Top Gear Season 10

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Top Gear is back today, [10X01] aired 43 minutes ago and the EZTV rip is out already!



In the first of a new series Jeremy, Richard and James drive three lightweight supercars across Europe in search of the best roads. Plus Jeremy finds out what happens when you put a Bentley engine into a VW Golf, and Dame Helen Mirren is the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car.

[Hakkola]

:thumbsup: COOL.

Anybody know the name of the song during the part where they preview the season? I have it on a cd somewhere, but not sure which one.

Some of the preview stuff looked just AWESOME, (preview in this episode). Should be another great season.

Edit-
VVV Yes this episode is pretty good.

[pattyt]

it took me like 45min to d/l that ep :nut:

[pattyt]

yea theres something seriously wrong with my whole torrent setup and i cant figure it out :banghead:

[icecreamvan]

Smashing episode! It was so brilliant that I watched it twice!

[treg50]

Not my cup of tea, guv'na! :barf:.

30 mins garbage + 30 mins rubbish = 1 hour wasted (good thing fast-forward was invented)

Summary/ **spoiler**: The 'rubbish' portion was the biggest waste of time with a 911 GT3RS and a Gallardo Superleggera. They were not reviewed in the proper Top Gear way. They are not given a Stig fast lap. They are taken on a road-trip to find the best road in small patch of central europe. The trip is filled with Clarkson's usual Britain-is-superior cracks and the usual bickering between the 3 hosts. The Bugatti Golf is a one-off unfinished product, "a supermodel that looks like a jail warden", and yet it was given a Stig lap. Not that it really matters but it's slower than a CL65 and STi WR1 and faster than an R32. Oh and the highlight of the show is a 62 year old actress (Mirren) in a reasonably priced sedan.

Check out Fifth Gear if you have a chance, it's a good alternative:

Fifth Gear gave it's review of the 911 GT3RS three or four weeks ago --- that was more interesting. It ran the Gallardo vs the Ducati 999 was pretty cool too. Of course there was also the UK Civc Type R vs. the Japanese Civic Type R, great comparo. TT manual vs. TT DSG. Even the Mini Diesel vs. Mini Gasoline. Amongst other stuff.

[Dj_Stylz]

Really Fifth gear? I watched it also and i enjoyed Top gear much more.

I think you're missing the point of Top Gear. The trip was amazing - the "usual bickering" between the hosts is a great highlight, and there are some truly funny parts in there (like when they were swearing at Jeremy for going to Italy). Top Gear is an motoring entertainment program, not a car show. You want comparisons, I guess Fifth Gear is the place. You want hilarity, coolness and mouth-dropping scenery, along with THE best chemistry between hosts on TV, watch Top Gear.

I think you missed the point.

You want a proper car show with kinda smart ass comments, you watch 5th Gear.

You want entertainment and what the good old boys are going to piss off next in their cars, you watch Top Gear.

5th Gear is basically the OLD Top Gear until it was canceled due to low viewership.

Other stuff like the Smart Monster car? A celebrity going to chauffeur school ? A quick review of cars in the parking lot without driving them? Some celebrity taking his bike license exam? Shaky camera in the cafe while 2 hosts converse trying to be witty? *YAWN!*

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed a lot of the Fifth Gear segments like the RS4 versus E46 M3, R8 versus 911 4S, Bugatti Verayon factory tour and others, but Fifth Gear can be far from enternaining and I do enjoy watching Top Gear more.

Thankfully both shows exist though and I can fast forward through the boring bits.

[rmk]

Aside the the amazing cars, and brilliant filming of TG, the banter between the three of them is classic. I love Britain and Top Gear :love:

I used to like Top Gear, but then Clarkson got his late-life-crisis period and he got extra critical and naggy like an old woman. TG still has a few minutes worth watching don't get me wrong.

The talkshow interview with some british actor who then drives a fast lap in a Chevy Optra is a snoozefest. TG's main man Clarkson is a bitter, sarcastic, annoying, overdramatic, bitchy OLD man! lol

The two hosts in a cafe, lol. At least they're more natural and relaxed. The TG hosts try way to hard too get laughs. When they joked about the an STi pre-release, press-image I was like, "wow, they need a writer or some new hosts." It's a pre-release image, everyone knows that, it's not funny, it's just nothing. They're almost as lame as Leno, except Leno laughs at his own jokes.

Yay fast forward button :clap:

[l/l/rX]

i watched 2 eps of fifth gear and wow...booooooooooooring shit :zzz:

top gear is a lot more entertaining and i like their show setup better. (the way they do the show)

5th gear sucks

they burned the top gear prop shed down

hehehehh :D

[blinkme_210]

I like watch both shows, for different reasons. Like everyone else in here, I watch Top Gear for the hilarity and chemistry between the hosts factor. I watch Fifth Gear for Jason & Tiff's awesome driving; Vicky's school girl squeal & enthusiasm annoys the hell outta me.

Long live Top Gear!

[pattyt]

if u go to the topgear site you can watch some segments that were cut out of the news segment, pretty hilarious stuff... not gonna spoil it for anyone though.

well said

[teggypimp95]

I love Top Gear. Good episode. I tried to get into 5th gear while i was waiting for the new Top gear season, just couldent do it. SOOO boring. And Tiff seems to think that a car only has good handeling if he can bring it around a corner side ways.

In this one, they were not saying the porshe and the gallardo were rubbish, they were saying for instance that this new gallardo was 26,000 pounds more than the original one, and he dident notice much of a differnce. Not 26,000 pounds worth anyway. And richard found the same with with the porshe. The austin was just a decked out race car, not ment for a hot summer road trip lol.

Up coming episodes look awesome!

Tiff and Jason are funny. I like that they compare speed, handling/track performance, and also the 'fun' aspect of power-sliding/drifting in case that interests you. 350Z vs Z4? That was pretty awesome. TG, interviewing Helen Mirren... NOT awesome, lol.

I thought the FourFun (Smart Car + Unimog) was pretty funny. Then again I liked it when Top Gear launched a rocket-powered Mini Cooper off a ski-jump, that was great.
:thumbsup:

[Xtrema]

Stars in reasonably priced car is the weakest segment of TG because we don't follow celebrities in UK. But that's probably what rope in the female viewers there.

[Hash_man]

Hmmm... thanks for the heads up people... totally missed this thread gotta download when I get home.

[tawheed]

awesome episode.. LOVE top gear.. i hit some of those roads last year in europe on a motorcycle..

[Evro]

i agree with what most pepl are saying here, 5th gear is boring, tiff is not a particularly amusing host, love him or hate him clarkson is still a funny guy.

by the way ^^^^^^^^ where is that, the sanbernardino pass??

[/////AMG]

I used to watch fifth gear but it gets so boring at times.
Top Gear is all entertainment even thought it's not 100% car test/reviews.

[VWbloke]

Here's a link to a page with a 690MB avi of the episode. It downloaded for me in 10 minutes.

yep - exactly :) we went up instead of down though

[dino_martini]

Does the Torent program you use make a differance in the speed of the torent? I used Bit Torent for last weeks episode and it took almost 18 hours to 'download'. If I use a program other then Bit Torent will it speed up the torent?

[Evro]

this is kindof off topic but i would love to hear some peoples other favorite episodes (i'm downloading as many as i can haha) - i loved the one where te race the SLR against the boat to Oslo

[pattyt]

finalgear.com ...just go to shows and click on top gear and u can see what happens in every episode when u click over them.

[HyperZell]

I think my favorite has to be the one where they take 3 supercars - the Ford GT, Pagani Zonda and Ferrari F430 - to the Millau bridge in France. 7x3, I believe.

[Xtrema]

I haven't seen a Fifth Gear episode for a while so I d/l a few episodes for season 12.

God damn, what's with the shaky camera in a busy diner BS. I get a seizure watching it. It's annoying as heck. And Vicki looks like either on drug and out of chemo which doesn't help. Tiff is too old for this shit. Jason and that new kid are boring. Only guy I can stand is Tom.

Why?:confused:

[schocker]

some drunk men are playing billiards

[Xtrema]

I think that Jeremy's beef. They keep getting preempted by snooker.

[michael_tseng_]

:thumbsup: for Top Gear
:thumbsup: for Jeremy Clarkson
:thumbsup: for Richard Hammond
:thumbsup: for James May

[BerserkerCatSplat]

No Top Gear today, but just wait until next week! :D



Top Gear isn't on this Sunday, as we've kindly given up our time slot so you can watch the snooker. But don't fret - full service will resume next week.

Then you can see the battle of the budget busters as the mighty Bugatti Veyron races the Eurofighter. Jeremy also takes commuting to bold new heights as he drives the world's smallest car to the Top Gear office.

Plus, James will be climbing aboard the new Rolls-Royce and probably having a thoroughly nice time. And the new Ferrari will be getting a comprehensive thrashing on the test track.

Also in the studio, Jeremy chats to Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones and we take an exclusive look at the new million-euro Lamborghini Reventon.

[rmk]

Next weeks episode sounds fantastic. :drool:

Todays episode was wicked! Really funny too.

It airs at 8PM UK time, so give it a few more hours and the torrents should be up.
