I've been a TopGear fan ever since I saw the first few original episodes from 1989. That show is incredible, honestly the best show on television.

I just finished watching the newest episode (season 10, episode 2) just now. I got all my roommates and a lot of guys from work addicted to that show (we meet up every Monday for TopGear night.)

The only bad thing is waiting the 18 hours to bit torrent the damned thing (which is why we have TopGear Mondays and not Sundays)..............and that Polar Special they did was an AMAZING piece of work.

I WANT THEIR JOB!

You can download the torrents here...............http://www.finalgear.com

It'll take a while (usually overnight per episode) but it's WELL worth it. Great show.

 

Don't you guys have regular cable? or basic satellite? BBC America comes with most decent packages and they show the new episodes of Top Gear just the same as in the UK. It's much easier than downloading, I promise...

 

BBC America actually does not show the most current season. Currently (on Comcast anyway), they are showing re-runs of Season 9. I scanned BBC America for the next two weeks on the DVR and there isn't a Season 10 episode anywhere............so THERE!

Plus, I have some hope for all of you guys not wanting to "torrent" the episodes. I just picked up 300GB of server space for my new resume website. Once I figure out why it takes so damned long to FTP files up, I'll have all the TopGear episodes to download straight from my site.......no waiting 18 hours on bittorrent. So, THERE AGAIN. Downloading wins.

 

Love Top Gear !

*sighs loudly* Look at the calender, man, it's the year 2006, okay, season 9 is in full swing. If you want to pretend you're in the future, go ahead, make a fool of yourself. Richard just got out of the hospital, like, two weeks ago, and the least you could do is send him a card or a note wishing him well, instead of just sitting there, imagining it's already 2007. So there.

 

Was Top Gear known in America before the launch of the BBC America channel ?

 

When did the BBC channel launch? I can remember watching episodes back in high school on the internet and that was 98-99... I believe.

 

about 4 yrs ago.

cool, that kinda answers my question So it was known through the Internet.

I don't think it was syndicated on any other channel in the US other than BBC.

 

When G4 first came out, they showed re-runs (like BBC America does now) of TopGear, but not very often. I remember watching the Lambo vs. Evo episode...........AMAZING episode. That episode is what spurred me to spend months of downloading to get all the episodes. I really wish they would release a damned DVD Box set. They would sell by the thousands (ESPECIALLY here in the US.)

 

I live in charlotte nc. Have cable packagewith dvr Where is this show??? Please
