This episode was epic. I won't spoil for the people who are in need of a torrent. But i'll say its epic.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post this here (someone please tell me if I'm not, and I'll take it off), but here's a "m00tv" torrent from mininova.org. It was on the front page under the "most recently uploaded" section.

http://www.mininova.org/tor/174930

I'm still downloading it, so I can't say whether it works or not, but we can hope at least.

Have fun! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Both previous episode and the one before it were much better IMHO.

Half of the show showing Veyron from different angles going past the camera wasn't that exciting (few times - that's ok, but for half an hour...) And rest of the show Jeremy's face behind the wheel talking in high-pitched over-excited voice was *yaaawn* booring.
They could tell soo much more interesting stuff about the car, rather than just praising it non-stop.

And why didn't they interview Nigel Mansell at their usual place?

yea, I was disapointed too, worst of series so far to be honest, though still quite good. the race was just dragged out with the same thing.

Mansell's lap was the highlight of the show for me! That was surprisingly fast.

The "race" was entertaining but nothing special. The endless external shots of the Veyron blasting past got pretty boring after the second or third time, it was a shame we didn't really get to see what it could do.

Edit: Beated to it about the Veyron race/shots, sorry, I typed it earlier and forgot to press "Submit" - just realised what I'd done when Firefox warned me about closing 2 tabs! Ah well.

Biblical.

... the Veyron, not the episode. Besides the Veyron and Nigel Mansell, the show was "just" average.

I wish they would have taken the Veyron to the track though, but who knows if they save that for the last episode?

[OT] Guys, keep in mind that this thread is here to discuss the latest episode not to talk about download speeds or the torrent in general. If you have technical problems or speed issues with the torrent, drop by the IRC channel or check the Problems section on this very board. [/OT]
