21 Top Gear is back!

A quick visit to finalgear.com made me realize I was off on TopGear again. I wasn't following the news and rumors on when the current season will or may start, and nobody on fastestlaps.com told either.

But deep down I had this flair it was just about time for another series. When at last I decided to check the finalgear.com counters, this is what I found:

"The latest episode of Top Gear finished airing 0 hours, 3 minutes, and 34 seconds ago."

Oopps. I did it again.

I missed the season start. At least this time not by a couple of episodes, but, rather, by just a few minutes. If you missed it too, now you know it's time to fire up your bittorrent client and get leeching!

@Hamcee Yeah pretty much. Also BMW don't want their tech (even though you can buy a car and strip it down) being sold.

Must say really good 2nd episode. Alfa 4C, looks good, but will still take a Cayman instead. That quad water bike thing was fantastic, though a bit on the pricy side. But the P1 just makes me feel funny inside, and it's been ages since a car has done that to me! (No not the GTR)

i assume they use ls engines, because they are much cheaper than equivalent bmw or mb engines.

I also feel TG is changing, But is it because of BBC? The Cars? Or just the Hosts?..or maybe the viewers.

And it is true a lot of people woldnt know what certain cars are, TG is the Ultimate PR when introducing a car, They get the car globally known.

And yes, I EXTREMELY tired of Fricking EVERYONE using a Corvette engine!! I love Vette engines, But leave it to the Vette, Use a damned Bmw or MB motor already, LS engines are some of the best engines ever, But its not the only one out there.

I Also wouldn't say this is as interestingly looking as a Veneno, Just the rear is ugly to me, everything else is okay.

But yes...MY EYES!!!!....(On the rear end)

What about the Canadian Felino... It's kind of boring to see boutique automakers everytime opting for LS engines... They could try something new. Maybe a HEMI?

So what's unique about this thing? The design... Absurdly schocking!... As BR2 used to say:"MY EYES!!!"... It is on the same level of madness as the Veneno! I can't find a proper word to describe how disgusting it is; especially the rear...

You have to be totally brain-ill to afford one of these for that much money. For the same money you can buy the new Z06, which is superior in every possible existing way.

Is it only me who thinks Top Gear lately has gone much less exciting?

The latest episode I watched from 2011 year's season (..yeah, yeah, I know..) lacked the charm that used to be in previous seasons. Especially the car reviews every time go worse. Almost no useful facts on cars they test, less comparisons and less jokes... And I can see that TG does not provide as much PR for the cars they as used... Just look at the old good Ascari A10 and Noble M600. Without TG's PR nobody would even know these cars! The same I guess can't be told about today's TG management...

Is it 21st season already? Hell, I haven't watched even the 19th yet...

BTW, I think it's time them to update the reasonably priced car for stars. A Skoda Rapid would be an optimal choice.

Its not bad, reminiscent of the R8 in front, Ugly as hell rear end, but I do love middle exhausts. Overall shape is lovely, But ill call this one questionable.

@BR2+: The Felino CB7 is an awesome looking car. @_@


User avatar

Canada..They certainly have "Interesting" cars when they come out.

The 2015 Felino CB7, Seems, Interesting, a 6.2L V8(Seems to be an LS3 from a GrandSport) 525Bhp-490Lb Ft, 6-Speed Manual or 6-Speed SMG. Its small though, 165Inches long, 76Inches wide, 45Inches tall, And they say the Price is UNDER $100,000Ca, So about $170,000 USD, Looks are questionable. But I don't see this company succeeding, I just don't. Im not a huge fan o it, rather have an M4.

Given there on BBC. And is an incredibly popular show, Id say there budget is quit big.

But im sure the P1s review will be the best they can make, Its a British car, And unlike any UK car. Im Extremely curious what its laptime will be, Ive no idea on what to guess.

Agree with kage about the episode, but what the hell is TGs budget, they rented a tank and trashed a grocery store

Off-topic: new car from Canada, Felino cb7

its either that, Wait awhile, Or buy them all on dvd.

Also its Top Gear, So we cant really expect It to be an "Actual" car show rather then comedy, But still good nonetheless. Rather watch the Walking Dead or an Anime though. Top Gear is good, but I feel its declining.

I never knew about streetfire. Had a look at it, but it seems the resolution is a bit low

TPB, Streetfire or wait a year...whatever you choose sadly won't change the fact this was probably the worst TG episode I have seen so far. Hope the P1 test won't be the only thing worth watching this season.

If you get ads, download adblock+

Thanks for the info, FastestLaps. Definitely will try it.

Fangio, if only i could send you an invite for the tracker where i get my TopGear... It's for automotive videos only and covers F1, MotoGP, different car-related TV program mes (TopGear UK, USA, Australia, FifthGear, everything)...

When I got to the "Invite a friend" page what I saw was "Sorry, only Power Users or higher may send invites" lol

But TopGear you can get from places like PirateBay. The seeder/leecher ratio will be crap for the first 24 hours or so, so you probably won't be able to finish download very quickly.

Shamefully I will have to wait a year till the new TG season starts here...

Top Gear is in each season more and more of a popular BBC show than a proper car program with reviews and art. Its now totaly comercialized, biased, almost a bullshit i would say. Its not for a pure cars enthuziasts anymore.

Its is for average Joes that know shit about cars.
