That’s hopefully moving to cable. If I knew anything about this journalism biz, three weeks ago you would have read, “Dude claiming to be Top Gear producer mentions USA show destined for cable between bumming smokes and chatting up my fiancée at bar-b-q.” But alas, mice, men, etc. Here’s today’s story. The new Knight Rider was [...]
Who knows. NBC hasn’t said a thing about the UK’s gift to car geekery or its US debut. What they have said is that the atrocity that is the Knight Rider remake is guaranteed another nine episodes — making it all the way through the remainder of the season. I was an impressionable tyke when [...]
Future alleged Top Gear USA host and X Games rally medalist, Tanner Foust is also a good friend of Autofiends. He’s off to Europe for the ultimate driving holiday with his other TV show, Speed TV’s Supercars Exposed, to drive exotic metal in exotic locations — Lambo at the Nurburgring anyone? Tanner lives the life [...]
In about 8 minutes. And this is going to be the first time any of the three American hosts have done any sort of media anything together. It should be good radio for car geeks, as Adam and Tanner both know their stuff (actually, Adam might be a touch car-OCD). Of course, both Tanner and [...]

It appears that Top Gear [...]
Some things you may already know about Tanner Foust: He’s a successful professional racer. He’s the 2007 US Formula Drift champion and currently leading the 2008 championship. Foust contests the US Rally America championship and won the 2007 X-Games Rally Super Special beating action sports super star, Travis Pastrana and World Rally Championship legend, Colin [...]
We can all breathe a big sigh of relief. At some point back in 1987 Jay Leno said it would be impossible to do Top Gear in the US because sponsors would get pissed if the hosts said bad things about their cars. OK, it was earlier this year, but 21-years ago in internet time. [...]
Adam Carolla, Tanner Foust and Eric Stromer — these three will be hosting the US version of every piston head’s favorite TV show, Top Gear. In truth, we’ve known about Adam and Tanner since 1997 (feels that way) but the BBC and NBC were very tight lipped about former soap opera heart throb and current [...]
