No mate, good call. Probably a fair few over the pond who don't know you can catch them on iplayer.

I will move it to off-topic though.

[96bluevert]

Nope, never knew about it..Good looking out!

edit: looks like only the radio stations are available to people outside the UK for now

UK only. Whyyyyy?!?!?!

[manphibian]

Ouch! That's harsh.

Guess it's kinda cruel leaving it here then......


....but then again, you do get cheap gas so.....


unlucky.

[Supersprynt]

Cheap(er), it's actually gone down 20 cents since the beginning of the week.

[parriehunter]

I cant believe it has finished again for another season . Mind you battling the Germans was pretty funny.

Thats what it sounded like while I was watching it. I hope I am wrong to.

[Supersprynt]

Budget issues? They did get the GT-R for 2 episodes...

lol, the bbc is almost unlimited in its wealth.

The standard length of a series (season) in the UK is 6 weeks.
Although i did think Top Gear had more episodes in a season....

[Supersprynt]

Last year it was 10, this makes me sad .

[aflacattack]

i checked, and my cable box has the next episode listed as new!!
its not over!

Yes I was wrong...thats good .

I'm bumping this so that a new thread doesn't have to be created.

Anybody see the last episode? They tested the LF-A and used some comic-book styling. Annoyed me to no end. Now I'm sad the series is over.

[TRD_Ian]

i seen that too and thought the sme thing, why are the making it look like a dumb comic book, although it did awesome going around the track posting the quickest wet lap time ever, and 3 seconds faster then the previous car

[Supersprynt]

Yeah it sounds great, like an F1 car. Some styling cues I don't particularly like but the price is crazy. I'd rather have a Ferrari.

Can't wait for the next series.

[SwissFerdi]

Now I'm sad the series is over.

As in season, or the entire show? Didn't season 14 just start?

[Supersprynt]

Just this series, there are usually 2 series per year. This one started mid-November, and there were 7 episodes. Usually they start late May, early June and end in August/Sept then start again in Nov and last til nowish. Some series have 10 episodes, some 9, 8, 7. IDK how they figure it all out.

[SwissFerdi]

Wow, that's short. Then again, I think 13 only has 7 episodes as well.

[Supersprynt]

I think 13 was 7, 12 was 8, and 11 was 6... it's sad.

[Supersprynt]

Bumping this thread since Season 15 just started.

For those who saw it - the first turn in the Reliant Robin had me cracking up.

[manphibian]

Yeah, i lol'd a bit too.

[epocsirhc]

I hate not getting bbc. I try to watch as many episodes as I can online and netflix(only season ten:(

[Supersprynt]

CastTV.com

[Stambo]

the best part was when he flipped it on its side during the news cast. I laughed so hard from that. Same with the cricket game, lol

[Supersprynt]

Anybody see last nights episode? Why on Earth did they compare a Mercedes AMG with a Camaro. Two completely different auto segments, two completely different worlds. Sometimes I just don't understand why they do things.

[manphibian]

both 6.2 litre v8's

[Supersprynt]

And that's where the similarity stops. I just hate the idea of comparing a Mercedes, and obviously upper-class car, with an AMG badge, against an American muscle car. German luxury is the echelon of automobiles.Even Clarkson loses the idea of the Camaro. It's a MUSCLE car, not an elegant saloon. It's supposed to be in your face, brash, and powerful.

Top Gear FTW!!

[azian_advanced]

I just watched ep 3. I was hoping for an epic challenge where they travel to some far off country and do something crazy. The north pole and vietnam episodes were my faves.

I was a bit surprised when they tried to compare the two...dosnt really make sense......I`d still go for the Camaro though

[epocsirhc]

They just wanted to prove that american cars are obsolete compared to the rest of the world?

[Supersprynt]

No. There was in actuality no point to comparing the 2 cars.

[manphibian]

wow get over it

i didn't think anyone watched it expecting useful car reviews

[Nial]

Best Top Gear Ever tonight......The new Bugatti Veyron blasts the new top speed for a production car by alot of MPH. They get Tom Cruise & Cameron Diaz in the reasonably priced car and a good film about Ayrton Senna...brilliant.

[manphibian]

I hate Tom Cruise, the crackpot. Wouldn't be surprised if it was in his contract that they would get the fastest 2 times

[Supersprynt]

Yeah he's a nutcase. Can't believe he was on the show. I won't watch til tomorrow though.

[manphibian]

Haha, they drove to Blackpool, that's where i live

Note the windmill in Lytham, the Tower, and the TVR factory

[808celica]

the section on Senna was awesome

[Supersprynt]

That was last weeks episode.

[epocsirhc]

I am pissed because cast tv has wisevid hosting the video I guess. I am not able to play the last two episodes. Has anybody else had this problem besides me? I really wanted to see the Veyron;(

[NgoFcukinWay]

you can torrent the eps through finalgear.com. They usually have it in 720p and 1080i. Sunday was the last episode for the season until October or November. Supposedly one of the reasons for the lack of episodes was due to budget and that there's talks about Richard and James not returning/renewing their contracts. *shrug*

[manphibian]

6 episodes is a standard length series in the UK.

[Consynx]

i'm downloading it now, but a season isn't over till there's an awards ceremony. No way they can end forever without giving out the golden ____


....or not, just watched and it definately sounds over for the season. wow
