Top Gear season 13

[Mr_ET]

Apparently starts June 21st:clap:

[ExtremeSi]

Wicked! I've been waiting

[Akagi Redsuns]

About time! There is only so much Fifth Gear and Top Gear Australia I can take.

[pattyt]

yup, finalgear.com for all your topgear needs. !!!

[Destinova403]

SO pumped... i want to see how the ZR-1 does on the test track.

[dino_martini]

Honestly I hope for:

Ford Focus RS
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Cadillac CTS-V
Lamborghini Lp670-V
Porsche GT3

The problem is that Top Gear has reviewed all those cars before pretty much. So we are just going to hear the same thing over and over.

[pyroza]

Finally :clap:

[badatusrnames]

We'll see how they do with a reduced budget...

[/////AMG]

The 13th series of Top Gear will return to BBC Two on 21st June 2009 with the usual presenting team of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig.

Despite forced budget cuts, Series 13 will contain new challenges, new power tests, more foreign travel and a race from London to Edinburgh between LNER Peppercorn Class A1 60163 Tornado with Jeremy riding in the cab of the train, James May in a Jaguar XK120 and Richard Hammond on a Vincent Black Shadow motorbike.

[Eleanor]

I haven't seen the episode yet (10 mins remaining on my Torrent...suprisingly fast). But I will assume it is the F1. Since there were spy shots of the boys in Dubai racing Veyron's, Mclaren F1's, LP670 SV's, etc etc etc

Edit - I've seen the preview and yes it is the Mclaren F1 vs Bugatti Veyron

[bituerbo]

Got it off Brad's site. Just putting it onto a usb stick now to play in the xbox!!!

[Cos]

brads site is down?

[Trini]

yea Brad's site isn't working for me as well.
I'll just watch it on Ninjavideo and d/l it off Brad's site later

[Shunsui]

The Stig takes off his helmet this ep? :eek:
*downloading*

[dino_martini]

I love the race so far. That jag is siiiiccck

[dino_martini]

Solid first episode. Loved the race. The Stig bit was good. Evora is a hot little thing.

episode two is looking promising as well:

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May attempt to find the perfect car for 17-year-olds, negotiating insurance companies, accident repairs and a muddy music festival car park. Plus, Richard goes to Abu Dhabi to test the new Lamborghini Murcielago SV and stages the world's first ever race between the 1000 horsepower Veyron and the mighty McLaren F1. Back in the studio the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car is twittering national treasure Stephen Fry.

[Bladeh]

WOW! at that Ferrari :eek:

A black unstriped Ferrari FXX (owned by Michael Schumacher[2]) was exhibited on the BBC's Top Gear show and recorded the fastest car around the Top Gear track on June 21, 2009, knocking exactly seven seconds of the previous best time seconds (for the Gumpert Apollo) with a time of 1m 10.7s. Perhaps it was no coincidence that on the same day, Michael Schumacher appeared to be revealed as The Stig, a mysterious character from the Top Gear programme, previously known only as Top Gears's tame racing driver.

[cloud7]

The identity of the Stig was revealed but I don't think he is the regular Stig... he is just the Stig for drive the Ferrari IMO.

[Dj_Stylz]

Wow the stig. Sweet:thumbsup:

[Mibz]

I LOLed so hard at Hammond's gay jokes about May.

[Cos]

what a wicked first episode

[npham]

Was a really good episode, but I think MS is only driving the FXX this week, as he is apart of the development of the cars.

[95EagleAWD]

No kidding.

Obviously, they're not going to tell us the real Stig.

[pyroza]

Can I get a link to Brad's site again?

[nismodrifter]

Oh wow, ending of that episode was hilarious hahahaha.

[schocker]

Oh that episode was so good. Well worth the wait. The coal loading part cracked me up :rofl:

[Xtrema]

The Evora sure have a shitty interior but I guess that's not the point of a Lotus anyway.

I wonder what kind of deal in background to get MS and the FXX out on the track? And the FXX does genuinely looks fast on the track.

[flipstah]

Great way to start the program!

I really thought the train would win!

[ICEBERG]

Great episode.. That ferrari FXX is just :drool:

You pay over a million dollars for it and you don't keep it. Crazy..

[LongCity]

What ever happened to Top Gear Dog?

I effing died throughout that car challenge, it was fantastic.
+1 for the cuties

[Trini]

some real hotties in the crowd for real!!

anyone see who's behind Hammond to the right? :rofl: :rofl:

http://i44.tinypic.com/2qtac1g.png

[schocker]

The photocopying was excellent. :rofl:
I noticed that right away.

Hilarious episode though with the challenge, then the 670, veyron and F1.:drool:

[pattyt]

Ep 2, goes to my top 10 funniest topgear eps ever.

[Hakkola]

Haha, I thought I was the only one paying attention to the hotties.

The cd player prank was fucking awesome, I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard.

[Vagabond142]

That Lamborghini... oh sweet jeebus I'd give my left nut to have been in that race vs the 722... just imagine the noise, the sensation... :drool: :drool: :drool:

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Episode 2=:rofl:

[95EagleAWD]

Any episode with the F1 is good in my books.

Kinda chuffed it lost though... :p

[Mr_ET]

Even Jeremy was ROFL at some point when his Volvo destroyed that little shed.

I was laughing the whole time, love challenges like this.

The F1 is still a fantastic car and I can't believe how much grip it has off the launch considering it has no traction control and that much power.

[95EagleAWD]

A couple other things I noticed in the office scene...

Hammond has teeth whitening stuff on his desk. That picture on Clarkson's desk... is that Will Yoong? Hahahaha.

[fluid]

ep. 2 was good

cant wait for the 3rd one:thumbsup:

It just seems to be TG torrents whenever I try to download them Sundays though - maybe not enough good seeders?

Other torrents seem to be fine for me.

[ZedMan]

Most likely because demand far exceeds supply when it just comes out.

Mine will be done in 20 min, usenet FTW.

[badatusrnames]

Watching it on NinjaVideo right now :poosie:

[ercchry]

brad's site is almost up... under 200mb to go

Thanks dude, didn't see it on the wall so I went for a second look.

This is always the slowest show to buffer, must be a lot of people watching, but should be ready in 5 mins. :)

Edit- Not even 5 mins. :poosie:

[DannyO]

Digital Hive FTW, is up for download about the same time as Mininova, but never get less than 500kb a sec download.:D

Nice, they had ken block in this episode with some awsome slow-mo effects.

[Trini]

SOB , Im on a Mac

[dino_martini]

I thought this episode was okay. I liked last weeks better. Far more entertaining. The Sl65 Black is interesting, but I wouldn't buy one with my own money. Ken Block was pretty good. Even I had forgotten about the Fiat 500. Though I would probably still buy a MiTo.

That pretty much sums up my thoughts on the ep, although I did find the SIARPC quite entertaining, and car sauna was great.

[rage2]

I'd buy a SL65 Black Series. 2nd hand of course, after someone else takes the massive depreciation hit that all AMG/Black Series cars get 1st year.

[fluid]

I liked this ep. mainly because of the airport driving with the bike:thumbsup:

[DannyO]

Didn't find this ep that great, the car sauna is a sweet competition, need to get chicks to play along with me, but I found the SIARPC guy annoying as hell, but did like his lap.

Also would of been nice if they actually had a real point to showing the Ken Block scene.

The point was to show a driver with excellent car control do some tricks. It's a show about the joy of cars, do you need any more point than that?

(On a seperate note I would have loved to have been in that passenger seat!)

Normally when they do parts like that they actually talk about it more, whether its to do with power/driving/the driver/doing stunts, this was more of a no brains "lets go and drive a car round a dirt track for no reason" style of showing the event, something that I wouldn't expect TG to normally do, as most of the things they do they have a reason behind whether its a good or a stupid one.
