Top Gear filming in my hometown!

Top Gear was in Henderson, LA today filming an upcoming episode. Tanner was real cool and I got to hang out with him for an extended period. My uncle is the Chief of Police in Henderson and everyone already knows what I do. I have to say it has it's perks once in a while.












I know the location where they will be filming tomorrow and I was invited to attend. Anyone local want to join me?

It's an LS3 powered Rally Fighter. The Air boat also had an LS3, but it was supercharged with a TVS 1900. They stated over 800HP.
