Top Gear
 
Season 15 started on the 27th. Does anyone watch?

Joe Perez 07-02-2010 03:14 PM

Nope. You're the only person on the whole forum who does. Your mother told you that this made you special. But in reality, you know that it just makes you an outcast.

wayne_curr 07-02-2010 03:16 PM

It was funny.

miata2fast 07-02-2010 03:16 PM

Yes I do. There is something to be said about the British sense of humor, and I love to :drool: over cars I can never have.

Preluding 07-02-2010 03:17 PM

I liked it, seems like they got a bigger budget this year... last year was a little dissapointing...

Fifth Gear is better then it used to be to!

Don't you have to be a little bit of an outcast to be on this forum?

yellowihss 07-02-2010 03:26 PM

The only thing I thought was how cool it would to get those sparco seats before they crushed the car.

KPLAFIN 07-02-2010 03:57 PM

Good online source? My usual site isn't working :facepalm:

yellowihss 07-02-2010 04:26 PM

I use vuze. I've herd there are better, faster ones but they have good quality videos.

How much BS comes along with the download?

joshwastaken 07-02-2010 04:30 PM

finalgear.com has links to reliable torrents in SD, 720P and 1080i

http://www.finalgear.com/shows/topgear/15/

Use a player like media player classic for the MKV files:

rider384 07-02-2010 04:56 PM

Anyone got a good streaming link? Can't find one, nor download (popoz been at my house twice for it).

yellowihss 07-02-2010 05:16 PM

I downloaded all seasons up to 12 at once and then season 13,14 and now 15 one by one with no problems.

PM me if you'd like a invite to TheBox.bz.

FRT_Fun 07-02-2010 05:37 PM

I thought it was really good. Lots of laughs... especially with the new reasonably priced car.

kotomile 07-02-2010 06:58 PM

I wonder if Holiday Inn's wifi is strong enough to download this tonight. We'll soon find out.

curly 07-02-2010 07:01 PM

Check out surfthechannel.com for a streaming link.

I thought it was good, but they've had better season premiers. Still loved it.

wayne_curr 07-02-2010 07:13 PM

The reliant robin sketch was HILARIOUS! I couldn't stop laughing and my side hurt.

yellowihss 07-02-2010 07:19 PM

When he (rolled) through them playing cricket, then did a burnout on their field. Hahahahahaha

I dont think that was a burnout, I think he was burning all the oil that seeped past his rings into his combustion chambers when he was upside down :laugh:

Agree 100%... loved it. The whole show was pretty great.

yellowihss 07-02-2010 07:41 PM

I'm pretty sure he spun the tires a little?

rleete 07-02-2010 09:34 PM

I just finished watching the first 4 episodes of season 1. I'll keep going until I've caught up. Ought to keep me out of trouble for a while.

yellowihss 07-02-2010 09:44 PM

It took me 3 months to watch 1-12

NoiseRacing 07-03-2010 12:54 AM

If your looking to stream stream it from streetfire.net. Its amazing how much you miss it when you can't watch new episodes weekly.

The cops have been to your house twice for watching streaming video?

Twice for torrents.

icantthink4155 07-03-2010 09:27 AM

I think we need a Top Gear sticky. Someone makes a thread every few weeks about it. We all love the show, we love the hosts, we love the cars.

That doesn't sound like a local police matter. So, did you go to jail? Pay a fine? What...

Are you running Peer Block?

Although good to use, Peer Block is not going to stop everything.

rider384 07-03-2010 07:41 PM

Hammond's hair makes him look like James May.

It should stop enough so that cops don't show up at riders house twice.

caideN 07-04-2010 12:16 AM

Just watched the reliant sketch and it had me LOL! lol

Trent 07-07-2010 05:31 PM

The Reliant Robin sketch had my wife laughing so hard I thought she would pee on herself. First episode she ever watched with me, and she's hooked now.

flounder 07-11-2010 11:34 AM

best auto show on tv.

That's the first time I've heard the Doppler effect effecting the sound of a rev limiter.

Uuuuhhhhh...is the whole show over and done with? WTF kind of ending was that?

EDIT: NVM series = season in the UK...f-ing Brits, scared me for a second.

messiahx 08-02-2010 03:16 PM

This season was pretty short and less exciting than the previous ones. I wonder what gives. Must be budget cuts.

FRT_Fun 08-02-2010 04:12 PM

how could they have budget cuts... they are like the most watched show in the world. ever.

curly 08-02-2010 04:25 PM

They've always had a shockingly short season. Check out this site:

http://www.surfthechannel.com/show/73109.html

Show they haven't had a steady 10 episode since season 6

Pitlab77 08-03-2010 02:19 PM

just felt a lot shorter than normal.

curly 08-03-2010 07:46 PM

I also liked how the MX-5 got honorable mention for massively out selling the Elan.

BarbyCar 09-16-2010 01:02 PM

Top Gear UK spotted in NC - Dragon Slaying?

mgeoffriau 09-16-2010 01:13 PM

Why can't I find DVD's of Top Gear seasons prior to Season 10?

If the BBC would pull their heads out of their asses and realize that Americans want to watch *new* episodes of TG, they could broadcast it on BBC America and make more from the advertizers.

Instead, we all go download the latest episodes and watch TG commercial-free. Their loss.

curly 09-16-2010 04:22 PM

Comcast OnDemand is advertising episodes of TG that American's have never seen before, and have only been available via illegal downloading. So finally they're advertising correctly, yet the episodes are from season 6.

icantthink4155 09-17-2010 12:08 AM

This season was short but it was pretty hysterical. The DIY RV episode had me dying, I was laughing so hard.

zossy1 09-17-2010 02:39 PM

Netflix has season 10, 11 and 12 on instant view.

Love this show, except they freakin hate Americans, and the "star in a reasonably priced car" segment is boring as shizz.

And now they need a new Stig too.

x808drifter 09-17-2010 09:15 PM

New stig should be a girl in pink.

Some say she eats the souls of men....

OGmedia 09-25-2010 03:33 AM

Didn't they used to have a "black" stig??

curly 09-25-2010 03:44 AM

Yes. Perry McCarthy or someone like that. He was too mouthy and did the same thing as Ben Collins (wrote an autobiography including saying he was the stig) only two years after he started. They killed him off by jumping him off the deck of an aircraft carrier. Some say he took seven years to swim back to shore and will now return. And that that video is a fan made fake.

icantthink4155 09-27-2010 05:01 PM

The episode tonight is from 9 to 10:20.

GTRicky 09-27-2010 06:20 PM

they are actually broadcasting the newest top gear episodes starting tonight on BBCA. un cut from the UK, so hopefully they wont bleep out ----.

x808drifter 09-27-2010 06:48 PM

You can DL all the episodes here.

Reliant Robin fail.

One_Theory 09-30-2010 02:14 PM

This is by far the best automotive show on TV. And my only thought that whole time theyt were crushing the car is "I hope they remove those Sparco's I really want them!"

KPLAFIN 12-04-2010 10:49 AM

Thread Necro FTW!!

Anyway, Top Gear specials on the 21st and 26th of Dec.

Spoiler (possibly):




Rumor is Clarkson has an NB, May has a z3, and Hammond has a Barchetta and they drive from Iraq - Israel or something along those lines:
