I am a big fan of the british Top Gear show. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
The funniest car show on the planet. Do you watch it ?

Last show featured the Boxster Spyder (the one with the tent)

The show can be found from this enthousiast website

I love it. But I don't get BBC America on my cable. Who is the Stig?

Super show. And who the Stig is is anyone's guess. I think Schumacher was a red herring.

I watch "Top Gear" when I remember to.

I thought "the Stig" was revealed to be Steve Matchett, author of The Mechanic's Tale and Life in the Pit Lane.

The show I watch with dedication is "Wheeler Dealers".

...............Do you ever notice that the parts and repairs they make....DO NOT include LABOR to install.???.the mechanic must be slave labor., a situation all too fimilar with mechanics.

We have it DVR'd. Oddly enough, my wife, who is totally not a "petrol-head," loves the show! After putting up with my car and motorcycle (spending) habits for years I think she is beginning to see what the attraction is. It's only a matter of time before she asks for a Stig tee shirt.

Now that "Corner Gas" is off the air we get our laughs from "Top Gear."

What, you've never heard of "Corner Gas?" THE funniest 1/2 hour sitcom EVER!

I have a source that gets the initial torrent, and I DL from him every Sunday. I'd share it if I could, but there are only about 15 people that get that feed to keep from overwhelming his line.

The segment with the Robin had me rolling.

Yupper, I DVR it. My wife and daughter both love it, though they only tolerate my car addiction. Clarkson is a melon head for hating Porsche. But since he pronounces Porsche with only one syllable, he demonstrates his idiocy again and again...

You downloaded the torrent, but did you actually downloaded the video ? Do you have a torrent client software installed? Try VUZE.
If you have the mkv video already downloaded and can't watch it with your current media player, try installing VLC media player.
