Yeah you have to get it through bit torrent. watching that koenigsegg was worth the time it took to get the episode. There are some changes to keep the show fresh. Same old humor and same old top gear really. Im trying not to say anything that would spoil anything. I love that show though. I suggest seeing this new one, its a good one

What Ike said, it may show up on Discovery Science, but who knows. I know a month ago they had about 6 episodes on. Caught two, one on the Exige, Apache helicopter test and the Xj6/Toyota tough truck. I suppose we could hope Speed or somebody else picks it up, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

You do get some lame assed version of Top Gear on Discovery.

They do plan on having a US version soon, but to get the British version you need to be resourceful.


Its by far the best motoring show on the planet and has been for a LONG time.

what lame season premiere. most of that show was dedicated to making the freakin van into a convertible and trying to see how fast it can go before the makeshift roof flies off... and they wasted a few minutes on that pink car. Although, the koenig segment was very nice.

I can't disagree more, I thought it was a great episode from start to finish. I even love Top Gear Dog

You guys have to get it on bit torrent. Not only will you get the whole episode, the quality of the video is top notch.

I have the BitTorrent client, but it has no search function. Can anyone tell me how to find Top Gear on it?

the advantages of living in the uk:
- watching top gear on tv
...and thats it.
you can also watch the episodes at bbc.co.uk/topgear, though the quality is a bit dodgy as it keeps buffering all the time .
mind you i get 2 watch it on the sunday at 8 or monday at 7 :D (not that im trying to rub it in or anyting )

compared to British car shows (top gear, Fifth Gear) american car shows are so f-ing lame.

Who even watches crap like Motortrend TV.

I must agree this particular episode wasn't my fav. but hey Im just happy they are back. This season should be fun.


You can get all the previous seasons on bittorrents. Google is your best friend.

The net video feed is only available in the UK. We are out of luck there too.
