Hahah, you mean "Captain Sloooow"
Re: Which Car Shows Do You Watch? by skyfall: 9:03pm On Feb 14, 2013
LOL at Captain Slow. He's the funniest and most knowledgeable.

Richard Hammond is the smartest/wittiest while Jeremy Clarkson is the most entertaining.

You either love Top Gear US or hate it. But some episodes were very very entertaining. I love the episode where Tanner raced the Rally Fighter car against an airboat.

Top gear USA is under par, the show lacks vitality as compared to BBC Top gear, anchored by jeremy clarkson,Richard Hammond and James May.

Is RPM shown on DSTV? 'Driven' is based in the middle east, so it's not English, and that kills the Fun...

Top Gear
Top gear USA
Top gear Australia
If you have watched the Australian version, you will appreciate what the USA guys are doing. The Aussies are absolutely booooring.

Another show I like is Scrappers for cash on Nat Geo. Two teams buy old cars, break them up for parts and see who can make the highest profit selling them off.

Got me thinking that it could be a viable business for a smart Nigerian. Buy cheap/accidented vehicles whose parts are scarce here from europe, break them up and sell..

crispgg: @Lord-reed
I know our parts come from europe, but are you also aware that now adays more of these tokunbo parts come from locally used accidented, stolen and broken down vehicles.
Moreover, I was referring to cars that are not common on our roads and whose parts are particularly difficult to get from the open market. I know for instance that owners of such vehicles have to order them directly at great cost from europe or the US.


Those sorts of cars are too few for our enterprising brothers to tie up money in their parts. Besides it still salvaged cars that are broken for parts so it's not like the situation is much different.

Watched Top Gear Season 19 episode 3 yesterday on BBC entertainment and got to learn the difference between understeer and oversteer Practically demonstrated by Jeremy Clarkson. Think I'm finally on the way to becoming a guru like Ikenna and Sienna eh?

Haha, saw that episode too. But i've noticed that top gear isn't as educative as its earlier seasons. Now it is more of entertainment and less intrisic disectionof the monster in the hood
