Oh man that was a good season opener. That Koenigsegg CCX is beautiful! I couldn't believe it was too much for the stig. Thanks Zimu!

All around good episode. The CCX was insane. And yeah, I was shocked when The Stig lost it.

Anyone else catch what I'm almost positive was The Imperial March from Star Wars during the Civic piece? I thought that was pretty nifty.

It looked like just paint to me. If they need to replace or repair the bumper it will be serious cash.

A scratch on a Ferrari costs a few grand to fix, haha. Any damage to a supercar is $$$$$

I wish we could get an unedited version of TG here in the states. I have to watch the show a few weeks late via bit torrent.

Where can I get the whole season in one torrent or download?


I wish they would broadcast the show here in the states and do it in an un-adulterated fashion. Usualy when the UK has a hit show and they try to air it in the states, they will edit and change it so that the program is differant than what you see on the other side of the pond. I do not want an American version like they did with Pop Idol and a few other shows that have made it over here but in a differant/alterd form.

googer: there have only been two episodes this season. the first is already hosted by me (check sig.) the ones that are linked via torrents/ http are the unedited UK versions, not some smothered down US one.

the first is hosted. the second will be in about 1 hour. will update here.

It's funny how the Brits didn't expect the Z06 to do as well as it did. Their attempt to find every bit wrong with it is very apparent. Silly arrogant Europeans.

well, obviously they didn't. given the track record of american cars you can't expect the rest of the world to actually think that you guys are capable of making a half decent car!!

funny you're calling the europeans arrogant: you must be american ;)
