370 on Top Gear

samb03 · 11-28-2010, 11:26 PM

the blind test driver is a comedian friend of Adam Ferrara. Having a drift compitition with Tanner against 2 non competition drivers wouldn't be fair at all. Adam ferrara is a stand up comedian and the bearded guy is some journalist if I remember right. The show is more based on color commentary than the actual cars. The Brittish show is much better but I am going to give the US version a little time to settle out the kinks. It takes time to build chemistry and figure out who needs to do what segments.

The bearded guy, Rutledge Wood, is a moron who used to work for Speed channel as one of their NASCAR pre-race show people, except he wasn't actually one of the analysts or reporters... just a guy they paid to make a fool out of himself in "entertaining" filler segments. He basically has no credible background to support his doing anything on television under any circumstance. Ever.

Not what I exspected for the drift but I liked it anyways.

A waste.

That explains it all.

Yep. If he was a former driver and/or had real technical knowledge and a good television personality it would make sense, but unfortunately he's not.

meh

I may check out future episodes during the next few weeks but so far this show is a dud. 16 minutes watching amateurs drifting? Please...

370zproject · 11-29-2010, 12:42 AM

what did they say bout the Z?

ThoriumHotdog · 11-29-2010, 12:52 AM

I haven't fired it up yet but it sounds like the show hasn't gotten any better since the first episode. If they continue to piss off the owners of each car they feature they'll end up with a nice audience of 3, their moms.
