The Mole has just wandered through the Top Gear office and noticed that everyone’s watching this, an homage to the telly show by three 20-somethings from California:
They’ve basically done a cheap car challenge and tried to find the greatest road in Cali. “They’ve cartainly been paying close attention,” said one TV type.
If you think you can do better, than point The Mole in the right direction. Plus, if you manage to get thorugh all six parts we’d like to know your thoughts.













What do you think?

It’s not horrible, and I commend them for attempting it (and coming up with quite a bit of footage to actually put something together). The editing isn’t all too bad, but the hosts were just……fake. They were trying to hard to be “TopGear” versus being themselves (especially with the over-exaggerated laughs & trying to be clever).
It’s decent (decent enough that I watched it all), but if they were a little more genuine in who THEY were instead of trying to be TopGear, I’m thinking it would have turned out much better.
Well done guys, but next time tone it down a bit (the fake-ness that is)

fake? hardly. they seem quite natural in front of the camera and they are clearly just being themselves and having a great time. It doesn’t seem fake or like they’re “trying” to be anything to this viewer.
Well done, lads.

That collection of films has to be the worst rip-off ever done by the Americans…..I am actually very angry at the Americans because of that film only the people down under can rip off topgear because they are the only colony to get it right (they recognise the queen as their monarch)… I don’t want hear the word Fi-art again they really can’t talk get your own show America!

I watched 3.06 of it and that was all I could take. It is horrible! Americans trying to do what British do best is just revolting. (With the US version of Couplings as the worst) Americans are just so thin, good looking and stupid. Not at all like the British who are poorly clad, ugly and wonderfully intelligent!

First things first… That Fiat is hold your breath as it passes gorgeous, it didn’t overheat in the California sun even during the “waste fuel challenge” even though it would be nice to have a 90′s BMW for that price its my pick for the winner…
Okay so it wasn’t as humourous or entertaining as Top Gear but these guys had fun and its a film about them doing just that…. The camera, editing and production work was sublime especially for three random guys….
Easily more entertaining to watch than TGAU and FIFTH GEAR if only because it followed Top Gear’s format without being a shameless copy…
Hats off to them!
