Check out the discovery channel. Starting at 7PM PST, there's going to be a long series of TopGear episodes. Enjoy!

Too bad Discovery USA and Discovery Canada are totally different channels!

Hey, didn't I see you driving them?

And yeah, that was pretty hillarious. I couldn't stop laughing watching them crash the cars into walls

Speaking of the episode with the 3 cars under 100 quid, the real show was the the McLaren comparison to the Enzo and CGT...Talk about stupid fast!!!!!!!!!

I just watched this again last night. TIVO recorded several TG episodes. Has to be one of the best TG's with Nick Mason's Enzo. That one gets transfered to disc!

The Super Car Comparison in France is another good one. Ferrari, Zonda, and Ford GT. The Ford GT kept running out of gas, the zonda couldn't get out of a steep parking structure, and there were a few other mishaps. Very funny episode. I have it on my computer somewhere if anyone is interested....

A huge Top Gear fan here. It's fifty times better than any US-based tv show about cars. I've downloaded all the BBC shows from the web.

The ones on the Discovery Channel are slightly edited (dumbed down?) to eliminate some of British slang and references to UK celebrities and locations.
