Top Gear. Discovery Channel. It's not on the listings.
i saw that too, wtf happ to top gear, i checked the website and found nothing maybe they have a break or something. But the shows were batched up 04-01 episodes, so if you dl all the other seasons from uk version you be ok and set. I love top gear thou, I wish it was aired from bbc to U.S. The discovery channel one was not good thou.

Seems about right.. BBC has done 6 episodes season of "The Office" and now "Extras". BBC sucks ass as bad as HBO and they are obviously now in bed together.
You either get a 6 episode season or a 12 episode season with a 2 year break like "Sopranos".
I am very, very sad to see that Top Gear is going to be turned into the same deal... I guess when they started the American version on the Discovery Channel it was the hand writing on the wall...

That is a tough article. There is truth to some of it, but it is best heard from a U.S. citizen. The U.K. has it's share of issues as well...
The world is full of effed up circumstances, and until we collectively stop complaining about them and start fixing them, ther does not seem to be an atonaumic solution around the bend.
Just my $.02, thanks for letting me toss that out there. :bow:

I think the reason it is only 6 episodes this time is b/c of Clarkson injuring his back. lol

Thank you for contacting Discovery Channel. We appreciate you taking the
time to share your thoughts and concerns with us regarding Top Gear.
Your comments will be forwarded to our program management and executives
and will be taken into consideration.
The "Top Gear" show was not "taken off the air" but rather ran its pattern.
It is being revamped for a U.S. audience and will return later this year.
Look for it in December.

A new one just aired yesterday, didn't it? I've been searching, and haven't had any luck.
Oh, and I was reading the BBC site, and it says that another episode will be filmed later this month. Good news, because I thought the rumor was that yesterday's episode would be the last one of the year or something?

umm ur gonna have to use. Bittorrent. I recommend using Bitcomet, just Download that and then there will be a place where you can find torrent sites, use mininova its the best for top gear vids. then you search for top gear vids, and there u go, full episodes and even full seasons if you want to see from 02-04 full seasons. I have them I deleted 02 season by accident, any ways i hated that fat dude anyways lol.

theres nothing to it, just dl bitcomet, and then search for your vids on websites like. www.mininova.com and then dl the torrent. and there just wait till it downloads. I just finished downloading the skeleton key and it took me 3 hours via bitcomet at a good 50 kbs/second. holla! im gonna watch it now peace.

What exactly is a torrent? Is it a media file that requires a player, and that's what something llike bitcomet is?
AcuraLegend
11-09-2005, 01:35 PM
What exactly is a torrent? Is it a media file that requires a player, and that's what something llike bitcomet is?
it's just a method of downloading, while you download a certain file you upload what you already have of it to other people trying to dl the same file; the more people the faster the dl (you can limit the uploading but your downloading speed is affected)
after you dl bitcomet you go to a site (ie mininova.org or thepiratebay.org), search for something (file/folder/whatever) and click dl
torrent i dont know what it is, i think its like something to do with people sharing seeds and peers to get downloads of videos and stuff faster. And no your media files dont need nothing to play torrent downloads. all you need to do is download bitcomet. which is a bittorrent program that allows you to play with your bandwith to get downloads faster. And it shows you what your downloading. Sort of like a Napster/Limewire. Once you go to a site where they have the torrent you want like lets say you want to download top gear episode 05/17/05 just click on it. Then it tells you all this shit about seeds and leaches then click on the torrent you want again. You get a save as or open window just click open, then you go to your program for dl which is bittorrent you press ok. Then you start downloading. The more Seeds and Peers you have the faster you will be downloading. You can Lower your upload speed and make your download speed faster. And all that shit. but its all just easy.

Ah, okay. Then why do I always hear people referring to media files as "torrents?"
Because they are a whole object not just bit and pieces like lets say downloading a cd from limewire where you go track by track downloading. Torrets have all the episodes all the cd tracks of a album all in one download. So they have to make torrents to download them. SO you cant just download torrents off lets say a limewire. You need a torrent file. But torrent files have the .mpg, .wma, mp3, and all that shit in them once you download them you have the source. I also downloaded office 03 with a key number in it already. LOL theres alot of shit you can use torrents with.

Also I truly now want to move to the “Isle of Man” and own a 911 Carrera S! That car just rules! I would have picked it over the M6 and Baby Aston even before the piece! The Aston did have an incredible sound but that’s about it…
Hammond said he ordered a Carrera S too. Also wouldn’t you love to know what JC had written on that piece of paper at the end? LOL

The Top Gear telly programme has quietly become a global phenomenon. Recent figures suggested an extraordinary viewership, something in the region of one billon people across the globe. This explains why Jeremy gets mobbed on the streets of Dubai, why Richard Hammond is swooned over by housewives in Auckland and why James May will shortly appear on a series of commemorative stamps in Luxembourg. Probably. Only one country has been strangely resistant to the charms of three blokes cocking about in an old aircraft hangar - the United States of America.
Untill now. Earlier this year, Discovery decided they wanted in on the Top Gear action, starting with 18 repackaged programmes using existing items from TG UK. Accordingly, our pluckly lads spent five days at the Top Gear base recording new studio linkds in a more American-friendly way. Basically, getting Jeremy not to call them fat and stupid. This, however, was a mere entree for Discovery’s main plan: to make thier own version of Top Gear on US soil. Thier own studio, thier own test track, even - since our boys were too busy and anyway James May doesn’y like places that don’t server a decent cup of tea - thier own presenters.
That’s why earlier this eyar a brand new TG USA production team assembleddeep in the Mojave desert to create a pilot show for thier version of Britain’s favourite almost-BAFTA-winning car programmer. And, liker thier idea of what constitues a decent cup of coffee, the American take on Top Gear wasn’t entirely the same as ours. Instead of a shabby hangar and a track built around arifield taxiways, they got a pit garage and a proper circuit. Instead of filling the studio with 200 grunting Subaru drivers, they did without an audience. And instead of The Tall One, The Short One and The Other Oen, they hired three rather different American presenters. Bruno, a professional drag racer with casual tales of crashing at 230mph. John, the super keen jock, blessed with quaint ’sir and m’am’ good manners that only Americans can do. And, Johnny, a former reality show winner with a nice line in wierd humor.
Fortunatly some reference points remained, including Star In A Reasonably Priced Car. But, to set the power laps, there could be no substitue - the Stig was flown to the US and stunned everyone with his blistering pace as he hammered the CLS55, Charger, and Mustang round the circuit.
After two days’ shooting, the show that popped out of the other end was something familiar and yet rather different. For one thing, filming in sunshine gives the show a glossy feel a million miles from another drizzle sodden canter down a runway in Surrey. And shouting “Bring on the Stig” just sounds cooler in an American accent.
If Discovery likes the pilot show, a series will follow in 2006. Then Americans can enjoy a weekly shot of Top Gear, just like the rest of the world.
JC sporting a baseball cap? Hammond and May swapping high-fives? Certainly not! However...

The Stig arrives in the States to show 'em what Top Gear is all about
January 18, 2006
The Top Gear telly programme has quietly become a global phenomenon. Recent figures suggested an extraordinary viewership, something in the region of one billion people across the globe.
This explains why Jeremy gets mobbed on the streets of Dubai, why Richard Hammond is swooned over by housewives in Auckland and why James May will shortly appear on a series of commemorative stamps in Luxembourg. Probably.
Only one country has been strangely resistant to the charms of three blokes cocking about in an old aircraft hangar - the United States of America. Until now.
Earlier this year, Discovery decided they wanted in on the Top Gear action, starting with 18 repackaged programmes using existing items from TG UK.
http://www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2006/01/stories/08/images/1/large.jpg
A proper test track and sunshine... this can't be Top Gear
Accordingly, our plucky lads spent five days at the Top Gear base recording new studio links in a more, er, Yank-friendly way. Basically, getting Jeremy not to call them fat and stupid.
This, however, was a mere entree for Discovery's main plan: to make their own version of Top Gear on US soil. Their own studio, their own test track, even - since our boys were too busy and anyway James May doesn't like places that don't serve a decent cup of tea - their own presenters.
That's why last year a brand new TG USA production team assembled deep in the Mojave desert to create a pilot show for their version of Britain's favourite almost-Bafta-winning car programme.
And, like their idea of what constitutes a decent cup of coffee, the American take on Top Gear wasn't entirely the same as ours.
http://www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2006/01/stories/08/images/2/large.jpg
'Shouting "Bring on the Stig" just sounds cooler in an American accent'
Instead of a shabby hangar and a track built around airfield taxiways, they got a pit garage and a proper circuit.
Instead of filling the studio with 200 grunting Subaru drivers, they did without an audience.
And instead of The Tall One, The Short One and The Other One, they hired three rather different American presenters: Bruno, a professional drag racer with casual tales of crashing at 230mph; John, the super keen jock, blessed with quaint 'sir and m'am' good manners that only Americans can do; and Johnny, a former reality show winner with a nice line in weird humour.
http://www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2006/01/stories/08/images/3/large.jpg
Fortunately rain didn't interrupt proceedings... ever. It's the desert
Fortunately some reference points remained, including Star In A Reasonably Priced Car.
But, to set the power laps, there could be no substitute - the Stig was flown to the US and stunned everyone with his blistering pace as he hammered a CLS55, Charger SRT-8 and Mustang GT around the circuit.
After two days' shooting, the show that popped out the other end was something familiar and yet rather different.
For one thing, filming in sunshine gives the show a glossy feel a million miles from another drizzle-sodden canter down a runway in Surrey. And shouting 'Bring on the Stig' just sounds cooler in an American accent.

The more car shows on TV the better. I rarely watch TV, outside of the Power Block on Spike. It probably won't be as good as TG UK, but something to watch anyway.
*edit* Did anyone see the episdoe where they were trying to get those super cars out of a narrow ass parking garage?? I think there was an Enzo and a Ford GT, don't remember the third car...but it was entertaining to say the least.
Great, we get a bunch of jock-straps going off about how bmw's need more musclecar performance and lower prices.
The top car is going to be the new z06, just wait and see.
(not saying that is a bad car but supercars are priced higher for a reason besides just performance)

A special episode of Top Gear will air on Febuary 12th:
Car ice hockey, car ice skating and a ski-jumping Stig in a snowmobile are some of the highlights of Top Gear’s version of the Winter Olympics. The team filmed in Lillehammer, Norway, for a show that will air on Febuary 12 to coincide with the real winter games in Turin. “Jeremy won on style,” said Andy Wilman, the producer. “He did some spectacular James Bond power slides. Torvill and Dean eat your heart out.”

I still can't believe that the Stig drove the CCX off course. My heart sunk when I saw the back end come out but the net result was not too bad.
A lot of the reviews were condensed because they're short on time. The World Cup is coming around and they need to usher in as many cars as time allows.

Yeah, there aren't going to be that many. I'm downloading the torrent right now as well. I just wish that they make a great review of the ZO6!
I'll post my thoughts after I watch the episode.
Edit: I just finished watching it and Jeremy did take the ZO6 out for a spin. It made such a great lap time and I was just amazed! It beat out so many supercars with ease.
The rest of the episode was hysterical too! Just watch it and laugh as all three of them are up to their usual tricks.

Funny when Richard crashed headon into the iceberg and nothing happened to the car, not even a scratch, just kept on going.

LOL @ HiLux Diesel going down!!
The newest episode out of Top Gear was a blast. My favorite part was when Jeremy took out the new Exige-S out for a spin on the track and blitzed the course.
Everyone must watch this episode for the sailing competition where Hammond and Clarkson take a dive!! :rotfl: You will laugh you ass off!!
