Hi images/smilies/smile.gif
I do not wish to flame or anything, but I would recommend justin syder to remove his Bush Chaney '04-banner, as this may provoke, or already have provoked, some kind of political arguements that does not suit this site very well.. We have already seen how certain people can go on and on and on about small issues (*cough, cough, geek, cough*)

I would also say thanks to ESPNSTI for organizing the list of Clarkson-related shows images/smilies/biggrin.gif

hey everyone.. don't waste your time arguing about it...

www.torrentsearch.us

look for

HOT METAL

SHOOTOUT

and I have seen people complaining about Japanese ONLY language Best Motoring

do a search for BEST MOTORING INTERNATIONAL

done and enjoy...

Best Motoring has SUPERCAR battles that absolutely rock, and they place cars on the grid based on laptimes and not opinions. If you want to see some great automobile shows, definitely check out all the above.

I love Top Gear and Fifth Gear as well, but (don't flame me too much), far less BIAS in how they test their cars on Best Motoring. They aren't afraid to say something like "We have put in this super modified Nissan Skyline that is making 600bhp, but around the track this JDM (Japan Domestic Model, stands no chance in a race around the track with a Ferrari F50" (not that there is any comparison.

I haven't seen any Hot Version volumes in English, but I believe that all you car vid nuts will enjoy the TOUGE challenges that are in the Best Motoring International Shows.

Look for Drift King too.. it rocks.

Not over $2!

That's dirt cheap compared to over here! We're on about 80p a litre, you're on about 25p.

As a note, his earlier video releases are now availble on DVD from a few selected websites. A box set for all 4 of the previously unreleased DVDs are available for £27.99.

Yeah, go to www.dukevideo.co.uk and search for Clarkson. www.play.com also have them but at £14.99 each they are a bit more expensive. Might want to edit the list at the start of this thread images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Default Fix Shootout

Had the same problem when I downloaded Shootout (from the Betacars site) ... download a trial version of the program Video Fixer (don't know the Web site for it, just google it) and that'll get you back up and running.
