Saves having to go to Bittorrent to find them ;-) On the other hand torrent version is DVD quality - I watched few episodes on a 106' screen - that was fun. The episode featuring the Cayman was one of my first Top Gear episodes - since then have looked at many TopGear and 5th Gear, and can only wish that the Speed Channel would have shows as good Good find - thanks Santa Fe

Yes, despite his review of the Cayman I still like Jeremy Clarkson (for those who don't know, he took some tongue-in-cheek potshots). One of the best episodes was Sabine Schmitt driving the Nurburgring in a Ford van.

Regarding Clarkson's review, if you really listen to what he is saying, it is more a pointed jest to the producer rather than an indictment on the car. Of course, we know Clarkson is more pro-ferrari and anti-porsche, but the reason he says the sat nav is the best part of the car is because the producer didnt order it in his car.

I enjoy Tope Gear, butlove Fifth Gear and wish Speed Channel would get some new episodes of it. I'm tired of watching the same old ones. Plus, if there was ever a woman that my wife would have to worry about me cheating on her with, it Vicky Butler-Henderson. You've got to love a woman who's that into cars and bikes. Didn't she used to be on Top Gear years ago?
