Try casttv.com and search Top Gear. Its own page will come up, and you can pick through pretty much ALL of the top gear videos, season 1 to 13, with a few missing. Don't need to download and save to your computer, just watch it online.
What do you guys think are the best Top Gear moments ever?

I have to agree with the rest of you, this episode was a rare weak one.
I like the Panamera for what it is...a purist's sedan. I do wish they'd styled the rear a little differently, though.

^^^Maybe weaker than their recent brilliance but I'd still rather watch a weak Top Gear episode than most anything we have on tv here....
Btw, I wonder how long the Hessmo guy will be able to defy the BBC?

Forever, if he has moved the servers into a country that doesn't cooperate with the BBC.

Honestly, i think this is the most entertaining one of the season. IMO.
(spoiler)
I think this is the first time the actually gave up and took the car that the producers had as back-up.

Nope, second time they took the car. First time was on the salt flats of an African country (can't remember the name) Jeremy took the Beetle (which apparently was absolutely and unanimously despised) because his car overheated or got jammed with grime or something.
SPOILER
I personally liked the episode. The challenge was funny, and the gimmick with the Range Rover was good. Add in Sienna Miller and you have a winning episode.

That was uncalled for...
Season is pretty good so far, with the exception of last week's episode, I agree that it was a little lacking.
[Office Chair Producer] What they should have done was mail the letter to a part of central Scotland. Then, race the Panamera from the top of Scotland to the letter, and a 911 from the bottom of Scotland to the letter. [/Office Chair Producer]

I shoot people
I think the only high lights were the Jag, and Sienna Miller 
The racing in the snow with their POS cars against the Pros with their AWD professional racing cars was kinda lame.

I absolutely love this show. I've been watching it religiously since season 8. I download it every Sunday night and my girlfriend and I watch it and cry from laughing so hard.
That XFR was gorgeous and just amazingly fast. I loved the ice racing though. Morris Marina FTW!

The episode wasn't bad... but challenges like the police car challenge, the Alpha Romeo challenge, the lorry challenge... all much more entertaining. This episode was pretty good... but it wasn't very memorable. That's all I'm saying. Still love the show.

And it's downloading pretty fast, too.
I had to make up for last week's lamo torrent.
