I thought James' Porsche looked really good. I wonder if it's worthwhile at all to buy a cheap Porsche like that and basically rebuild the whole thing.

Audio was a bit out of sync, but otherwise the episode was excellent. The Porsche bit was the funniest Top Gear episode ever images/smilies/wink.gif

The used Porsche contest was hilarious, definitely a step up from the 100-quid used car contest. I almost fell off my chair when they were told to sell their cars images/smilies/lol.gif And ditto on Jame's car, it looked pretty good. Also I was literally clapping my hands for the 2:02 lap

any of the people that are getting audio want to suggest a player where I can watch this? Even BS player which usually gets everything isn't getting it.

I thought I was the only one who noticed the audio problems that started midway through the Harry Web interview.

See, even without supercars Top Gear can be a brilliant show. The blind driver segment does nothing but make you feel good, and the Porsche segment was hilarious!

I've been following this site since last November so I feel obligated to stay loyal to Viper and VUK and wait patiently for their rips, without resorting to UKnova. I'm greatful enough that they can provide us with these shows for free and set up a forum base where everyone can share videos freely.

That was a pretty good and funny episode, and a real good one considering what kind of cars were presented. images/smilies/smile.gif

Umm, A - your computer is screwed up as it plays audio just fine for me. images/smilies/tongue.gif

B - the only issue may be a slight audio mis-sync near the end. Seed until it's determined if it's a bad rip or not please. I'm about to go watch it now to see.
