I was shocked that Jeremy was in a car doing over 200k at Laguna Seca
with a race suit and no helmet..

That has to be the strangest bit of Top Gear I have ever seen

Off the top of my head:
Christmas special. Christmas 2005.

Golf R32 clobbers BMW 130 M Series.
Classic sports car beats Max Power.
Unfunny bloke from Little Britain takes the sensible car
around Top Gear's circuit ... slowly.
Laguna Seca beats Clarkson
(aka real life beats playstation).

BBC International cuts out lots of stuff.
SBS gives people the shits with more commercial breaks.

No point in watching Top Gear on SBS anymore. The "edited" version SBS
screens sucks. Downloading the shows off Torrent is the go. Just watched
episode 3 of this years series a week ago.

**Usual stuff: They raced an MX5 against a greyhound. The greyhound won.

I noticed that too, I wonder if the track officials were aware he was
not wearing a helmet?

Does anyone notice that they frequently often only have one hand, and sometimes
briefly NONE, on the steering wheel, and turning towards the camera, when going
the absolute clappers, or are these bits added on later at low speeds ?

Clarkson will happily powerslide anything with wheels while driving with 2
fingers and chatting casually.

Please remember you just replied to a person that couldn't get out of
the bus lane as he was too scared to take a hand off the wheel to use
his indicator.

Filmed in the USA, the land of litigation where everyone is even more
scared of being sued than we are making it even more amazing that he
wasn't wearing a helmet.

It's obvious that he doesn't use his brain to speak. :-)

Captain Slow in the Veyron was the opposite. Hardly a squeak after
he passed 300 km/h. :-)

If you noticed the glazed look of terror in the eyes I expect he was
to busy self soiling to say much .

For his size Id say that he tried to wear one but couldnt get in the car
with it on. At 6ft 3 hes too tall to fit in with a helmet.
