And something shot out at me. Wasn't the short bus only supposed to be modified not replaced with a newer model? Does Top Gear USA think we're Idiots and wouldnt notice?

I never saw the beginning, I started once they unveiled the modded bus.....thats weird.

I was spending most of the episode wondering why the fuck they didn't use a fisher plow...

It's just camera effects, it just makes the bus LOOK younger!

Yes. Have you seen the shit The "History" Channel puts out these days.

Oh don't act like TG UK never pulled similar crap. They even admitted that the alfa 4C race against the ATV was a repeat since the camera failed during the first one. For all we know, the original bus had a massive failure and they needed a replacement.

I guess so. It also looks beefier, and the camera adds 10 pounds right?

I knew this was coming, but their still somewhat "educational" and should still be consistent.

That's what I was thinking, But Why wouldnt they just say that in the episode? Its the dishonesty thats bugging me, Shit happens just be honest about it.

I home schooled in 6th grade. and every day my dad came home for work for an hour. I made us grilled chees sandwhiches, and we watched what ever was on history channel. I learned a lot about world history especially WWII, and engineering, the industrial revolution. All that good manly stuff. Now if we did the same thign we'd just be watching re-runs of Pawn Stars.

It may not be the most educational thing to watch but at least it has some educational merit, I mean you could have been watching spongebob

Or a few thousand... I can't really tell that much of a difference, can you?

It ruins the magic for non-car people. Think of all the times they might have pulled it on the UK episodes. And realize that the US version doesn't really have the same segmented format like the UK version to reveal it. It's a bit hypocritical to act like this is something new to TV at all. Now, feel free to complain about the rigged contests where somehow tanner always wins. That's a pain in the ass and just makes for bad TV. TGUS is infinitely better when they let the other hosts win contests. Even if the stig ends up doing the driving, at least it keeps the show coherent. But this particular incident? I don't see it as something worthy of more than a footnote.

If you can't hold TGUS to a double standard vs TGUK, you aren't welcome on the internet. We only have room for hatred and criticism.

I thought it looked newer!! I didn't rewind to confirm though.

They've done this a couple times in the past I believe.

I'll give 'em a pass on that, otherwise it may spoil my ability to buy into the conceit that Tanner actually gave it a 10-in lift, and mounted 40-in wheels with his own two bare hands!

They all do it yes, just a bad example you picked I guess.

Didn't Jezza say, quote "we had to re-run the race as an American had knocked the camera with all the film in it, into the lake"?

But he let the Alfa 4C win anyway.

Very rarely is anything on the history channel relasted to history anymore, people hunting alligators, people finding stolen semi trucks, people performing daredevil stunts, and people logging, REALLY? That's not related to history at all. At least on pawn stars and american pickers they relate the history of the item to the item sometimes, it's still a stretch though, what happened to modern marvels and the other great shows like that? There on H2 but we don't get h2 in our cable package, which sucks
