The fine gentlemen at Top Gear continue to impress with their inventive programming. Presenter Jeremy Clarkson recently profiled the new and breathtakingly awesome Range Rover Sport (supercharged) for the much revered BBC series. After going over the performance (naught to sixty in 7 seconds, not bad for a SUV), Clarkson took the Range Rover to the proving grounds to do battle with a British Challenger II tank.

One of my favorite weekend past times is watching CBS Sunday Morning. The program tends to have an eye for classic style and covers lots of old school Americana.

Robert Webb and David Mitchell are the British comedians from two of my favorite television programs, Peep Show and the sketch comedy show That Mitchell and Webb Look. Thank god YouTube and Apple TV make it possible for me to keep up with theses hilarious programs.
