Apparently the episode is being shown over here in October / November time when they start the next series.
That's awesome.. I'll look forward to checking it out....

Top Gear is one of the best automotive shows out there. It is so much more entertaining than our car shows here. The European based car mags are better too. Check out the photographs and the way the articles are written, then look at our boring mags.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know which show came first, "Top Gear" or "Fifth Gear"?

Excuse me, that's "retrotechnosexual," please.

I'm going to go listen to some LPs tonight on my tube-pre, class A/B-power system.

okay, don't tell anybody I have electrostats. . .
I'm guessing your internet connection is two typewriters connected by a string pulled and really tight???

Top Gear started in its original format in 1977 and changed to the current format in 2002. Fifth Gear started in 2002 with some of the former Top Gear presenters.
