Top Gear, back in black.
FYI for all you Gearheads out there...wait scratch that. FYI to everyone. The new series of Top Gear is back and looking good. You like Ice Cream trucks jumping over blow up bouncy castles? Me too. So go download the new season!
If you are Torrent familiar here is a killer site to download the whole episodes like true Top Gear addicts like myself do. But make sure you give it a whole night to work...ive got DSL and it took 6hrs to download the whole thing. Enjoy! http://gear.viper007bond.com/ If you dont know about Torrent and or just cant read the instructions right here is the old fashion way to get some episode segments. Enjoy! http://www.sleepy-fish.com/other_veh.htm

NP, just wait for the part when they land a C-130 on the beach to "drop off" a Jaguar S-type R to battle the 300c and VX-R in the sad! Wicked fun!

I've got about 10 GB's of Top gear downloaded, and I have another 5 GB queued up to download as soon as I can get them. I love the show. It's funny to hear them jab at Americans, and they aren't excited about the Germans in general Porsche's specifically either, but the show is ultra entertaining regardless. It's so nice to hear someone pronounce a car "total rubbish, the the worst car I've ever driven". Plus they are entertaining. 5th Gear isn't bad either, Tiff needle, or is that Alan Decadenet, I can't remember, has a contagious enthusiasm, and the blonde girl is entertaining and nice to look at too, but they can't quite match the entertainment value of the 3 fellas from Top Gear and Stig. If only they had a cute girl to look at... (everybody knows the only thing better than hot cars is hot cars with cute girls).

Yes, it's great to see "Top Gear" back - always good for a laugh! The only major downside is that Clarkson really doesn't like Porsches much! He wasn't very complimentary about the new 997 last week - said it looked and went exactly like the 996 (he must be blind!!) and he reckoned the build quality wasn't great - the gear knob came off in his hand! However he loved the "S"!
He also tends to be very pro British cars (well it is a British show!) and if you listened to him you'd swear that Aston Martins were the fastest, best handling and most reliable (!!!!!!) cars in the world. One of his favourite "party pieces" is to abuse any American car that makes it across the Atlantic - except that he recently changed his Ferrari 360 for a Ford GT!!!!! Still I wouldn't miss the show every Sunday ....... |

Yup, Top Gear is a great laugh, and Jeremy Clarkson totally makes the show. My GF loves it as it's so refreshingly un PC.

Clarkson likes Porsches like the 944 & 928. It's the old "tail happy" 911s he hates.

That show is great. Tiff is the guy on 5th gear not Alain. Favorite episode of 5th gear is when Tiff takes and F1 LM and does a huge burnout, donut on the infield grass then slams it around the track bashing on every reviewer that said that car wasnt good enough haha. Im just a bit partial to that car anyway.
Now if I take all my music off my old Ipod i have 40 gigs worth of top gear....

My favorite is when Tiff takes out an Enzo. Drives the piss out of it and posts a quicker lap than the Ferrari test driver!
At the end, the Ferrari test driver peers over Tiff's sholder and says, "Bello". -W

Would be great if their ladder system was consistant. But its not because they arent all done in the same conditions so it means virtually nothing.
