Rep Power: 0   |  Re-recording... Hi guys... firstly its cool to be on the forum... i love top gear, and to find a place dedicated to top gear is really kul... secondly, if this thread is a repeat of one done before... sorry... this is not a suggestion to the site exactly but more to the content... during the "off season" when the latest top gear episodes are being aired, they show the old episodes again... why not re-record the old episodes so that we can watch them in better quality... sure this may take a while and it means doing alotta stuff again, but it makes sense to me... we all love top gear, so why not be able to relive the early years of the show in the same quality as the latest episodes? what are your guys views...

Rep Power: 18   | How about capping them from UKTV? On some days they show Top Gear all the time, but their picture quality is quite bad and they cut out the news. I am pretty sure, that the bbc only shows best of episodes during the off season which don't have any news segments. So overall it's not so practical.

Car: 1998 Subaru Legacy 2.5L Rep Power: 39  | You can get all the old eps in 350mb format already so I don't see any need to recap. The catch is that those recaps do not have segments where people had to vote for something - eg; Greatest Car in the World.
