    Top Gear is airing on the BBC 1.5 hours later than usual. Means this will all be pushed back a bit. Will change thread title when the episode has been posted.

    Here we go....This one is the last of a very short Season 15 folks...back in the late fall.

    Season 15 Episode 06

    As usual...please leave a note if you download. Some discussion about the episode would be nice too.

    Poll went well for the last one...going for four...

    Those wanting the HD dl should wait...will be up in about 5 min from me posting this.

    Someone recently asked me how to access the HD version. Become a supporting member of M/A.

    Downloading now. Thanks Nate.

    Wow.... 4 min DL, Tuls, I'm jealous, I'll be watching in about 1-1/2 hours later after my DL completes.

    I found a better WIFI spot in the house and it only took about 10 minutes.

    it was probably about 10 min as for some reason the first time I clicked post I didn't quite get it.

    However, yeah that's better than 1.5 hr

    The main thing that helped me, I have now is a new router. Amazing what a diff it makes.

    It takes about 5 min for each download for me too, which is awesome!

    Very thoughtful observations on the British car industry, and striking parallels to what's going on in this country too.....

    Interesting choices of cars too, I expected the usual Jag, Triumph, MG troika. And notice the difference in the generations? The Healy was very 70's, all black plastic with a splash of wood across the dask, rear drive and leaned way over in the corners, smoke pouring out of the tail pipe after a long tough corner - front end high on the highway due to terrible aerodynamics.

    The 80's TVR with it's cream leather interior and dash, and much better ergonomics - good top seal, quiet running - bog stock Ford V-6 power.

    Then contrast that to the 90's Lotus, with it's front drive Jap engine and driveline, modern style (the car still looks contemporary!) yet it was the one leaking oil, with dodgy electrics and a window regulator that had failed. It was clearly faster and better handling than either of the other two as well....

    Anyway, very good show with the possible exception of the SIARPC part with Jeff Goldblum, that must be the area that they cut down when they show the series on the US BBC channel!

    Hammond to Clarkson: "Don't ever say that to me again..."

    In context, probably the funniest line of Season 15. Pepsi sure hurts when it comes out the nose. :crazy: :smile5:
