I hope somebody who downloaded the original episode could tell us if they just hair it completely or if there is some cutting here and there or some strange mix between different ones!

to quote the comcast box from speed: 8pm: Debut: An automotive magazine from the creators of "Top Gear," a popular BBC show. First up are three classic-car bargains.

8:30: Road testing the new Alfa Romeo 156 and Nissan Primera

I have the last 2 series of 5th Gear and can't seem to find these...
maybe I missd something...
maybe we get the new series before you guys

Sorry but the Primera and 156 test are indeed pretty old

And I think the 156 is the GTA.. I don't remember in wich season it was, maybe Spring 2003, but not 100% sure at all...

my ass will be planted on the chair watching.

T-Bird · 07-12-2004, 10:05 PM

well that was definitely different from watching on the computer monitor.
They started out with like the first 5th gear shows ever the first ep was the one with the Lamborghini Murcielago and the Sunny vs. Viper etc... the second one had the cars listed above and the Range Rover vs. ML vs. X5 4.6 and the Mini Cooper S

I watched both episodes, it was GREAT to finally see 5th Gear on TV (27" is a little better than 17"

) instead of having to d/l (no offense jabba

)...and now my dad is a big fan of the show after getting to see a couple episodes.

The bit on the Citroen C3 thing was hilarious, he kept pulling pieces of the interior off and making fun of the build quality,

something you'd never see on American auto shows. Even though I've been watching Top Gear & 5th Gear for a long while, its something extra to see it on TV, I really hope they keep showing more episodes! 8)

After cutting out all the commercials, each episode is about 22 minutes. Looks like we're really getting the full episodes.
