Top Gear/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* Someone said the Alabama incident was staged, leading me to believe it probably was...but how the hell do you make up something like that?

** According to [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/features/article6858884.ece an article Richard wrote for the Times], it was very much ''not'' staged-they simply couldn't imagine they would garner such a reaction from the locals.

** It's a believable reaction. A Top Gear Magazine road test of muscle cars in the US mentions a Harley-Davidson rider confronting the writers in a layby and '''pulling a gun''' on them because they overtook him! It's a similar culture clash to the TV episode - in the UK the biker might curse at the car driver or stop and a try and pick a fight but in the southern US the biker grabs his handgun - in the article the British writers were admiring the unintentional irony of somebody waving a gun their face shouting "you tried to kill me!"

* The various lights out through putting out the fire with Pussy drink on the first episode 16 episode. (i can see this going both ways, as it might be difficult to get all those events to occur together in the way they did, but at the same time, they did seem like a strange combination to occur together.)
