Top Gear Parents

By | May 13, 2010

***Come out to the Daily Derbi Karting for Charity Day, May 27th!***

If you have followed Daily Derbi for any amount of time, you know that we are passionate about Top Gear. While enjoying each short season, we have often wondered how we would react if we by chance saw Clarkson, May, or Hammond out and about. Several times they have come to the U.S. for one test or another, so the chances are slightly less than astronomical. No matter how we picture our reactions to this imaginary scenario, they never resemble this:

Aside from unexpectedly hilarious reactions, we do feel for these parents. Their shrill screams are akin to the ones we would emit when someone hands us the keys to a 599GTO…seriously, someone please hand us the keys to a 599GTO.

    Ohhhhh my gosh. Imagine if that’s how the Top Gear presenters sounded on every episode….Freaking hilarious nonetheless.

    oh my stars… lol. I don’t think anyone sounded like that at ALL when they were out filming at our Salt Flats meet a couple of years ago. That is pure hilarity though.

    I thought I saw the main guy in Mexico a couple months ago… I tried to be sneaky and take a picture… I’ll try and find it.
