I don't have an answer. Perhaps you can PM DeviousTrap?

gtaudiophile has said that the last episode seems incomplete... can anyone else confirm that the upload was corrupt? I watched the same file which i had on my PC last night and it was working perfect, all the way to the end. from what i see there's been about 17gb of bandwidth used, which is what - about 25 downloads-- i'm sure someone else would've complained if there was an issue!

could anyone else confirm there's a problem with the file? i'll reupload if necessary. file size seems ok...

You DO realize that the Stig really isn't a person, right? It's an AI construct in a mechanical body built with one purpose in mind - driving like a madman.

if you call the company up and ask for one, you'll get one, guaranteed. All the boutique car companies are like that. "Production" means they aren't going to make one until it's paid for.

this show is so epic. i look forward to it every week and long for it in the long periods between seasons. it's like, fifth gear is a good car show. i watch every episode. i like it. but TOP gear... it's just SO good. the camera work, the writing, the creativity, the personalities. what do we have to do to get the real british top gear on PBS in the states? fvck that discovery channel edited crap.
