Are Ch9 even going to be bothered showing them. They paid a fortune to steal Top Gear from SBS, showed like 3 new eps then kept showing old repeats.

Idiots.

Damnit!! I have to wait a couple of weeks to start getting them. I'm already over my d/l limit for the month, and I'm off overseas for 10 days as of Friday. No fair.

I thought the episode was excellent. I was starting to go off of TG a bit. I have actually thought the first episode (hopefully the rest) went a step backwards from the stupidity. Was good to see a whole show about cars and their reviews. A lot less scripted segments with the 3 of them just generally finding way to include humour. Love the last bit with the Jag and the whole British thing.

Agreed. Channel 9 look as if they won't be too far behind either for those who don't like to use torrents.
