Mmm, but more chance when you haven't, and believe that it's fine to go to you local open space and try to be Douglas Bader with no idea about learning, being insured etc... Wink

There are three possibilities for you to watch.

You could go to the top gear website, www.topgear.co.uk and watch the last episode before the next one starts, it is rolling and no library of previous show. The only problem here is that if you have an overseas IP address, the website knows and you get a copyright message that restricts the show to the UK. I have a T-online IP and a couple of times it worked and the rest it did not.

The next option is to get around this with a proxy server. This never worked for me, so it was the last option for me.

Depending on your thoughts about it, you can download each epsode the following morning from the link below as a torrent (That is how I watched the whole last series without any problems)
Final Gear

Yep. People avoid fire. People find avoiding out of control RC aircraft flown by ignorant muppets who've no idea what they're doing a little harder! Smiley

Brilliant!!!!

Great to see a Harrier back on Dunsfold as well!

+ the Prodigy song in the Aston vs Jaguar was a brilliant choice as well!

I'm really glad it's back!

My jaw hit the floor when Hamond said some of the things he did prior to the crash! I was just sitting there saying 'My god! How prophetic was that' Shocked Shocked

Now all we've got to do is plough through another week of work before the next Top Gear. Grin

Cheers,
