Torrents for series 16 episode 1, or however they're counting it, should be up within hours!

Episode 2 is out. If anyone watched the Australian Ashes challenge, it is more-or-less just that, also has a segment on the Ferrari's GTO's.

I love this shows ability to keep the ideas fresh. Who would have thought a mile long race between a Porche and a Beetle could be so close!?

People need to lighten up.


The BBC has apologised for remarks made on the television programme, Top Gear, that caused outrage in Mexico.
Top Gear presenters characterised Mexicans as lazy and feckless.

A couple trailers, which obviously could be considered spoilers for the season:

Clarkson is right the E Type is one of the great cars of all time. That updated version is incredible too.

I want one of those marauders, that thing would be hilarious to drive around Calgary.

Haha, Clarkson awkwardly hitting on Amy Williams = awesome.

Anyone catch 17X03?
Vettel is a seriously funny kid, and does he ever fly quick around that test track.

Usually I don't watch the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment, but I've watched all 3 so far this series, and next week is Rowen Atkinson. In the past few years they actually have had some people I know and thus I watch them. I remember in the old series (1-9 really) when they had only British celebs.

This series has been pretty good so far.

I look forward to Rowan Atkinson's lap. He crashed a Mclaren F1 so I can only imagine what he'll do in the Kia.

Did anyone catch Adam Carolla's Car Show last night on Speed? I recorded it so I'll watch it tonight.

That list isn't very good.

The best episode is the African special.

ya I dono how they missed that, definitely in the top 3 for me, Oliver itself is worth of top 5

don't think the rest of the list is great either

the tom cruise episode was one of the best star in a reasonably priced car segments (which can at times be painful to watch) but outside of that I don't think it was a memorable episode

I also dislike that list, and I've seen every single Top Gear episode (I even had a checklist) The one where they make their own police cars, the South America special, the limo challenge... arguments can definitely be made for any of those.

I used to watch Top Gear on BBC Canada a couple years ago, but more recently I watched every episode from the very beginning up to the latest. However I remember something from watching it on BBC Canada that I never saw from watching from the beginning. They raced 3 different SUV's up a mountain. I'm pretty sure one was a Land Rover. Anyone remember this? Did I miss an episode or something? I don't like the idea that there is Top Gear content out there that I haven't watched.

This was from a solo work by Clarkson.
