Stew Posted June 22, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted June 22, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Hand Luke Posted June 22, 2008 Share 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.

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.

stanski Posted June 22, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Quads Posted June 23, 2008 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 23, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Quads Posted June 24, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 24, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
