Yeah so far its been a great series. So I have some good info for you guys on here. I'm in the Air Force stationed in England, so of course I have been hooked on Top Gear as well. If you go to the BBC 2 website and click on Top Gear under shows, it goes to BBC 2's Top Gear webpage and it stores all the new episodes on there just after they are aired. The shows are stored for 48 days. I get the awesome privilege of watching it on BBC 2 on sunday nights

I'll add the link on here. Also I just went to the MPH auto show here in the UK for the second time and saw the Top Gear Live show. Its was great again this year. Its cool to get to see Clarkson, Hammond and May live!! Very Very funny stuff!!

Impressive mileage from those diesels, too bad there's not been a greater effort to get greater diesel use in the US.

once again it sthe age old quesiotn of could they sell them. not when deisel is still a dollar more expensive a gallon. not really all that feasible when most deisels that would actually make it over here would not get the mileage to overcome the price difference.

although i completely agree, HYBRIDS ARE NOT AN ANSWER.

What is the plugin/codec needed to play these files?

If you're just downloading the file from FinalGear, you don't have the show you just have a torrent file. You need a torrent program (I suggest Vuze) which takes that torrent file from FinalGear and uses it to download the whole episode.

I just saw that new episode.

Now, Jeremy complained how its impossible to get 800 miles (or so) from full tank of gas. But not that long ago didn't Jeremy get over 800 miles from Audi R8 3.0L diesel?
