I love Top Gear! That show is fantastic.
American's watch Nascar and car auctions. While Top Gear gets an Aston Martin (think james bond) and races a french passenger train from paris to the coast - and beats it with enough time to grab a cup of coffee before the train arrives.
Which is only secondary in awesomeness to the time they got a subaru WRX and raced a bobsled down the side of an ice and snow encased hillside in switzerland or some place....and won. Without anyone dying!
Perhaps the signs were an attempt to bait people into chasing them out of town, but waiting for the locals to strap the lawnchairs into the back of their rusted out trucks took to long.
