And don't worry, if you fuck something up, it stores revisions of everything and you or I can easily restore an old version. images/smilies/wink.gif

Looks good. That post probably should have gone in the Wiki section instead of here though, and there are a couple of things though that I should mention:

The presenters' names need only be links for the first time they are mentioned (if you know what i mean). We agreed that too many links makes it look untidy. images/smilies/smile.gif

The number of screencaps should be rounded up or down to 4, 8 or 12 to keep the page looking tidy, and the main screenshot probably shouldn't be repeated, so maybe you could drop that one. I also add page breaks to make the screenshots section sit below the infobox.

I would also try to make the captions read like Jeremy's 'On this show' lines instead of just being descriptive. :0

Finally I would try to vary what you call the presenters. For Jeremy try to revert between Clarkson and Jeremy, for Richard Hammond, Richard and Hamster work best IMO.

If you want to be clear on what I mean, have a look at 09x04. This is one I've been tweaking and adding screenshots to today and yesterday.

I hope you understand that I'm not being picky or trying to enforce my own rules, but I've contributed a fair bit to this and I'd like it to all have the same style.

You can change it if you think it looks better and you can look for errors (im portuguese sorry ) and i apreciate your advices images/smilies/biggrin.gif

P.S - Started doing 11X02 today , only lacks the episode discription

I tweaked the text, and I've added all power lap times to the wiki. I spelt Gumpert wrong though (thought it was Gumbert images/smilies/biggrin.gif

) but now the Wiki doesn't seem to load at all on my PC. images/smilies/sad.gif

The very latest Top Gear news and views from the team. Jeremy, Richard and James explore the idea that you can't be a proper petrolhead unless you have owned an Alfa Romeo by buying three slightly used Alfas, each for less than 1,000 pounds. Jeremy also conducts possibly the least appropriate power test ever as he takes the gargantuan Bentley Brooklands onto the track, and Gavin and Stacey actors James Corden and Mathew Horne are the stars in the Reasonably Priced Car

In the episode discription on the main page says that the SIARPC are James Corden and Mathew Horne , but they actualy are James Corden and Rob Brydon.

I think i´m right ( dunno , i´m portuguese images/smilies/smile.gif

)
