Top Gear Season [Series] 17

[Paul_Heery]

I'm surprised that I haven't seen any posts about the season that started last night.

• Richard is in South Africa to test a bigger, even more rugged alternative to the famous Hummer — the Marauder
• Jeremy tests the new BMW 1M
• James meets up with Olympic Skelton Gold Medal Winner, Amy Williams, and races her in the new Mini Rally Car with WRC champion Kris Meeke
• Jeremy celebrates the 50th Birthday of the Jaguar E-type by driving a modernized version, the Eagle Speedster Eagle : The Jaguar E-Type Speedster
• SIARPC: Alice Cooper

I found the piece on the Marauder to be predictable. Enjoyable, but predictable.

In regard to the 1M, I now want one.

The Jag segment was very cool.

I usually catch Top Gear episodes on Streetfire.net

I don't see season 17 yet ... is it posted any where else on line?

[imcarthur]

Well, I can't really say since torrents are bad, but you might want to go to finalgear.com . . . just something I hear y'know . . .
