And even when it's a season behind you don't get the full show as with all the commercials inserted, you miss out on some of it as it gets cut. Sometimes it's lame bits like the star in a reasonably priced car, the news and other times it's in the middle of good segments.

Yea it should be a full 60 minutes since the BBC doesn't do adverts while the show is running (just before and after for other BBC shows).

Just download it off torrents, the episodes are usually up a few hours afters it aired.

Not positive but other people mentioned 'no HD this season.' I only watched a few & even then it's an .avi or something of them and they usually have that widescreen/ letterbox look so you'd think it was HD. The show has a good look that deserves it though.

can you buy the seasons of top gear anywhere?

/////AMG
06-18-2008, 01:35 PM
Nope... I wish they did have them in boxsets but not for Top Gear.

You can get the odd Top Gear DVD like the challenges or the special episodes like the Winter Olympics one. And then they have some Top Gear DVD's which are brand new, they dont feature anything from the show (Revved up is the latest one). And there a few really goof Jeremy Clarkson DVD's too.

F430S wasn't released then! most of Top Gear's cars are customer cars.

Hello Ladies & Gents,

The new season of Top Gear is beginning and I will once again be hosting it. Today's is up albeit a tad late - www.bcopping.com/tg

All my T.V. shows were deleted off the server so I'll start again. In the meantime go to www.bcopping.com/tg and then right click-> Save Target As on the movie file. If you have trouble playing it, download & install VLC (www.videolan.org). It's a movie player that plays everything and it's free. Anywho go download and watch the Stig thrash seven shades of carbon fibre out of the F430 Scud

Cheers,

Brad

did they film a separate summer series, or were they referring to the filling of season 11 ?

I was wondering that too... but I'm guessing they were referring to the filming of the series - which is airing this summer.

I'm interested in seeing what they have to say about the GTR.

They will arrange it so that the GT-R loses, they'll give it some compliments, but they'll conclude on a negative note with saying 'it's just not as fast the bullet train.' as if anyone give a crap about that comparison.

This confused me 2 but then I figured it out. He said "hello were, back, unless your watching this as a repeat."

So then i think he was referring this new season 11 as if you were watching it as a repeat after the summer.

Because he said, "If you are watching this as a repeat, then lets see what we did in the summer of 2008"

Thats my best guess.

I think your wrong, they have done many of these races and havent lost yet. And they always do these types of races with the special cars that they really like.

Why you always coming down on top gear? if you dont like it, stop watching it.

It was a joke. Clarkson was saying that if you were watching the episode as a repeat on Dave (channel) then the montage would be a recap instead of a preview. Because, theoretically, S11 will someday be repeated on Dave.

Did I say 'I don't like TG'? A person can't criticize a part TG and still enjoy the rest of it? That's retarded then again I'm not a fanboy, just a fan. In any case we'll see how they receive the non-European superpower.

Agreed, it was an apples to oranges comparison and a little bit deceptive - the Prius is only effective in stop and go traffic where its regenerative braking can help offset all the stopping and going. Although they did make a good point in how environmentally destructive it is to mine an refine the nickel used in the Prius' batteries.

I thought what was pretty honest of them was as much as they criticize speed cameras, they stop at calling it a cash grab on the part of Government, and pointed out that taxing Simon Cowell generates as much revenue as speed cameras do...

First up, Jeremy renews the age-old Subaru/Mitsubishi battle - fought for many centuries across the supermarket car parks and high streets of the Home Counties - by pitting the Evo X against the new and suspiciously hatch-like Impreza STi. Who's your money on?

After last week's spectacular failure, Top Gear Stuntman is back and attempting to replicate a classic James Bond stunt. And no, it's not the one where that Russian bird crushes the bald man to death with her thighs.

Having deposited several hundred kilos of rubber on Manchester Airport's runway last season with the BMW M5 and Merc E63 AMG, we're heading to pastures hillier to test the latest German monster, the Audi RS6 Avant. The slopes of the Alps, to be specific, where Richard tries to outpace some men on skis with the use of bad French.

Oh, and speaking of German monsters, Jeremy has finally convinced Merc to let him put the awesome CLK Black around the test track. We think he likes it.

Also taking to our test track are this week's Stars In Our Reasonably Priced Car: the Spooks-tastic duo of Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth. Yes, it's two for the price of one again... with added spy powers.

And, as if all that wasn't enough, a charred, blackened friend makes a welcome return from the burns ward. Yes, the Cool Wall is back!

We'll bring you more pre-show build-up right here on TopGear.com, but for now make sure you clear your diary and arrange the takeaway menus into a neat pile next to the telly. Top Gear is back on BBC2 this Sunday at 8pm. Be there.

I got this from Finalgear.com. I wonder which CLK they will be testing. I'm crossing my fingers so that its the CLK GTR:love:
