The reason why I like Top Gear...
Ok, was just watching the new episode of TG and made me think about life a bit more.
Well, let me explain.
TG is basically a motoring show where car lovers gather and watch 3 blokes cocking about and driving really fast cars. Now, there is a segment of this show where they race from one place to another, one will do it in a car, the others will go by the most common means necessary. For example, they had to get from London to Oslo, which is quite far by ferry and very, very far by car and see who can get there the fastest.
Now in this new episode, they had to go from Northern Canada to the magnetic North Pole. One will be racing by a car, obviously, and the other will be racing by a sled being pulled by a team of ten Canadian Inuit Dogs. Now, it may look like a full-on conclusion to you, but during their race, they had to suffer from the blistering cold weather, go over huge bolders and ice and overcome physical as well as mental breakdown. Bear in mind, help is a couple of hours away when your lives can be extinguished in a matter of minutes out here, and you have to look at miles and miles of barren land with no one in it. It lets you feel that you are better off sitting there watching the telly like you don't even bother. But, you can feel their adventurous spirit and will to get to the finish line. Of course there will be a bit of mucking about, but the essence of that spirit has not been lost.

Love the cars, love the cocking about, love the presenters. They are just grown up kids whom never want to grow up. But when the time is right, the conditions are tough, they become mature and manly...
