The one where they drive and talk about cars..... >> What episode was on tonite? > > The one where they drive and talk about cars..... A typical David Springthorpe boring comment Found your bin yet? I was shocked that Jeremy was in a car doing over 200k at Laguna Seca with a race suit and no helmet.. That has to be the strangest bit of Top Gear I have ever seen >I was shocked that Jeremy was in a car doing over 200k at Laguna Seca >with a race suit and no helmet.. >That has to be the strangest bit of Top Gear I have ever seen Off the top of my head: Christmas special. Christmas 2005. Golf R32 clobbers BMW 130 M Series. Classic sports car beats Max Power. Unfunny bloke from Little Britain takes the sensible car around Top Gear's circuit ... slowly. Laguna Seca beats Clarkson (aka real life beats playstation). BBC International cuts out lots of stuff. SBS gives people the sh.ts with more commercial breaks.

The "edited" version SBS screens sucks. Downloading the shows off Torrent is the go. Just watched episode 3 of this years series a week ago. >>>I was shocked that Jeremy was in a car doing over 200k at Laguna Seca >>>with a race suit and no helmet..

And can you save it to CD or DVD? >>>>I was shocked that Jeremy was in a car doing over 200k at Laguna Seca >>>>with a race suit and no helmet.. [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > Whats the file size of an episode streamed? > And can you save it to CD or DVD? get your self a bittorrent program, go to mininova.com and do a search for Top Gear, you want last years epps (because in Australia we are a year behind) then download the torrent file (choose one with at least 10 "seeds" (they are the people "seeding" the file so you can download it). Go to bed and in the morning it should be there, average file size for a topgear ep is 350 meg, and some HiDef ones are over 700 meg Oz > get your self a bittorrent program, go to mininova.com and do a search I'd use mininova.org instead, as it is the free original version. The .com site makes you pay. Matt. >> get your self a bittorrent program, go to mininova.com and do a search > > I'd use mininova.org instead, as it is the free original version.

Daryl >I noticed that too, I wonder if the track officials were aware he was >not wearing a helmet? Does anyone notice that they frequently often only have one hand, and sometimes briefly NONE, on the steering wheel, and turning towards the camera, when going the absolute clappers, or are these bits added on later at low speeds ? >>I noticed that too, I wonder if the track officials were aware he was >>not wearing a helmet?

You reckon that the race suit covered the fact that he was wearing senior's nappies? :-) At more than 300 km/h, things happen very quickly. Without training and experience, information can saturate the brain. It takes a while to adjust. I get that when first driving again at free Autobahn speeds... it's a real strain even at 160+ if all one's seen recently is "110". Takes a few hours to adapt before one can cruise constantly at a higher speeds.

Ive only been into the mid 300's and frankly I was at the limit of what I could process , though that will be tested again later this year ..

Filmed in the USA, the land of litigation where everyone is even more scared of being sued than we are making it even more amazing that he wasn't wearing a helmet.

So when did they move Laguna Saga (where the segment we were talking about was filmed) to Britain or Europe?

I don't know about SBS, but the BBC's latest episode was bloody awesome. Topgear Space Shuttle..! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCab1BNFjjc for a preview.

For a brief moment I thought they were going to pull it off. It looked spectacular at take off. Was a little dissapointed that they didn't give the Porsche and the Ferrari to The Stig though.
