Top Gear featured on 60 Minutes
« on: October 22, 2010, 10:56:58 am »
Thought I'd throuw this out there for all you fellow Top Gear fans.  I saw a commercial for this last night, and looked it up this morning.  The news show 60 Minutes if doing a feature on Top Gear.  Should be interesting to see some behind the scenes stuff.

The episode airs this Sunday on CBS, 7pm eastern.

There's a short preview here:

I didn't realize 60 Minutes was still on.   
Anyway, watched it and was about what I expected - that is, not much - typical 60 minutes blah approach...

A couple of videos for anyone who missed it:

Stig takes Steve Kroft for a ride:

I did love the answer to this question:

Q:  "What's the appeal of The Stig?"
A:  "Well, kids like him because, you know.. they love helmeted things."
