We watch Top Gear on the BBC America channel of Direct TV.  Funny stuff.

My very favorite Nurburgring vid is one from Top Gear (why doesn't  
Speed Channel run that show?) that shows this whacky, wonderful (and  
very cute) Sabine Schmitz who drives a Ford Transit delivery van  
around the track almost faster than Clarkson's best time is a real  
car. She is awesome and what a gal!  What a driver.
