I don't know guys, that british sarcasm and humor is kinda irritating. So damn predictable. I just want to see some crazy ass exotic cars being test driven, as well as daily drivers comparos. I could care less for those brits dissing on eachother with dry humor. Anybody agree?

The virtual vs. real NSX challenge at Laguna Seca should be awesome fun to watch. And Clarkson will almost always win those challenges, though they're incredibly entertaining to watch.

www.flixvault.org used to have many of the top gear segements available for direct download, but segment by segment. Their old archive isn't online anymore though.

But finalgear seeds their stuff verry well. Not your usual wait for 16 weeks to get 100 megs torrent crap, if thats what your trying to avoid.
