Top Gear: Season 3

We watched this when it aired years ago and I found this season as a stocking stuffer for my husband for Christmas, and it ended up having our FAVORITE episode on it (RV's). The whole season in its entirely, however, is nonstop laughs. We loved Top Gear USA like no other and love being able to put it on a laugh our asses off!!!

I've watched this before on Netflix a few years ago, and I forgot how good the early days of Jezza/Capt. Slow/Hamster truly were. It was an informative car show sticking to a strict format. While I love what TG/The Grand Tour has become, it's refreshing to see the three argue over cars, without taking any road trips as a trio with impossible goals. The road trips made the show more successful worldwide, and deservedly so. I completely forgot how they abused the Toyota Hilux truck, and yet it would not die. That's in series 3, and it's worth watching a second time.

Not as good as Season 2 or 4 but a step forward in Top Gear USA thinking. No more studio time. Most of the "challenges" are directly from the BBC flagship Top Gear. There are some unique American twists which play well with these presenters.One oddity about this season is the bleeping/editing of curse words. Season 1 is fully edited. Season 2 is fully unedited. This season it's hit or miss. Sometimes in the same breath. Which can be quite funny.

I love Top Gear Usa unfortunately you can't buy series 3 on iTunes in the UK so I had to buy the DVD from USA. Not that this has been a problem it arrived within 2 weeks of release.This is a great series that seems to have been overlooked in the UK because of our version but, I (and lots of others) like this one better. I like the format of it unlike UK top gear, you just get 3 guys having a laugh with some cars. They are all very funny and genuinely are good friends, and seem to have actual knowledge of fixing cars which you don't get in UK top gear.I love this DVD and could watch it everyday!

I think this is one of the best seasons yet. With every season the show really comes into it's own, and the change in this season shows it. I have season 1 & 2 as well. I love to see what Adam Ferrara, Rutledge Wood and Tanner Foust are going to be up to with each episode. I am happy they did away with the "Big Star in a Small Car" segment as well as being in the hanger and focus on cars and the great challenges. I don't know how many friends I have recommended this show to, or just made watch. When season four is available I will be purchasing that as well.

Love this show. So far its a great release, I am just a little disappointed that the audio is censored for season 3 while season 2 was uncensored. Its also a little strange that the original theme song is back for the dvd, while when the episodes aired the them was replaced with something else. Also a little strange how this season the show is labeled Top Gear USA on the dvd while the past 2 seasons were just Top Gear.

There seems to be a divide between those fans of the original BBC "Top Gear" and those of us who also love America's version. There is plenty of room in the world for all of us.These video collection from America's Top Gear will leave you with both a ton of information about cars. Which quite honestly, I have no interest in. But what I do love is the hysterical antics of the men. I could watch their show every week and never get tired of it.

The Clarkson/Hammond/May trio is still pretty new here, but it's fun to watch the series grow from these early episodes into the phenomenon that it would eventually be.While later seasons (and the new Grand Tour program as well) are definitely more entertaining, these old episodes still provide some laughs. It's also fun to see how many of the gimmicks they tried just went nowhere too.Check em out!

I recieved this DVD throught the post earlier today, and what can I say, it is one of the best TopGear DVDs to date and is by far the biggest volume in the Challange Series lasting 235 minutes and covering 2 discs.The DVD features some of the best challenges from the last few series including the British Leyland Challenge, the race across Japan and the Lorrying Challenge. Like the previous volume each challenge has it's own DVD chapter allowing you to easily select the challenge you wish to watch.The DVD feature many laughout loud moments, and if you choose one TopGear DVD to own, I'd recomend this as it consists of some really entertaining footage which is certainly worth the watch! and in addition to the main features you get several extra features including; the Cool Wall uncut, an extended interview with Boris Johnson, extended coverage of the Top Gear awards, and rides with Stig.The only little niggle, is I hope that one of these DVDs will have the van challenge on where Hammond tipped his van, but apart from that, this is top notch TV.This is an ideal DVD for any TopGear fan!

If you are a Top Gear fan you will love this. If you are not a Top Gear fan... you will love this. If you are a tree hugging hippy who hates cars (like me)... you will love this. An an Irishman, it shows like this that make me love the English. Clarkson is wonderfully witty. As he gets older and fatter, he looks more ridiculous in shiny sports cars, and this makes it even funnier. Every challenge here is a joy to watch. My personal favourites were 'Top Gear vs The Germans', 'Race across Japan' and 'Fox Hunting'.The fact that each challenge looks so throw away and improvised hides the fact that this is a hugely polished show, obviously put together by a cast and crew that have huge talent and take great love and pride in what they produce.This is the perfect gift for Christmas. Even better, buy all three volumes on Top Gear Challenges. They are all 5 star.

The Top Gear challenges are fun to watch over and over again, and this is a compilation of some of the best races and tests from the recent series. Three rubbish Alfas, the BL buckets, and a race across Japan - it's not the winning or succeeding (the challenges are always 'ambitious - but rubbish', after all), but the hysterics along the way. Some of my favourite moments include May refusing to tow Hammond's broken Spider any further after being rear-ended once too often; Clarkson jubilantly shouting 'Amy's back! Amy's back!' when he manages to reactivate his disabled satnav in Tokyo; and Hammond teasing Clarkson about his fawning interview with Will Young in the extended Top Gear awards bonus feature. Fantastic. (I only wish there were more challenges to watch on DVD - where's the Blackpool race, or the caravanning holiday?)

These discs include some of the challenge parts of certain episodes. The disc aren't very user friendly and not very well edited for when the rest of the programme come on. I would have preferred the DVD to show the entire episode. Good for the price.

Good
