Yes, Sweet! But I thought this was one of the worst episodes of Top Gear ever! I've watched every (full) episode since 2003. Hopefully there's better stuff to come. Thought I was watching 5th gear there for a second.

Definitely. The roadworks thing was a real snoozer. On the plus side, my wife saw the AMV8 and decided that we should get one. Can't argue with that kind of success.

Does your wife have a single sister! (not that I could afford a Vantage)

They didn't need to put anything good in that episodes since the ratings would be there for the crash footage. At least, I hope that's why the episode was weak.

A bigger problem is that all three sounded overly scripted, like a bad Emmy award presentation.

Even the worst Top Gear is better than the best Fifth Gear with that moronic twerp who knows nothing about cars.

Normal for this episode to be a snoozer...they have been off for a while and need some time to get back to their old self. One would hope

Yes, i know, my comment above was out of line.... you are right. I just remembered how much I hate that Vicki woman, the fat guy and the albino guy who always does the "how many miles per gallon" tests

I do to, actually, at least in small doses. The one I find most annoying, in a way, is Tiff Nedell (his speaking style kind of grates).

Can anyone tell me how to get these downloaded Top Gear episodes on my 5G video iPod? Drag and drop doesn't seem to work.

You'll need a tool to convert Xvid encoded video to MPEG-4. There seem to be several options that I found with Google, but I have no specific experience with any of them.

Try Videora.

I don't have an iPod myself, but it looks like exactly what you need.

Pretty sure it's the right one. Says it was updated four hours ago, so the user count doesn't mean much.

I now see 236/1574.
