That site has links to torrents for the episodes of Top Gear and 5th gear. Users are very generous when it comes to providing the data for folks to grab.

The ones on BBCA are also edited for time, I think. As mentioned, take a look at finalgear.com for complete high-quality episodes. The new ones are often available via finalgear on Sunday night, within hours of them airing in the UK. Finalgear also has the high definition polar challenge special from this Summer. To give you some idea of the picture quality, here's a frame from the 720p version:

You bet. I always get to watch the show by evening my time of the day it aired.

You've got to give to them, they have an awesome soundtrack. I've looked in credits for the track listing but no luck. There are more than few I'd like to have, any ideas?

Final Gear has a subforum dedicated to the TG episode tracks.

Many thanks.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up and thought this car was worth it's own thread. I find the DBS to be THE most beautiful car ever. I saw it at the LA car show and spend half an hour just staring at it... i know I am a geek. Top Gear will be reviewing it this Sunday with The Stig taking it around the track.

I can't wait.

Check the very first post on this thread.

Good interview with Clarkson on Five Live at the moment, including about James May (not) leaving the show. Maybe a podcast will be available I will check later.

They already put up the excuses that the track was "wet" and Clarkson "dropped oil."

The Stig has already spanked a few F1 drivers. Unless they're trying to set up an upset in advance, I wouldn't put any money on Hamilton.

gameson · 12-02-2007, 10:45 PM

in oil and wet track, only trailed behind The Stig, 1:44.5, Nigel Mansell, 1:44.6, and his time, 1:44.7

all I can say is damn!! This guy is really really quick. I dont really like him because of the way he treated Alonso in Hungary (pit stop incident), but if he is as fast as everybody think, then he is the guy everyone will match for years to come

video is here

awesome, thanks for posting.

Nigel Mansell = The Stig? Right?

JimK · 12-03-2007, 06:57 AM

cool! I don't know how you can't like this kid, so much talent and so affable. I thought he seemed very down to Earth and not too full of himself when I saw him at the USGP.

Cegan09 · 12-03-2007, 07:21 AM

Crudson, if you can find that podcast i'd be interested to hear it. I looked and couldn't find it.

TaxCheat, the stig did a 1:44.5, presumably on a dry track (i'll have to go back and take a look at the old episode to see) then Nigel Mansell with 1:44.6 then Hamilton with 1:44.7, on a wet track with some oil. Hell even if the oil thing was made up that is pretty impressive.

Next week is the 24hour race where they use the fuel made with the rake seed they grew last season. Thats going to be a good watch. http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/nextepisode.shtml
