As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Skinners Union
carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced
hands,
the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the Haynes shop manual.

Subj: USA?? Top Gear
Top Gear could be U.S. bound with British hosts
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6539111.stm)
Is The Stig headed to the States? It appears that the wildly popular
automotive TV show, Top Gear, could be heading to these shores (again). The
BBC and
The Sun newspaper have reported that there are again plans to do a Top Gear
U.S. version, but this time with current hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard
Hammond, and James May. Previous attempts at doing an American Top Gear lost
the
magic when they tried to replicate the show with different presenters.
Although
airing the current UK show on Discovery has made some fans happy, getting
the lads to cover more American cars and feature more American celebs will
probably draw an even bigger American audience. To that end it is said that
the
U.S. show will be just like the UK version, but will include more American
cars, and U.S. stars doing their darndest to beat The Stig.
The deal hasn't been confirmed by BBC Worldwide, but there have apparently
been talks. Top Gear, in case you don't know, is an international Emmy winner,
which recently wrapped its most recent season with 8 million viewers tuning
in for the finale.
A new U.S. version sounds intriguing. We say bring it on. Maybe if they're
forced to drive more American cars on American roads in American driving
conditions, they'll start to understand why their current negative impressions
don't hold water on this side of the pond.
