Top Gear is back on the Air in the UK - Let the BBC know you want it on in the US
Top Gear is back on this week in the UK. It is not listed to air on Discovery according to the search on The Discovery Channel web site. I decided to see if it might be on BBCAmerica. Well it's not on BBCAmerica but you can let them know you would like it to air on BBCAmerica by selecting it on a feedback form on the BBCAmerica site. Go here to request it:

Done.
HRH can export his organic crap (an oxymoron on several levels), but why can't the BBC export the 'good stuff'?

Done. Fingers crossed! I just read a couple of books by Jeremy Clarkson- pretty good stuff. Pity he has such a dislike for the 911, thought I do seem to remember him being particularly smitten by a RUF cab...
Cheers, Paul.

Well you guys can rest easy, Clarkson was at his worst this week.
On the upside, in an Isle of Man (no speed limit) shootout of 997 C2S, BMW M6 and Aston Martin V8 Vantage the C2S was much faster with a significant power deficit. I want one. |

Was just in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and now in India. Its showing on BBC in all three places and new versions.
Well worth seeing, and the last one I saw was of them driving a new Bentley at 195 mph in the desert somewhere. Joe A

Phil,
Sitting here in Mumbai (Bombay) and just watching the Top Gear show you mentioned. Excellent one especially with the Porsche and two others. Had to laugh where the Porsche beat the other two cars on the road test, even with 150 hp shortage. Course its being done in the rain did not hurt! This is well worth waiting until December and its arrival in the states. JoeA

I've got the latest episode downloaded, but haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet. I've probably got 20-30 hours of Top Gear and Fifth Gear that I need to watch.

Please God, do not let Disco import TopGear and butcher it until its unrecongnizable as they have done in yester year. Keep it holy dear Lord, and let those of us across the pond bask in all its downloaded glory. And we ask that those of who do not know the depths of thine devine internetted technology should learn thy ways, or suffer in gear-headed need. We pray of thee, Amen.

Mike,
Check all your Cat5 cable connections then reboot the systems. If no luck borrow another WiFi hub and try that. Mine shot craps a year ago and started losing hard wired ports. Finally one month after the frigging warranty expired all but one of the wired ports died and Linksys refused to cover it. Got a new Netgear WiFi hub and it works great and lots faster than the old one. Course its the "G" version which helps. JoeA
