This maybe a repost but I am a huuuuuuge Top Gear fan, love the show.

Well, here is the EVO/STI comparison....granted the cars tested are nothing like what we have here in the US, its an informative bit and a must see.

click here, enjoy!

Are Top Gear and 5th Gear the same?

no they are two different shows.....I actually prefer fifth gear though.

Here's a link to download complete Top Gear and Fifth Gear episodes, they are frequently updated, bit torrent is needed: http://gear.viper007bond.com/

is there a downloadable version of this? All I get is a stream, which I can't save. I've got the short version of this video but I MUST have the long version for my DVD player ;D

Check www.suprnova.org , there are frequent torrents of top gear posted under TV Shows / automotive. If you want a specific episode, requesting it in the forum almost always results in next day reseeds as well.

Hmmm.... it seems that Top and 5th are hosted by the same people though... I think I've seen Jeremy and Tiff in both. I might be wrong, but im too lazy to find the ones I have

Does anyone have the link to the newest EVO MR vid from Top Gear? It was posted on the evo forum but its no longer available. I've seen the past two...one profiling both the STi and Evo in Scotland...and then one where they throw the Audi S4 in the mix.

edit: opps...I found it on the racingflix.com site...all the way at the bottom...now if only it would let me download it without cutting off lol
