Smaller torrent should be out in the next day or so.

This first episode back is a great return to form. The guys are as funny as ever.

"Topgear...ambitious, but rubbish!" LMAO

D/L last night....
First thing this morning after the wife's gone to work, sat down and watched it.
Can't wait to see the return of their amphibious vehicles for a new challenge...hehe.
The Stelvio pass might just have to be on my "things to do before I die" list.

if you watch very carefully in the beginning....the part where they are showing whats coming up this year....you see a glimpse of what looks to be a HSV Senator shoot past...and I mean a GLIMPSE...i had to hit slow-mo and even then its hard to spot.
Apparently Topgear were filming in Melbourne not too long ago...

That may be (no pun intended) but I'd much prefer to drive the GT3 or the Lambo over it. Both of them trounced on the Aston in a straight line and the twisties.

Love the episode and I hope the people that prattle on about weight saving cars watch this episode. It adds perspective.

The Audi R8, about as high off the ground as a badger's badger. Watched the episode at 8am this morning and I'm still chuckling about that line. I'm liking the look less than the pics (largely the front) that were posted a few months back.

How Can anything revolving around snooker? be more important than Top Gear, i mean as a spectator sport... Snooker sucks... playing it whilst consuming beers... well, thats tolerable... JUST!

I'd say you have codec issues. Look for klite mega pack codecs. Install the latest version, and all should be good.

Don't know about the current series etc. but I did notice that SBS will be starting what they call a new series tonight at 7.30.
Old and low tech but is Top Gear is good.
