I like when things go wrong though. That makes it more funny. This was "watch three guys drive reliable cheap cars"
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.

Dude Madison Welch is sexy as hell. She didn't do bad around the track either. I may just have to see GI Joe just to see her haha

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?

-Lorry Driving (S12, E1)
-Best Driving Road in the World (S1, E1)
Honestly I could name a shit load more, but let's just say I've never been disappointed with a Top Gear Episode.

Anxiously awaiting Jay Leno's episode. That's in two weeks, right?

AC/DC's lead singer on Top Gear's test track
Brian Johnson, 62 years young... pretty funny guy who can drive pretty damn well, especially for his age. Race starts at about 6:55

VERY fast seeds today, I'm downloading at bursts of up to 700 KB/s, the fastest of the season. Still making up for two weeks ago.
(EDITED): Leno is on this week's show! This is also the last show of the season, season 14 starts in December or so.

dl'ing now, this is actually my slowest in a while, last week I peaked out at 1350kb/s, this week's at 198kb/s so far but definitely is going in bursts. Overall I love my new WiFi sometimes hit 2200kb/s with torrents, my old connection limited at around 600.
can't wait to see leno!

Jay did an AWESOME interview and had a pretty good lap. Second fastest American! Woot! Overall, it was a good show. The VW ad segment was funny!
The very last segment spells out EXACTLY the sentiment that drove me to buy a CTS-V.
Not giving too much away until others have seen it.

^^^Yes, it seemed like it to me, too.
majin, the fall series usually begins in November, my bad, was a typo resulting from the tears filling my eyes at Jeremy's end segment. *snif*

the Jay Leno interview was amazing, loved his story about the McLaren and the "gangsters" don't know if it's really true. It was also pretty funny watching Jeremy read his car history.
I thought they spent too much time on the advertisment, but it was funny, like all Top Gear episodes are. As for the ending, I didn't think it was a good idea to end the series on a sad note. Oh well, Gone in Sixty Seconds is on, more car shows

ads were funny, but yeah too long. The ending was down right depressing and had me just saying, "that's it?"
I think season 12 was much better, but you've got to have so-so seasons to have great ones as well....

Something similar seems to have happened after the poignant Aston Martin film that closed the current series of Top Gear.
The Twitterers (or, if you’re David Cameron, the Twatterers) have gone nuts with speculation that Jeremy was not forecasting the end of V12 wonders like the Aston; he was prophesising the demise of Top Gear itself.
So, just to clear up once and for all, Top Gear is NOT DEAD. Unless it went in the night and has yet to be discovered by the maid…
Ha! Not really. See you in November.
