanks drive on the wrong side of the road, bloody napoleon lovers Morgenmuffel (187)
