Jeremy Clarkson about the Stig:
Some say... his scrotum has its own gravity-field

^ I'm sure Jabba will put it on the http://www.mininova.org/tor/.

That was a very nice episode! The Gallardo SL / GT3 RS / V8 Vantage 24N feature was great... A lot of beautiful shots of the cars on the most incredible roads against amazing backdrops. Unfortunately they focused more on getting the nicest shots than on the actual cars and the driving itself. But perhaps I'm a bit spoilt by Chris Harris's vids where he drives those kind of cars to the limits of grip and beyond

I really love the driving roads feature.
If i ever go on a holiday i think will go to the col du turini and the stelvio pass.
That are some proper driving roads.

Nope there was no HD transmission I am afraid, the main feature will be up in an hour or so (its most of the show hence why its taking so long to upload - over 300 MB)

^ I think Jabba meant that the main feature took up a big part of the whole episode.
I've just timed it and it's over 30 minutes in total (including the "discussion" in the studio before and after the feature).

It's also on Usenet, where I just got it from, so if you want it fast, Newsgroups are probably you're best chance.

That was a great episode! Top Gear has such high production value. The camera work and how everything is produced is just amazing.

Can someone fill me on on their "Everything is real" comment in the very beginning? I assume they got some flak in regards to their challenges or something?

Great episode! Made possible by Jabba. Thanks for covering the backs of those of us who don't get Top Gear on TV!!!

I don't want to spoil the joke but the jab Jezza made at 5th gear made me spit soda. I have a feeling that some JW members close to that final mountain pass are going to be taking a road trip next spring

I can't fill you in officially but I have a feeling that you're on the nose about the comment. I have had the feeling that certain aspects of past challenges were set up, but I've gotten really good at just enjoying things lately so it hasn't really bothered me. TG is incredibly entertaining as always

Yes it is. However, your internet service provider needs to support the newsgroups that you want to download from.
