I agree with the fellas. I would have the Maserati over the Porsche and Aston Martin any day.

Unless I am missing something, how can Final Gear make something off the BBC and Clarkson's IP?

I thought it was great! The R8/911 comparo was good and the mobile home bit was funny as hell! I don't know why people are coming down on the show all of the sudden....

I thought it was great as well. I don't think these episodes are that bad like everyone is making it out to be.
I'm grateful that Top Gear is on.

I though the episode was good. I was expecting it to be much horrible than it was by reading these comments before I saw it. I know the fire was intentional and all that, but that made me remember the old caravan trip which was hilarious. Definitely doesn't beat that trip, but I still think it was good. And the comparo was good too. SIARPC was also funny. So far, other than the first episode, I've known all the guests! Thats a first haha.

I liked it, it feel as though there were more obvious setups than normal, but funny none the less.

I thought it was ok. Funny at the end when he was eating ice cream and his motor home goes off the cliff. But of course I know that was set up too.

Seeing Clarkson building moving above the bushes is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my life.

I even watched the SIARPC and I usually skip that part.
or maybe because I actually knew the celebrity. Not personally lol.

The Internet. There are SD versions, 720p and 1080i versions.
You can get them on Final Gear and you can find that site on Google.

BBC America is like a season or two behind. We are all downloading it from torrents, most of us that is. Some people may stream if they can find it.

So the torrents we download are in HD.

Finalgear.com

Ohh another reason we download is that BBC America cuts out like 10 minutes of the show to add commercials. So you aren't technically watching the whole show if you watch it on BBCA.

If you guys want to watch it online, try www.casttv.com, the quality is sometimes not as good as torrent's, but if you can't wait or want to see if the episode is good or not before dling, casttv is perfect.

Thanks, but I'm good. HD Ftw! haha that being said, I was watching some episodes I had from season 10 and ohh man are they great! I have episodes season 9 till now, and I'm watching them all, I went through season 9, I'm like on episode 5 on season 10. I'm thinking about downloading seasons 7 & 8, I remember those were really good, but I haven't watched them much since I dont have them. Just seen clips every now and then.

I have every TG episode in this current iteration and basically when they added James May in Series 3 (I think) it got very good and stayed that way for a long time.

The first two series are worth watching just to see how different it was back then. The very first show was probably family and staff only in the hangar and it was not great. But I enjoy watching them all the same.

I am confused. In regards to Clarkson’s comments on his co-hosts. Which one is lunatic and which one is the retard?

No way May is the retard...he is a smart fucker.

Hammond or Clarkson are the retards... IMO Clarkson is the biggest retard lol. And the lunatic. Hammond is less of retard and lunatic than Clarkson.
