Buggery. I watch BBC world and they always advertise the show but the silly limeys at bbc hq always use uk standard time for the air times, making it a waste of my time to work out when anything is actually on in Japan. Its not also on in the USA.

Im from Surrey. Thing is, I know about greewich time, but watching the beeb world in japan and seeing "Top Gear on at 10 pm...uk time" gets my goat. If they can re-dub the shows and even the news into japanese via an extra audio channel, then how hard could it be to put a Japan centric schedule of whats on eh? Not too hard. I cant be bothered to work it out myself.
Mind you, the Beeb tried to show their normal stuff here in japan...for about 5 months and then their normal show channel went bust.
They didnt even advertise it on bbc world...chortle.

I actually saw an XKR a month or so ago, and for the life of me couldn't tell that it was a Jag and not a DB9 until I saw the front of it. Maybe Aston being up for bid will be a plus for the company. Ford's reliability and construction(as long as it isn't Jeremy's GT

) isn't worth making the brand just as bland as their others(like Mazda/Ford/Mercury in the US).

I us saw a Top Gear Special in Japan on BBC World where Clarkson et all pit an aston martin coupe against a porsche 011 and some computerised engined BMW on a closed-off road on the isle of man.
How old was that?
