    I saw the USA Top Gear crew filming over off 951 and Rattlesnake Hammock. They are filming in a church parking lot with three cars. I will post pictures. They should be there today.

    Nice! Although I'll have to admit, I've had a hard time getting interested in the US Top Gear show.

    Love the originals though.

    Let's see some pics when you get a chance!

    They changed the show into nothing but 'comedic' and i use that term loosly, skits. No stig, no car info, no star in res car, just stupid shtick. Once in while tf will test something intersting but thats maybe twice season. Junk

    Who is it even targeted to? Gear heads know it sucks and general viewers dont watch car shows. Amazing it got renewed another season. I imagine ratings are dismal

    I am not a big fan of the show. It was just fun watching it live. This show featured mid-life crisis cars. They had a hot rod T-bucket, Porsche Boxster, and a Corvette. A road course was set-up in a church parking lot with multiple HD cameras. They drained the oil out of the T-bucket hot rod and drove it until it blew up. The Corvette slid into a curb with a stunt man driving. They drove it with flat tires to the finish line. The Porsche was driven into a lake by Tanner. It was entertaining to watch live. The episode will air in January.

    The filming moved to US41 and San Carlos. Then off to Miami today. This is big deal for our little town.
