    Just finished watching. The only boring part was the SIRPC I know many already dislike that part but even if I don't know the star I usually find it entertaining, that guy though I was bored.

    I think the only SIRPC that I truly enjoyed was Sienna Miller (I think that's who that was...the baroness in G.I. Joe, right?). I really think it helps to have a really good show around SIRPC, otherwise it just drags down the show but it's usually the slower part.

    I think a lot of the reason we have trouble with the SIRPC segment is our cultural differences. Top Gear often draws some really big British names that are not household names outside of the UK. Today's was a perfect example of that as I'd imagine very few of us know anything about British politics.

    I can't seem to get the video to play, I got the audio OK, but I must need a codec or something - any suggestions? I'm running Vista and Ive tried opening the vid in both Quick Time and WMedia Player, no joy in either.....in Media Player I get the audio but no vid. In Quicktime it says I need something, but it thinks I have a MAC, which I don't.

    The VLC player works well, but the odd thing is I was able to watch the first one in WMedia Player with no problem......

    Thanks!

    I'm seeing speeds of 1.6-2.0 MB/sec on download. If you are seeing slowness in the download please run a tracert if you know how and forward me the results.

    Thanks Nathan and Jabbles. I just dumped my other #&%@*#$ player and downloaded VideoLAN. It works with much better goodness. Now plan to download S15 E01 & E02, and enjoy them without the hassel.:D

    Check out the Citroen DS3. If they ever have any hopes of taking on MINI, they have to at least have a web site that works. I went to NEW CITROËN DS3 official website clicked on the Configurator tab and went off into never-never land. Maybe I'd reach the end of the Internet. :eek6:

    On a different note, watch for the Canajun content :D

    Other noteworthy highlights include a Merc that can't go forward and the introduction of Stiggy-ray-cyrus. Excellent German lesson too. I didn't know Scheiße translated to "oh bother" :lol:

    I wonder what I can do to the airport lounge Wi-Fi if I start this download? :devil:

    Guess I'd better wait for a better connection...
