gingrrr Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 I am quite excited as Top Gear starts tonight [ 8pm Sunday 22nd June ] http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/seriespreview.shtml Also this page shows you which cars are faster and which slower than your stock 350z. http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/powerlaps.shtml PS I am the Stig. http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/swf/topgear_videopromo.swf Quote
Stew Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 I have it series linked on both my sky+ boxes! Don't want to miss out. Missed far too many episodes working away. Quote
nixy Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Oh god, i knew that but had forgotten (no short term memory left when you hit 40). Thanks for the reminder - will pop off and set the sky+ now. Are they looking at the GTR tonight? Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins are on as well and I love them they are so funny! Quote
Cool Hand Luke Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Must admit i cant really be bothered with Top Gear these days - i think its become more of an 'entertainment' show rather than a 'motoring' show. I dont think you learn much about types of cars and what they'd be like to live with etc - its just 3 fools arsing around these days. Quote

Reviews of 1.8 Mondeos aren't entertaining. Bring on powerslides, stupid challenges and some fat bald vs slow posh vs small spikey hair banter. Quote

stanski Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 No need to worry if you miss it like I probably will - it will be repeated endlessly on the 500+ other freeview channels anyway ! Quote
marzman Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 You know what, i've not seen any of the new top gears for the last year... i got a new cable box and arranged my 'favourites' - but missed BBC2 out... and didnt realise until about a month ago... Quote
jim Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 and the competition on a sunday night at 8pm is ...................... Football tonight. A no brainer. Quote
Cool Hand Luke Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 and the competition on a sunday night at 8pm is ...................... Football tonight. A no brainer. +1 to that (although it wasnt the best game admittedly - glad Spain won though) Quote
rmmackfc Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Watched both, thanks to Sky +. Nearly fell off my seat laughing when the rear wheel came of Jezzas Fiat Quote
Ian Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Nearly fell off my seat laughing when the rear wheel came of Jezzas Fiat +1 Quote
Rob_Quads Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Mixed thoughts about last nights episode. Some good bits, some bad bits. Thought the whole reversing thing was just pointless and un-interesting. The segment about the 1 gallon race was much better and covered around the same air-time. Looks like there could be some good features just hope they don't try and over do the 'stupid' activities.

Chris`I Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Nearly fell off my seat laughing when the rear wheel came of Jezzas Fiat +1 +1 - I half expected him to kill the Stig with that car!! Also so glad that our cars are more economical than a Prius! Sad that its only 6 episodes though, they never make enough in a year Quote
AK350Z Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Anyone know when the repeat on terrestrial is? missed most of it! Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 go to the iPlayer, its on there www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer brilliant bit of kit! Watched it at work today!! Quote
gingrrr Posted June 24, 2008 Author Posted June 24, 2008 tape!!! what's one of those? Dude - you bought a car with a 'Tape Drive" in - did you forget? Quote
AK350Z Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 go to the iPlayer, its on there www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer brilliant bit of kit! Watched it at work today!! I know, but i'm back it holland at the moment so iplayer won't work. The hotel has BBC1 & 2 though. Quote
Rob_Quads Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 The joys of having a UK proxy Even though I am in the UK all our work traffic gets put out to Germany so we can't see any of the BBC footage. Had to setup a proxy at home to use when ever I want to watch online stuff. Quote
Chris`I Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Blimey, you mean to say the BBC is clever enough to stop foreign IPs watching?! Pffffff Sure you can find a University's proxy laying around. Exeter had a few when I was there and they werent very secure Quote
