Chris, in Canada, we get Top Gear on Digital Cable twice on Sunday 1st
August on BBCW. I just checked the listings, but there's no program
information yet.  I'll be watching both time slots at 1:30 and 8:30PM
Eastern Standard Time.

By the way, that's a great show! Did you see the Aston Martin race the high
speed train to the south of France a couple of weeks ago? The new Aston
Martin is amazing and won the race!
Chris H. - 28 Jul 2004 16:21 GMT
Actually, that race was a few MONTHS ago for us.....it was an interesting
trip they made....that's for sure.

What was the last programme you saw.....I'll try  and work out how far
behind you may be

Chris, I watched an episode on Wednesday July 28th and they were testing the
new Porsche Carrera GT. It beat out their previous speed record holder
(McLaren) for the track they test on.What an incredible piece of machinery!
When did you get that episode?
Chris H. - 29 Jul 2004 17:46 GMT
The DB9 race was shown on May 9th.....but there was the Euro2004 football in
between and the shows were "suspended" for a few weeks

Chris, it sounds like "the colonies" are on a 2 month time delay! Gads!
Chris H. - 30 Jul 2004 16:26 GMT
The DB9 race is actually available on their website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/downloads/ if you want to watch it again and
again....

Apparantly, they've already recorded the C6 and someone posted the whole
gambit on the UK Corvette Club website
http://www.corvetteclub.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=556 but has subsequently been
"snipped" to avoid disappointment to viewers who want to watch with bated
breath....

Keep an eye on that if you want to see where the C6 place in the
rankings....it will be unsnipped next week
