***OFFICIAL*** TOP GEAR: SERIES 8 THREAD

[DaveJ]

From finalgear.com:

"After lambasting caravans over the years, the team embark on a caravanning holiday in Dorset. With the help of the Totyota Formula One Team, The Stig and a very large building, the lads try to find out how fast you can drive indoors. Film star Brian Cox is the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car, plus there's test-drives for the Vauxhall VXR, Mazda 6 MPS and Mondeo ST220."

Yeah, there have been a few guests who have mentioned that it's hard to understand the Stig because he keeps the helmet on.

It starts off pretty sketchy too.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Any word on the 700MB version?

I don't know, but the end on the 350mb version gets really annoying. It fades in and out constantly.

 

[GTaudiophile]

I will wait for the 700...

 

[Atheus]

It's a good episode. medium level fast driving, medium-high level destruction of property, high level funny.

Hammond: but... this is an AK-47... why did you bring an AK-47?

 

[Strk]

You call that medium destruction?

 

[johnjbruin]

That was awesome.

TG > *

 

[maddogchen]

that F1 thing was lame.

edit: LOL, saw the caravan end. OMG :laugh:

 

[ElFenix]

that was the best episode evar


i was laughing for about a minute at the AK

 

[m2kewl]

it was good - the end was funny.

 

[maddogchen]

i'm sorta mad that they didn't show the mazda, or the ford mondeo stig runs

 

[zimu]

sorry guys, totally forgot its back! downloading now, will have the 700mb version up in sig link in a couple of hours

 

[zimu]

latest episode is up.

 

[MBrown]

LMAO at the Vectra review.

 

[MBrown]

Some of the vids I cannot view because WMP doesnt support the codec. I have to Divx AVI codec. I cant even play them in Divx. Anyone know how to get around this?

 

[0roo0roo]

heh u almost wonder if they didn't burn that thing down on purpse. crazyness. that dog is mellow.. i guess they choose him for that reason. but jeez, atleast from the footage he gets in he must sleep all day. a perfectly convenient dog heh

 

[pecel]

I wish Comcast have BBC in their lineup

 

[EyeMWing]

OH, CRAP. I FORGOT ALL ABOUT TOP GEAR.

For the first time since I started watching, I'm more than 12 hours behind

 

[EyeMWing]

I hope to god they pulled the AK47 out of there - those things aren't easy to own in the UK.
