Thanks, I tried to take a look, but I'm a techno-retard, it's all Greek to me. I'll just have to hope that Streetfire gets it soon. I still haven't yet managed to get any songs onto my new MP3 player. It's 5 years old, but never opened. It's like every music site charges $1+, per song.

After 15-1 I thought the magic was gone, but after watching 15-2, I see there's still hope.

I downloaded the HD versions, and the audio was off, it was a few seconds faster than the video. So now I'm downloading the SD versions. 500mb opposed to 3.5gb!

Did noone enjoy the "Ford Transport" versus Holden Ute drag race, nor Richard's comments afterward, enough to comment? Best thing ever filmed. I pity you guys.

The normal show is delayed until early next year.

Top Gear USA premiers soon. That's all I've got.

Anyone remember the show: "Junkyard Wars" ? I can't find the old episides anywhere, and I'd like to watch them again.

It has occurred to me that different countries, or perhaps it's the continents, seem to have different lengths of TV show seasons. When did Top Gear Australia ever do more than 4 hours in one year? When did Top Gear England ever do more than 10 in a season?
Over here, most of our shows go at least 13 episodes per season. But Top Gear America is a non-starter.
Obviously, the only reason Top Gear England works, while the other 2 don't is Jeremy, James and Richard.
But it seems Andy wilman is running out of ideas. I've got a Duesy of an idea. I've tried before, but can't get through to him. I don't want any money or glory, either. Participation, yes, but my passport is good, and my schedule is flexible.

I've got to be honest that's what does it for me. The perfect mix of personas, and comedy comes before anything. I also love how they have a few "normalities." Ever notice they are always crashing into each other? Or the touring car drivers? The whole Stig thing. I love it.

That's because any way you slice it, the show is strictly about entertainment; comedy-tech. If you don't like the hosts, the rest is entirely muddle.

Heh.
Is that your way of saying you openly disagree with me?
