Finally... after waiting for so long Top Gear makes it to US TV and not the crappy one. Not sure if they are new episodes or past shows from the BBC...

Was that the one where Jeremy smashed it up and it still kept going? He did that with an old Porsche as well.

Actually after some research these are old episodes, but I havent downloaded any since season 3 I think so they might be new to me..

the US episodes are actually re-shot with new audience scenes, with clips of the cars from scattered episodes in the past. Best experience is to download all the old ones and start from the beginning of the UK version.

The episodes listed look about 12 months old, tonights was the new m5.
Clarkson took the p**s out of complicated gizmos, but overwise rated the car as capable as a ferrari 430 but with four doors.
They went through two m5s during filming ,trans faults, sound familiar!
He has returned his gt40 as a lemon after 2 months of non starting and hinted in the mag he may buy an m5 instead , I ll be right behind him when I find the other £60,000.

Circuit in 126 seconds same as evo 8, less than just about everything non supercar.

Yes yes - all from 2002-on, that is.

The M5 review in tonight's episode was perfect. Such a contrast to the practically non-critical Fifth Gear review.
