Awesome episode. Loved the news segment as well; still think these 3 would make an extremely interesting radio show together just talking about various subjects.


I also want to know now where I can buy some p***y.

did you use a download manager like utorrent or bittorrent? if you did then use windows media classic, you can download it from www.downloads.com

As mentioned, you need a torrent download manager such as uTorrent, then use VLC media player to play it.




1h 3m to finish downloading

Just finished watching.

So. Effing. Worth. It.

Without giving too much away, I will say the "sendoff" to the Stig was 100 times better than the first switchover, if you can call this that.

Clarkson forced to leave car behind

Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson was forced to abandon his car along with hundreds of other motorists in heavy snow

Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson had to abandon his car following heavy snow in Oxfordshire.

Worsening conditions meant that Clarkson, who was travelling from Oxford to his own home, was forced to leave his car along with hundreds of other motorists.

He said: "It was very bad out there.

"I wasn't stuck but everyone around me was. I thought, 'I'm not going to get home tonight and it's going to get dark'."

However, the TV presenter said he accepted a ride from two "very kind" men with a 4x4, and added that he does not expect to pick up his car before the new year.

But Clarkson is not the only Top Gear presenter who has had to abandon a car in impossible driving conditions.

Three years ago, fellow presenter Richard Hammond reportedly ran 16 miles to his daughter's fourth birthday after leaving his car in a gridlock caused by the summer's torrential rain and flooding.

I just love top gear, they're so awesome. I really wish I had their job. Those scenes with the 458 in NYC when it was all bright red and everything else around is dull, was just gorgeous

This episode was great, at all the stig bashing.

Best news section yet, IMO. I laughed at all the pokes at the Stig, too. Surprising they didn't show the "new stig" clip on that episode.

I loved the Stig bashing. Of course, they could not have shot him up in the UK. could they?

The next episode is suppose to be a special when they go to Iraq. I think finalgear was just confused.

Is it me or did the preview for the season look amazing. This season i think is going to be better than last year. Its like they had a much bigger budget than season 15.
