I know what you mean about Top Gear, but they've managed to bridge the gap between nerdy car programme, and brought it into main stream entertainment, both my wife and daughter who dont watch car programmess laugh out loud at Top Gear sometimes. I must say I usually feel a little well embarrassed for the presenters watching fifth gear..

Personally, even though Im a life long bike rider/builder/enthusiast, and JC's anti bike, I still think he's entertaining, his european tour series (forgot the name) and the trinny and Susannah make over he had, show hes not afraid of taking the p155 out of everything, including himself.
Its nice to have a mainstream TV bo whose not pc obsessed.

In a way, I'm glad kit cars and modern bikes dont make it onto mainstream telly; it would just give more fuel for the 'ban it' merchants if they knew how cheap real performance is.
