The Sun has reported that the BBC is in talks to move its hugely popular motoring show, Top Gear, across the Atlantic.

It is reported that the show will be fronted by current presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. The US show would follow the UK format very closely, but with American cars such as Cadillacs replacing British models.

As a female who is not very interested in cars I would never have expected to like Top Gear, however even I have become a huge fan of the show. It really does have universal appeal, and I think it will do well in the states.

I have to say I really admire Richard Hammond. Just a few months since his almost fatal accident and not only is he back at work, but he is penning an autobiography, writing more newspaper columns than most of us have time to read and now in talks about launching his career in America.
