But, it's for a full hour and mentions celebrities trying for fast laps. So it's the full UK edition of Top Gear. Shame it's not the current series, guess I'll have to continue to download it.

 

You can download it? have you seen the one where The Stig takes the 8 around the track? I would love to see that.

 

downloading the 735mb version of eposide #2 now

 

Finish it have time to watch it tonight

 

I must say, one of the few benefits of having to sit through a dreary English winter like I'm suffering through right now is Top Gear, shame the series just finished... but they also have a couple of re-run episodes a day on cable... doesn't really make up for not having a car though

 

You are in London Pomland now Pepe ... how is it going over there... long time no see!

 

Yeah, moved over here for a while, going to do the whole working/travel thing... nice and cheap Working for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, so get to play with lots of virtual RX-8s, but no real ones unfortunately... I do miss my old car, but living in London, having a car would be pointless anyway...

 

nice maybe..... cheap maybe not

depends.... you still need a car to go places outside of zone1 abd it is perfect for shopping
which area are you staying?

 

Nah, very cheap to travel Europe from London, just need to know where to look Hard to beat a weekend away in Europe with flights and hotels for 2 people @ about $250 in total...

If you work anywhere close to a tube station here, it's quicker to catch it... there are an INSANE number of cars on the roads here, blows me away, even where I live in zone 4 is always a traffic jam... as for shopping, that's why you get it home delivered

 

true, and frence is only a drive away..... (only if you can stand how french ppl drive )

it takes us about 20 - 25 mins on the tube to PC from zone 3 on most days and just under one hour to heathrow on express

how old tesco is good at home deliverying..... (not always on time, but cant complaint)
still cat beat the good old shop at the supermarket though...

 

Have to agree with pepe

Lived in London (Zone 2) for over 4 yrs until 2003. Not owning a car was a great stress reliever...If we'd had one, half our evenings would have been taken up circling the suburb to find a park near our house

We had a car park with the apartment we rented initially -- which we sublet for £300 per month!

Our favourite activity was to get Eurostar to Lille, pick up a rental car and head wherever. Or take Ryanair or EasyJet to wherever they were offering £2 return special airfares.

As for grocery shopping, Tesco Direct is good...we also invested in a 'snazzy' shopping trolley, as there was a Tesco about 1k away.

But, in the end, the rain and cold grey days get to you

 

you complain about the weather in the south of england, try living around the north near liverpool (CHAMPIONS O' EUROPE!! ). virtually everyday its wet and even when its not the weathers usually vey bitter.

 

cool....thanks for the good news

 

Can some one tells me what is shown tonight? I did not watch it

 

Mustang

2004 Awards (worst car was the Hyundai Accent)

Roger Daltrey

Overpowered EVO VIIII

Have a great holiday....

 

thats why i still dont understand why would anyone want to live over there.....?

 

well its not my fault, i was only born and raised there

 

Tell your parents the should have done the right thing and emigrated.

 

Loved the awards. How funny was the comedy car handling test.

 

I was looking at the top gear website and came across the Stigs lap times. Click on this link: http://www.topgear.com/content/tgonb...times/thestig/

I hope it works. The RX 8 came 45th and is ahead of some very expensive cars. The STI and EVO have performed well but lack style. But ofcause some of the more expensive car owners may same about our car as well.

How opinions can vary...here the Accent has won small car awards.

ah but where else can you enjoy the joys of camping and playing football in the pouring rain and still watch your favourite footy team?
still i went to oz in the summer on holiday i actually found it a little too warm
mind you i dont know many other places where you get ferrari and maserati dealerships on the opposite side of the road to a citroen dealership

 

It's our egalitarian, non-class conscious culture - all wog cars get treated the same!

 

since when do they call a french "wog"..............?

 

Wikipedia: "The phrase "The wogs start at Calais" or "Wogs start at the Channel" is commonly used to characterise a stodgy Europhobic viewpoint, and more generally the view that Britain (more commonly England) is inherently separate from (and superior to) the Continent. In this case, "wog" describes any foreign, un-English person."

I think Gomez may have also reinforced this with his er.... ....regarding his Pug
