Does anyone know what the title of the episode is? Fifth gear is on twice a week on Speed, which day is it?
It won't be on SPEED, here in the US we get episodes that are at least a year old. I think
some Canadian cable providers have FIVE tv, so maybe our friends from the north could help too.

Well for us, it's on tonight.
I'll record it on my media center pc, and when I work out how to edit and compress that, I can make it available.
I find it funny how you guys rate out programs so highly. We find 5th Gear and Top Gear a bit stale now in formats, and the quality of the actual car information poor. It's just car entertainment, rather than factual.
The BBC cancelled Top Gear, and so the presenters started 5th Gear on channel FIVE. Then Jeremy Clarkson (who left Top Gear earlier), came up with the new Top Gear format, which 5th Gear now tries to copy.
That would be really nice of you to make it available, some people don’t have BitTorrent so that would be really great, or to save you the trouble of editing, b/c
www.finalgear.com edits out the commercials, someone could download and compress it, I would, but I have no place to upload it to.
The “News” section of Top Gear is informative. :biggrin: Seriously though you're right, I think that is why Americans like them so much because they are so entertaining. Also they are on primetime slots in the UK so they have to be entertaining. Our car shows are at odd hours, either in the middle of the afternoon on weekends or later, that being said you will never see a Mclaren SLR make a 1,000 mile journey on any American automotive show, or a race between a plane and a Ferrari 612 to a ski resort.
To me if I wanted a factual review I would buy a magazine, but to see an Enzo, Zonda, Carrera GT, etc... in action FG and TG are the best IMHO.
