1 car too far; what a fucking JOKE!!!!!!!!

Postby Desert Dog » September 4th, 2012, 1:29 pm

I have been anxiously waiting for the last 3 months for the TV show "One Car Too Far" to air. It was supposed to be a Jeep TJ with a 4-banger and 31s dropped by helicopters into some of the most remote places on earth and they have to drive their way out. It was supposed to have a British SAS survival expert and an American Professional off-roader as the hosts.

What I have been seeing over the last 2 weeks is the possibly the worst show I have ever watched. I have never been blue-balled this bad before. The "off-road expert" is a whiny little bitch that hates getting dirty and has never even owned an offroad vehicle (he does gumball rallies in Hummers) and the show is COMPLETELY staged and idiotic.

What I have seen over the last two episodes:

1) He never airs down. He will even tie ropes to his wheels like snow-chains rather than air down.
2) He has no clue how to drive and constantly crashes the Jeep into stuff.
3) He tells the audience that his synthetic winch-line could snap and kill people.
4) When the producers obviously try to fake a D35 broken shaft by swapping in a broken one, they don't even know how to use a hi-lift handle to get out - THEY MAKE THE JEEP A FREAKING SLED!!!!! And he calls it a broken "half shaft".
5) There is "conveniently" perfectly cut and shaped logs of equal size laying right where they need to make a bridge.
6) He has no clue how to drive in water or how to prep it for water crossing. He rubs some vasoline over mud, lol.
7) They "conveniently have tubs of vasoline and other supplies in the Jeep when they need it.
8) The driver is a pussy-ass, whiny little biatch, who hates doing anything and getting dirty. The exact opposite of a real off-roader.

I officially took this one off my DVR.

I saw the part with the broken shaft. Did he break that? What happened there. I changed the channel then a few minutes later I see its fixed.

Lame show though. Stupid.

We was just driving down a small hill and the tire fell off. It was obviously staged; they threw in a broken shaft and started filming him drive around on smooth ground until the tire fell off. The host didn't even know what the broken part was, he called it a "half Shaft" :lol3: . Rather than use the hi-lift handle trick, which has been the fix for 20 years, he makes a sled out of a log. Really stupid.

They stage dumb shit like this in the show so the offroad "expert" can show you his stupid fix. They need a guy like Goatman to host this show. That idiot Wu couldn't lick the sweat off of Richard's balls (although Richard might like that).

I don't know how you lasted a full show. I watched it for 10min then changed it. I couldn't stand the "driver" what a tool. EPIC FAIL Discovery Channel.

Thanks for the heads up. Have it on DVR. and hadn't had time to watch it. Plenty of time to delete it. Sucks because I was really hoping it was going to be as good as the concept.

I'm not gonna lie. US Top Gear sucks. The UK Top Gear is awesome. I feel sorry that Tanner Foust has to have that embarrassing show on his record. He's actually a pretty good driver.

Agreed, the US version is horrible. The British Top Gear kicks ass and is funnier than hell.

This is my favorite episode of Top Gear and one of the best programs ever on TV (notice how one car too far ripped it off):

OMG!!! This show is so much worse than terrible!!! It was painful to watch. Wu makes all off-roaders look like a bunch of idiots!

Discovery Channel Epic FAIL!!!

The UK Top Gear is epic! The US one is terrible I have gone to a couple of tapings of the US Top Gear and it is even worse live.

Buahahahah I am so glad I wasn't the only person horribly dissapointed by the show. About the only enjoyment I got out of it was a good laugh.
