zeitgeist57 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 ...is just plain quality automotive television. On YouTube. I got through Episode 5 part 5/7 just now, and based on the time it was added I may not be able to catch the rest of the show (parts 6/7 and 7/7) before I get to bed. Really, everyone that is a true car nut should watch this show on YouTube on Sunday nights (before the BBC makes everyone that posts vids remove them because of copyright infringement).

wnaplay1647545503 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I have seen the shows on various occasions but could never really get into it. Not sure exactly why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not download every episode in their entirety for free? I have seen every episode on that list: http://www.finalgear.com/shows/topgear/ Top Gear, I think, is one of the greatest television shows of all time. Not just because of the automotive aspect, but because of the different challenges and locations they feature on the show, it gives you a "world-wide" viewpoint of technology and culture. That, and the hosts are hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Or DVR it or watch it ont BBC? BBC America airs them one season behind, and chops stuff out to fit an American format. You're missing a lot if you just watch the american releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Top gear is the best car TV show EVER! Oh and that new GTR is the shit, that thing is just amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 top gear rules. Fifth gear however is exteremely boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 how does 5th gear even work? seriously what do they do since top gear is the main show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 how does 5th gear even work? seriously what do they do since top gear is the main show Imagine Top Gear with half the air time, different hosts, no comedy or audience and 1 or 2 car reviews and maybe toss in a car vs. car segment. I still watch it just for the knowledge but it isn't NEARLY as entertaining as Top Gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBussman1647545507 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm on season 7,the only TV show I watch, downloaded them off a torrent site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT_Nick Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 how does 5th gear even work? seriously what do they do since top gear is the main show 5th Gear is more informative. Tiff used to be on Top Gear while back and I guess he didn't have the right attitiude. Also, for those who haven't heard, there is going to be an american Top Gear. I'll look up the hosts but I know one is Tanner Foust. I predict epic failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey2721 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 +1 finalgear.com this season hasn't been as good as last season though. IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1647545496 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 is it the actual BBC version or the version they send to the US that gets chopped up and shortened so commercials can be added. and i have every episode of Top Gear (BBC version) all the way to season 9 and all you have to do is hook up the computer or external hard drive to your X-box and you can watch them on your TV. and the quality is excellent bit torrent FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FourString Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 truth. when does the american attempt air? Dunno...I have not been keeping up with it. I am still skeptical about it. It will be hard to mimic such a perfect TV show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coty061885 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 American Top Gear should start this fall. I believe they are taping the pilot this weekend. People from all over the country were making the journey to LA to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
