Have you guys ever been to www.finalgear.com? They have torrents of nearly all the episodes: Top Gear, and 5th Gear. As far as I can tell it's all legal, since even the producers of Top Gear comment about the coolness of the site.

Thats how I've been keeping up with the show.

I think it was discovery that ran the show for a while last year, or was it in 05? anyway it was heavily edited as i found out when I DLed the torrent. They do bash Americans and our cars frequently on that show. But it is a good show.

Was that what they showed? That episode is from season 8 meaning it was a 2006 show. I sure hope that their only doing that with the silly stunts and challenges.



One of the newer episodes has Jeremy driving the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. Its a good review with some great footage.



So did they have a news segment? If they didn't, thats a tell tale sign that there chopping up the show as you cant run year old news anywhere.

Everything on BBC America is outdated. The episodes of MI-5 they show are 2-3 years old. There is no news section.



I don't care! The show is a riot and better than any other automobile programming on US TV.
