Top Gear Cancelled

Top Gear has been lame since tiff left. Who cares if discovery won't show it anymore. They were showing re-runs anyway. The show is still on BBC and if you have satelite, you can get it. I had watched Top Gear since it's inception. "5th Gear" with tiff needell is a far superior show. Jeremey clarkson is a douchebag.

Yes, but they also mixed in a pack of british and fench made camry knock offs that little to know even in europe gives a crap about. Most importantly, the show was british car centric. Yes they had many models but it always came back to what was available in britian and mostly what britian itself built. Like the rest of the world, america couls car less about british cars. (hah)
who knew a tv show in britain would be about british topics. go figure. americans are idiots.

no way, tiff is the man. jeremy is an unskilled moron who has literally zero to contribute to society.
5th Gear did an awesome show about the RS200, audi coupe quattro and lancia delta integrale

topgear on discovery was like clarkson with his balls cut off while being forced to enjoy a hyundai. www.flixvault.org if you wanna get your fix. www.finalgear.com if you want to check out discussions (torrents of the UK version are no longer hosted for the time being). best place to get UK torrents is IRC. good luck
tiff & clarkson used to be in the original topgear series before it got cancelled. tiff brought the show to channel 5 hence the name change to 5th gear. 5th gear in many ways still runs like the original top gear show which made it popular in the 90s. in 2002 clarkson reintroduced top gear with dramatic changes and producers with a penchant for auto-mayhem-and-buggery & a new element called The Stig, a pro driver who's job is to bring the cars to their knees on their test track. unfortunately discovery thought it necessary to edit the segments and refilm the studio audience so that none of the cars/car manufacturers available in the US were presented in a negative way. it lost its bite & purpose for being. clarkson's misbehaving was found on the editing floor, same with hammond's and may's disdain for the cars they reviewed. i still watched it, for nostalgia purposes, and because i'd hope that with high ratings they would bring an "uncut" version to the US. now i'm kinda glad its gone. i almost forgot how much better, grander, faster, nastier, and very unfriendly the UK version was...almost.

i don't watch the show on tv for the middle retaped segments. i just thought it was nice to see good quality versions of my favorite tests on tv instead of crappy internet copies. the tests were all still the same and that's all that matters to me.
