Lucky guys. Time Warner, I think, throttles torrents. I've been downloading the SD rip for almost two hours and finally have 7 minutes left.

Good episode, the pagani sounded INSANE, and I don't think I'll ever buy a used car again.

I suspect they will take it around their track at some point this season.

I never realized how many different iterations of the Zonda there are

And hearing Jeremy on helium was hilarious

I think just about every single show ever made is :shit: compared to Top Gear. TG: USA just has the inconvenience of sharing the name.

I've suddenly decided new cars are worth the premium and depreciation...

and the guys on helium... epic.

Man!! We are weeks behind in the DFW Metroplex. At least the Dish Network is. I just watched the episodes with the Aussie challange and the 3 Wise Men, and Dish said they were the newest episodes!! It sucks not being able to read the latest posts.

If it's a normal hour-long show it's closer to 19 minutes

That's why I watch mine elsewhere.

Amber Heard will be the SIAPRC according to those who attended this episode's filming.

Already down to the 2nd-to-last episode as well.

"so did you ever have a rabbit?"

Pretty good ep, was hoping a better comparison with the rs5 vs m3 but this will do.
