When do they air it here? I have been watching on BBC America on COX, I have a season pass on my TiVo and have not seen any they have listed as last season on Final Gear. I think the newest one I have seen is the one with the race between the GTR & Japanese mass transit. WTF?

you are like 3 seasons behind. best place to view it other than downloading it is on Streetfire.

That stinks, the synopsis says that one (GTR) was from 2009.

I am downloading this episode now.

Decent show.

"What's that? It's a Dacia Sandero!"
(If you're new to the show, it's been a running joke the last three seasons.)

Just finished, very good episode.
I'd like to point something out... A bit of a spoiler.... if James wasn't in the S63 I think the race would of been much closer

I thought this episode was just alright... I mean, aside from the gorgeous cars and the one fantastic road, and a Sandero joke here and there, there really wasn't much to it.

Perhaps I'm getting tired of watching people have my dream job

Next weeks episode should be much better IMO. They are reviewing the Corvette ZR1 and the R8 V10, plus building their own electric cars. That should be good...

Did they already finish filming the whole season? If not, I bet the pelican/veyron story will be on there..

C'mon mang, you have to love it when James finally gets to drive his "dream" small car, gives it a positive review, then watches it smashed up by a lorry? I was ROFLing so loud my wife thought I was nuts.

It's too bad, I was hoping he'd get to drive it home too....

I laughed my ASS off at that part. At 2am. While everyone's sleeping.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! ZR1=sex. Mark my words: I will own one...someday. Probably after I'm done funding my son's college education.

I thought it was a solid episode. Very clever to go to Romania. Most people know very little about the country and given their budgetary cutbacks it made a great backdrop to go on a roadtrip.

Poor James and his Dacia ... Clearly he was set up (again) by James/Richard.

Though that truck backing into the Sandero seemed to total it. Not really a well built car is it?

Not the best episode i've seen but I still loved it. The Dacia Sandero jokes had me rolling. Jeremy's Borat references had me rolling too. The one thing that had me scratching my head was why they let the little Romanian kids write all over their cars, sure they would probably detail it out later, but potentially messing up the paint on those cars had me biting my nails.

Great episode! Those roads were absolutely fantastic.

Spoiler:

One part that I really liked was the underground driving with the 3 cars, that must've been quite some fun.
