Discovery Channel - Top Gear

For the past two years i've downloaded this outstanding series in torrents. And now we're getting it over here. Granted, it's a few years behind...but it's far better then "Car and Driver TV"

It's becoming harder and harder to leave my television these days.

Top Gear's a great programme, very funny too. What episodes to you get over there? Have you seen the stig?

Well, i've gotten most of the 2004 season, the 2003 season and a few of the 2002 season (i think). But like I said, I downloaded them (illegal according to some

). But the first episodes are just now hitting the televisions here now.

I've seen the Stig. My guess is it's Hammond (or for a spectacular twist...Tiff) .

The Stig in Black Overalls is Perry McCarthy, A talented racing driver who never got to race with a competetive car, his book is well worth a read, it really gives you an insite into what it takes to get a ride in F1.

The Stig in white overalls is rumoured to be Ben Collins

Glad you're enjoying it - personally I hate it, especially Clarkson who is the biggest ego-centric idiot on British TV.

Much prefer 5th Gear, which is made and presented by old Top Gear staff who defected when the BBC said it was canning Top Gear.

Oh well, wouldn't do for everyone to like the same things.

I watched it last night. They tested the Konigsegg (spelled right?) and compared the BMW 6 series, 911 and the Jag XK8.

What a great show!!!!!

I can't wait to see more!!
