Awesome episode. Downloaded last night, watched at lunchtime.

Brilliant!

I love the gas tips......"If you've been affected by the fuel crisis, this is the supercar to buy."...in reference to the Audi R8. at 5 mpg on the track!

Just a fantastic show ... I laughed more watching this show than most American sitcoms.

I hope that NBC gives up on the American Top Gear--it is bound to be dull and uninspiring in comparison, not to mention full of car ads that will water down any bite or honesty the show might havev. Nothing, and I mean, NOTHING beats the original show.

Top Gear FTW!

Episode 2 was excellent as well!

Bad news for Yumchah, though......AM is officially "no longer cool" now.

Jeez, why can't BBC America show this simultaneously with the Brit release?

Really, they're only losing money because we're torrenting it before it ever airs in America

Anyone know where I can find all or at least the most recent episodes of Top Gear in streaming video? Preferably DIVX quality.

this show by far is the greatest of all time for automotive related shows. you cannot replicate this and it obviously shows by the amount of small comedy etc done in this second episode!

is it just me or is their camera work/editing second to none? I mean no other car shows convey the cars as art in motion and take advantage of the beauty of it all? Top Gear and the BBC crews really show this and make it exciting regardless of what the hosts are saying.

I often find myself making mental comments about the good camera work and some of the great shots they get for the show. In the most recent episode, I quite liked the shots of the RS6 parked on the that big dam.

They are filming the show in HD now aren't they? My friend was looking for torrents of it in HD but couldnt find any.

There were reports that the season was supposed to be filmed in HD, but some/most/all of it wasn't. Afaik there aren't any for this season yet. Check out the Polar Special in HD though if you haven't already - it's awesome.

I assumed the torrents were in HD. The shows are widescreen 16:9 format. Those are the torrents I found.

I was hoping that yesterday's episode would be the long awaited GT-R special but indeed it wasn't, in fact it turned out to be the funniest TG episode ever .

I wasn't aware you could get an Alfa Romeo for less than £1000, and in decent condition at that (other than the convertible .... )

PS...downloaded within a few hours of airing, watched last night. That one was LOL funny...

I liked it, although i'm not too familiar with all the old alfas. I wish I thought of using a hand pump when my water pump went out.

I loved this episode...

I love how they always smash James' car...

"Hey, that's good right there, what did you do?"

"I shifted into 2nd"
