It’s a rather unremarkable – if cold – weekend in November for us here in the UK. However, we understand that over the pond you’re going to be giving thanks through the medium of food. Lots of it.
So while that big bird is marinading in your stomach, don’t forget that Sunday at 10/9c is the second ever episode of Top Gear USA on the History Channel.
In this week’s episode, presenter Tanner races an Evo against two skiers down a mountain in Alaska; Rutledge finds out if Aston Martin has solved a horsepower problem in the new Vantage; and Adam joins them in a massive drifting competition (featuring cheating, by all accounts).
Dominic Monaghan (him out of Lost) represents our side of the pond on the Top Gear track.
If you missed the first one, you can watch it on the History Channel website right here. As long as you’re in America, that is. It’s also available for free on the Playstation Network, apparently.
The rest of us will have to wait until it makes it outside the US borders: we’ll keep you up to date on that.
Let us know what you think of this week’s episode below as usual, and have a good Thanksgiving weekend. It’s been a bit of a sad day in Britain for fans of turkey, so make sure you roast up a good one in memory of our dear old Bernard.

Top Gear USA , you’re not there yet just as you mentioned but I’m sure you’ll get there. Keep up the good work and please don’t stop mocking European/Brit car’s.
We want to see american car’s beat the European ones. It would be easy , just race cars in the same price bracket. The Brits would suck.

I found the Moonshine challenge entertaining and maybe they should just stick to the challenges. The US guys just can’t present the other feature of the show. Also, can someone please revoke Taner’s parking pass? He sucks the life out of the show and has the personality of Danica Patrick, but not nearly as nice to look at.

I don’t know if you lot are aware of this but if you want a fix in the TG UK off season and don’t want to be stuck with all the copies, (I think there is even a Russian one now) then try Fifth Gear…
)
Not as good as TG UK but a LOT better than the TG franchise outlets.
P.s. did you know Clarkson was on this show back in the early days (I don’t think it was called Fifth Gear then
