finalgear.com is a good site for top gear info and links to the torrents when they are available

The upside is that if you take your falcon/ fairlane over there it will really stand out, but their beaches are crap.

Wow. Tomorrow, brilliant.

Two ways to grab it, bittorrent or usenet. So keep an eye out as it'll be up for download less than a few hours after it's been aired.

Oops, I forgot the 3rd way. Wait 4 years for SBS to broadcast it. :P

Great show, can't wait until it is on SBS again. Anyone know when it will appear again on tv ? And what series of the show is SBS actually up to ?

The UK TV season starts again in a few hours, so by tomorrow, the rest of the world will be looking online to download it...

10 more episodes on the cards, and if you're hunting online, don't forget to check out the polar special from the end of last season - Hilux vs dog sled to the North Pole!

The new first episode:
Quote:
As we take the tyre-warmers off a new series of Top Gear, the wait’s almost over. We’ve got ten whole episodes of excellent-ness ready to unleash on your Sunday night viewing schedule, and you simply won’t believe what Messrs Clarkson, Hammond and May have been up to over the past couple of months.

So, for one night of the week at least, you can banish cookery and home-improvement programmes from your screen and enjoy some good old-fashioned petrol-based fun.

In episode one, we decided to find the finest driving road in Europe. Coincidentally, Lamborghini, Porsche and Aston Martin have recently seen fit to release a brace of new lightweight road-racers in the form of the Gallardo Superleggera, 911 GT3 RS and V8 Vantage N24. To quote Hammond, I think you can see where this is going.

Also in the first programme, Jeremy takes to the test track in an improbably powerful VW Golf, and we put a monarch (sort of) in our reasonably priced car when Dame Helen Mirren comes to visit.

Later in the series, we’ll treat you to a selection of massive challenges and stunts. You’ll see the glorious return of the amphibious cars, in a voyage that makes the crossing of a reservoir look a tiny bit feeble. We put the biofuel we grew last series to seriously good use. And we spend an entire programme in Africa as our intrepid presenters attempt one of our wildly over-ambitious, but cheap, races.

Also: it was massively delayed, gave some of the finest engineering minds in Europe nervous breakdowns, and is too expensive for all but the richest Arab potentates - and that’s just the car. Find out what happened when the Bugatti Veyron met the Eurofighter.

It might surprise you to know we’ve even thrown in some road tests and reviews of the most exciting and interesting cars to hit the road - including the latest Ferrari, Porsche-baiting new Audi R8 supercar and hotly tipped Caparo T1.

So, stop the clocks, silence the dog with a juicy bone and cancel anything you were planning to do on Sunday evenings for the next ten weeks - Top Gear is back!

I love TopGear, but it is always depressing to watch, because you know that it will eventually end.
Hearing the words "and on that bombshell..." is like being stabbed with a thousand knives.

keep an eye on this place as well -> http://tv-links.co.uk/listings/1/926

although they seem to have seriously culled the top gear episodes. used to have all episodes of every season up to season 9 but now there is only a small selection.

hopefully there is more episodes like the stretch limo ones as that would have to be right up there as funniest ever. amphibious vehicle wasn't bad either.

Nope - season 8. If we haven't seen Hamster's crash on SBS, we aren't up to 9.

Don't expect this on SBS until this time next year (and without the news!!).

Yup, you're right of course... S9 is due to start 'early November' on Monday nights...
Given its popularity, it's surprising the commercial networks haven't snapped it up. Maybe they're a bit worried about liabilities!

I wouldn't mind having a crack at the Golf, even if it can't turn to save its life.
