Cooper S on Top Gear & Fifth Gear

Can someone please tell me what series and episodes the MCS has appeared on these shows. The episodes I'm after are the ones where the Cooper S would have been first tested, so the shows will be 3-4 years old I imagine.



Cheers Liam

If I can remember I saw fifth gear and it featured a Dark silver S ragging around a Car park, I think the UK Date Reg on it was 52 which is September 2002 to March 2003, dunno if that helps.

Good question.. I assume its somewhere in the 'dark zone'... there's a gap between "[03×02] - November 2nd, 2003" and "Episode #17 from 1991" on the usual download sites. I've not been able to get anything from the show in between that (maybe someone in usenet/irc could help you tho?)

All they have listed on the FinalGear site under the episode descriptions are:

Top Gear - [03×04] - November 16th, 2003 - Richard drives the Works MINI Cooper S
Top Gear - [04×08] - July 18th, 2004 - Scoda Fabia vs MINI Cooper
Top Gear - [04×09] - July 25th, 2004 - Richard and James test the MINI Cabriolet

http://www.finalgear.com/downloads/topgear/




Let us know if you find it tho


Some say he loves gaming and that he also loves house work..... All we know is, he's called The ScottyB!

Hi Liam,
I have both of the videos on my computer if you want them (the quality is not perfect, but still fun to watch).
I will be down in Canberra Saturday/Sunday (maybe) and will bring a disc with me.
Cheers
Lee

That would be great Lee. Thanks! I'll shout you a coffee or summat.

Thanks for the link too Scotty, I'll give it a whirl when I get home.
