laotsu Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I have recently started watching the web-series Roadkill and love the ratty spirit of the show, tell your favorite episodes/moments from the show. Alternately you could talk aboot TopGear UK but that show aint as ratty cool. Quote Link to comment
Komeuppance Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Roadkill is great, I liked the trips to Alaska the best. It's funny to see them appreciate the small things, like insurance and/or registration, a properly working cooling system, and seat belts. They even mention a Z project car in a recent clip. -Robert Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 The crushing a Prius episode was great. I'm very much a fan of roadkill. Makes me want to get a big block and something old and domestic. In fact, I'd like a gigantic 77ish Bronco. I would mob the shit out of that in the summer, for about 2 days a month when I wanted to pay for gas for it. Still cool though. ;) Quote Link to comment
dr.feltersnatch Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 either this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D76kY5QiIM4 or this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U81_0waqEWA Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Leaf blower charger is such a killer episode! I just found a rusted out Monza at the local PnP and totally thought of that one. ratrod vs. lambo is epic cause they talk aboot how the two cars apply to different kinds of douches. 1 Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I'm telling you, this one is the best!! 2 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 So is this a youtube only show? Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 So is this a youtube only show? yes, very cool even though i don't really dig Hot Rodder or Motor Trends, they do stuff like engine swappin an El Camino in Summit Racing's parking lot. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 If they could have started Top Gear USA with David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan, they would have been way more popular. In fact, I may do my part to get some big block, just because of Roadkill. Plus I want big hp/torque. ;) Like as in, way bigger than the potential output of 2.5 or 3 liters. I'm thinking like 7 liters or so. Quote Link to comment

laotsu Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 just watched the Aussie Roadkill... true definition of hoonin' 'round. Quote Link to comment
ktm Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have not seen Roadkill (but intend to catch up shortly), however, my favorite Top Gear episodes include the Vietnam and Bolivia specials. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I think the Top Gear episode where they visit the Nurburgring, and they try to get around it in less than 10 minutes, is one of my favorites. And then the German girl, who coaches people on how to drive it. gets around the ring in about 10:02, or something like that, in what I think was a diesel commercial mini van, something like a Transit Connect. Sabrina Schmidt is her name, I think. 2 Quote Link to comment
Nissan_Boy85 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Favorite Roadkill...toughie. Either the Australia one or the Cheap Truck Challenge. Now to watch the latest episode while I figure out how I missed it a week ago. Quote Link to comment
Komeuppance Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 the Nuremberg Ring Uhh... close, but that name is infamous for a very different reason than Nurburg. Sabine Schmidt is hott. -Robert Quote Link to comment
