As many of you know, I literally have not gone anywhere this year. No vacation, no road trips; really haven't been to the airport, train station or outside LA/OC/Riverside County. What ever we do, where ever we go on the weekend, we have to be back by 5pm for bath time.
One of my favorite, if not my favorite TV shows is BBC's Top Gear. It's been especially great this particular year, stuck in the house. The show really took on a greater dimension. In some strange level, the show has somewhat satisfy the desire to jet set around the globe visiting interesting far off places. I have lived vicariously, more than ever in the epic adventures shared on the show.
For those of you who don't know the show; it is a car show. It features three presenters and they talk about everything automobile. They feature every week, the latest, fastest and coolest cars on the planet. It's a show any 10 to 80 year old boy can relate to.
Some of my favorite episodes are the epic races. The truly grand races across Africa, North Pole, Vietnam, USA, Japan and various European destinations just to name a few. Being a car show, I love the point view from the road. Unlike many travel shows it gives you an unique perspective as if you're traveling right along side in the passenger seat. Experiencing the various difficulties a regular traveler would.
I love how ordinarily and normal the three presenters are. Again the show makes the average, boring, mundane dad; house wife and guy feel as they are part of their splendid adventure. I might not have ever been to Europe, Great Britain but I can certainly get a great feel for how the streets of London are. With each episode; I am taking my virtual vacation.
If you love the show, chime in on what you like about it? share your favorite clips and I'll share mine? it's going to be a long weekend...!
