TT 10-12-2004 04:38 PM

Can't wait of course!!

PATo355 10-12-2004 04:42 PM

Dont know how they will fit all those tests in one Hour ... but lets hope its 90 minutes now :D

Ford Capri 2.8i 10-12-2004 04:47 PM

Of course im looking forward for the program

FPVPSI 10-12-2004 04:50 PM

WOOHOO...i can't wait, Top Gear is far superior to 5th gear, more entertaining, better reviews... :P

chest3r 10-12-2004 04:51 PM

Finally Top Gear is back :o :o :o and with promising beginning

ferrari550 10-12-2004 04:57 PM

Can't wait, just can't! I want to see the ferrar vs aston rematch.
although the porsche challenge sounds cool

AlienDB7 10-12-2004 05:01 PM

Looks like it'll be another great season. Can't expect anything less from Mr. Clarkson ;)

Wonder how will the Supercharged Ariel Atom do on their track. The NA version was very fast already, will the supercharged version beat the CGT?

Anonymous 10-12-2004 05:02 PM

Thanks for the info pato, can't wait for it to start, actually quite looking forward to the car restoration pieces, should be interesting :D

I think that we will see these cars all along the series and not only in the first episode :wink:

nthfinity 10-12-2004 05:09 PM

definately looking forward to TG... but we still have the rest of the season for 5th gear, which im also looking forward to

twboy1999 10-12-2004 05:12 PM

Basically they (the presenters) each buy a shit Porsche... one of the cars they regard as Porsche's worst. They then compete, or see which will last the longest

That's as far as i got into the story as i lost my copy of this month's TG :oops: .. an i ain't payin anothe £4 for a copy either :|

LOL Jeremy isn't a porsche fan :P at least hammond is their to stick up for them :D

Schwalbe 10-12-2004 07:14 PM

Can't wait too..

And I hope that Top Gear will test the new E60 M5 this season. :wink:

Ill Dottore 10-12-2004 07:18 PM

THanks for the heads up

Can't wait to watch the show

Cheers

FoxFour 10-12-2004 10:19 PM

Car restoration, eh? Seems like they have been watching too many of these 'reality' shows that feature the same thing. But I bet it will done per Top Gear's wacky sense of humor. The Crap Porsche Challenge? I like the sound of that :lol:

coloradosilver 10-12-2004 10:50 PM

Excited for this season to start as always. I wish Top Gear could be an all-year thing, but I suppose it's just as well, they need time for the new cars to come out in order to test them. But anyway.......Lets get it on, Top Gear!

CMonakar 10-12-2004 11:06 PM

I suspect the 575c will rip the Vanquish S a new one around the test track. I can't wait to see the results.

SilviaEvo 10-12-2004 11:07 PM

WOW! i cant wait!!! all this in one episode? or am i missing something?

jamberl 10-12-2004 11:07 PM

Thank god this is coming back on again!

You guys are right, this dumps all over 5th gear

homemade wrx 10-13-2004 12:01 AM

I wish we could get top gear here, but we don't. we just started getting 5th gear though.

really? then why did he put the porsche 996 Turbo on the second spot on his Top 100 car list? ahead of his own ferrari 355?

and yeah i'm so fuking happy now that TG is back :D. Jabba are you ready for some ripping? ;)

thanks for doing it btw.

Fleischmann 10-13-2004 01:12 AM

OMG!! It seems this is gonna be the best episode ever!! 4 supercars in one episode!!

I repeat that I doubt they will test all these cars in only one episode. It must be a preview of the season like on the previous season ...
For the BMW M5 I fear we will have to wait next season ...

jakaracman 10-13-2004 02:53 AM

10 days to go ...

Yes and I should be uploading it less than 30 mins after it finishes.

yg60m 10-13-2004 04:53 AM

He's got a weapon :wink: : an ultra-fast computer :lol:

How can you rip it so quickly? If I edit some digital video and then start the compression process, it takes always at least one hour. I don't even want to say the rendering times for digital video :D

3.8 - 4.0 ghz P4...check out the computer section for more details. Its no accident and with lots and lots of work that I can encode a one hour divx video in less than 15 minutes.

Think I am bullshiting ??? ask anyone that has access how quickly Mondays 5th gear appeared.

Jabba 10-13-2004 05:55 AM

That also incudes the rendering time as I add a custom logo throughout the video and titles with a transition at the beginning...sounds like your using premiere that can be a bit overkill in certain circumstances.

Darkel 10-13-2004 06:14 AM

Supercharged Ariel Atom :)
I wish I had BBC2 ...

TT 10-13-2004 06:17 AM

Well, you don't need BBC2 when there is JW :D

Darkel 10-13-2004 06:25 AM

That's right, but I wanted to watch it BEFORE :mrgreen:

bmwmpower 10-13-2004 08:18 AM

when will be in top M5? i cant wait,
i think time will be 1:30 on the wet, can be better

possessed_beaver 10-13-2004 11:14 AM

yeh the M5 will be awsome, i cannot wait to see it again!!!
seemed like it only finished the other day!

TT 10-13-2004 01:59 PM

On a side note, short quote from evo #73:

Quote:

The car (Koenigsegg CCR) was fitted with a stronger, sintered clutch, in preparation for Jeremy Clarkson's test in a few weeks' time
nice :D

VERY nice :wink: It seems that Koenigsegg chose Jeremy Clarkson to become well-known by the public :P they couldn't made a better choice :twisted:

Wutputt 10-13-2004 02:50 PM

I can't hardly wait!! I already programmed my videorecorder :D

Why did he destroy a 911 in one of his videos?
I think he never liked the 911, until the 996 Turbo, 996 GT3 (RS) and so on.

schnell318 10-13-2004 02:51 PM

Hmmm, can´t wait!!! Looks like a great show

jorge 10-13-2004 02:58 PM

It seems it´s gonna be great, as always.
Top gear is getting better and better than 5th gear. :|

crayzayjay 10-15-2004 06:10 AM

The wait has been long. Too long.

Just read through my copy of Top Gear, that's about all the info they give apart from Clarkson having a 928 and May having a 944. Both sound like complete sheds so it's bound to be a laugh. They also say they will be launching an ice cream van off a ramp to see how high it will go. Oh, and they buy a bus which gets turned into 'transport fit for the gods'. apparentely.

philios55 10-15-2004 10:52 AM

The best car tv show is back!I can't wait for it!
