According to this site, www.finalgear.com, the continuation of the current season starts on November the 13th, so expect a torrent the day after.

If the BBC allowed people to purchase a one-off subscription to download all the Topgear eps I'd be on it in a flash. They're BRILLIANT shows.

I think I might send the Beeb an email.

Strictly speaking, it's only starting on local tv in the UK (channel 5), but to you and me, that means a torrent of the episode will be online within 6 hours of broadcast for download. If our local stations (be they free-to-air or pay-tv) are too damn cheaparse to get these series in a timely manner, then they can go to hell - I'm not waiting 12+ months. Two days delay is enough for me!

Ah I see. If it were ch9 you would see one episode of the current season then a series of re runs for no particular reason. 12 months would be a great result.

I don’t have BB so that would be hard for me.

Never got into 5th gear, tiff tends to peave me off a bit for some reason. But saw him on some oldschool top gear behind an m5, and I have never seen so perfect powerslides, just unbelievebly ballanced.

Cool! I wish we had a show like that here, but watching this is good enough!

Vicki is cool, and is an awesome driver too! Tiff is awesome too, however I can't watch him in action without remembering how he wrote off one of the genuine RS1800s that had been a rally winner... But I do love his style "they've told me to not turn off the traction control, oops, my finger slipped" :hihi:
