Not really fussed personally - they will surely be old episodes that we've all seen.

I will still rely on JW for my Top Gear fix every week - instead of waiting 3yrs I get it the next day.

Did you guys catch the drive tv attempt at top gear?? It wasn't a bad show but after seing top gear and the attempts to copy the show realy spoilt it for me. like having chip instead of the stig.

That time is from the SBS website soo no hoping

From what I have read they will start with Season 5 and then goto Season 8. Others rekon Season 6.

I get TG from the scene, soo it doesnt matter what they show, cause Im upto date haha, but its great they put this on, to put some ozzie journos in their places

I know the ozzie journo's should sit and watch how its supposed to be done. Their "drive" & "the car show" tv shows were boring boring boring.
