New Season of Top Gear

The new season of Top Gear aired earlier tonight in England. These won't come to BBC America for 6 months, so we will have to make due with torrents for now.

Top Gear - [14x01] - 2009 11 15 [FoV] avi [HDTV Sourced] : TV Shows > Top Gear - Mininova

I'm downloading now, excited to see what is in store this season.

Good news. Thanks for posting. The d/l speed sucks though. I have peaked at 20.7 kB/s.

I swinging between 120-200 kb/s right now. The speeds will improve a lot by tomorrow as the share ratio should get a lot better after the first wave is done downloading.

We haven't even seen season 13 on BBC America, and they started season 14. Sheesh.

Watched it last night. The interview with Bana sucked.

1) Of course people in the USA watch the show, idjits.
B) Clarkson was in Bana's car movie yet interviewed him as if he knew nothing. Too stupid for words IMO. Clarkson gave one of the best lines of the movie too.

Romania was neat. I loved the Sandero.

The accident in the Sandero almost seemed legitimate. James acting was fairly believable and the shots of the camera crew made it looked like everyone was surprised. Maybe they got lucky this time and did not have to stage the humor.

I really want to go to Europe and drive the Stelvio Pass and that road in Romania.

Well, this was my first ever TopGear from our friends the BitTorrent. I had no idea that BBCAmerica was hacking up the feed THAT badly. And I bet DishNetwork makes it even worse.:-(

It's like the first time you get glasses, you never knew how much you were missing.

It is amazing how much BBC america hacks up the British episodes. The first time I saw a BBC america episode I was stoked, but alas i walked away with dissapointment.
