If you guys have a bittorrent client, you can download the original UK version from
www.finalgear.com. If you wander through the forums you can find and request episodes and most often you can find the one you are looking for. A few people who have all the seasons have set up FTP sites to download them, if you are familiar with this format(I am not) this would be the easiest way to get them. To get to the ‘Video Request’ forum you have to register to the forum, no drama. I found a bittorrent link that enabled me to download all 7 seasons of the new format (2002-present)almost all in 350 MB per episode some 700 MB, less than a hand full of sub 200MB so all in all the quality is awsome. It took about a week to download
but it is well over 24 hours of Top Gear, 24.3 GB(thank god for an external hard drive). In those 7 seasons they review literally just about every car imaginable NSX-R included.
As we speak there is an American Version of Top Gear in the works for the Discovery Channel to replace the edited UK version, the pilot episode has been filmed I believe in the SoCal desert on a purpose build track. There is more information in the finalgear forums about presenters, format and some production pictures, but most of those people in the forums are UK Top Gear fanboys so they are flaming the hell out of the American Version, even before it has aired, oh well, ignorance is bliss I guess.
I think that is the reason why they are re-airing these Top Gear episodes now to make way for the American Version sometime in the spring. Lets hope for the best
