    I have ATT U-Verse and i have TOP Gear everyMonday (one at 5 then at 8) but none tonight (?) also on weekends...

    TOP Gear USA (which iwent to the shoot-but went home= heat exhaustion) is cancelled according to an article i read ( i cant remember where) one reason being that it may not be good for US car manufacturers to get criticism from a visual/hands-on review for everyone to view - yeah well- make better cars!!!

    BBC HD was annouced to be coming "next season". Whether they meant the "spring" or fall season was unclear.

    Anything that has Porsche/VAG cars in there- including the top speed run at Ehra-Lessein(sp?) with the Bug-Veyron- wouldnt it be nice if there was such a track here like VWs testing ground that we can do runs on?

    Re: Top GEAR

    Are the Top Gear episodes you get on cable/sat still two years old or have they caught up a bit? Or don't you know that? Cox cable is way old.

    Re: Top GEAR

    I am so lost. What was the last episode? Was it a GTR episode in Japan? My friend said that episode was from last season. And I haven't seen a Top Gear episode on Comcast in a couple of weeks.

    Re: Top GEAR

    The Nissan GTR Japan episodes were from season 11, originally aired July 2008. For some reason, I always get the older episodes on DIRECTV as well.

    The newest episode was the Vietnam roadtrip special, season 12, episode 8. I believe the show is on hiatus now and will be back in Spring, 2009.

    I have Cox, so I get BBC America in the mid 300 channels (338?)

    They air "new" shows on Monday. This week was season 11, episode 6 (the one after Jeremy injures himself at Fuji). Its Britian vs Germany, my favorite episode

    I agree - Britain vs Germany has got to be the best one I've seen in a long time.

    As for the US version - NBC decided not to take it. So now BBC is shopping it to other cable channels.

    Re: Top GEAR

    the winter olympics episode just aired! "captain slow" beat jeremy, that because "captain slow" was driving an AUDI. yeeeeah!!

    Also, i dont really believe American Cars have any pride in the craftsmanship... especially when you compare them to German cars... i was so bummed out when my parents opted for a Dodge Ram and Crystal Sebring ... i was soooo close to puting my mom in a A4 cabroliet...FUCK!!!
