Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 237    |  New Top Gear Site @ BBC.co.uk It was pointed out here and I didn't see a thread on it (did I miss it?), so thought I'd make a new thread just for it. Check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/. There's an all new site there, including what looks to be a stream of the entire episode! However, it's for UK residents only for obvious legal resons, so I can't view it to see the quality. Lots of new clips and other stuff too it looks like.  Well done, webmaster-dude!

Car: Currently the Belgian bus + Saving the environment Rep Power: 18  | Totally awesome look! Love the dark turquois-y colour scheme, same for the wallpaper. Looks stylish! And the Veyron clip is on there! Woop! I don't have to send the 350mb clip through messenger for my mates if they want to watch (yes, half of them have no idea what "torrent" is... or "eMule" for that matter; I think they think it is some kind of donkey?!) |

Car: Toyota MR2 Mk1, Toyota MR2 Mk1 SC, Peugeot 309 Rep Power: 19 | Yeah - the new site is much improved and very nice!  As for the videos, they're not bad actually. I sat and watched the £100 car challenges (the one where they had to crash them into a wall at 30mph) streamed from the new site. I watched it in fullscreen, and actually it wasn't bad. Obviously not as good as other sources I may have (ahem) but pretty good for web streamed video. Just a shame it's realplayer...
__________________ Yup, two too many cars, but I love 'em: 1991 Peugeot 309 - owned it for four years, currently the only runner and the daily driver... but great fun to drive! French though, so gotta treat her rough to keep her happy. 1989 Toyota MR2 Mk1 - owned it for two years. Love it loads. Currently undergoing a suspension upgrade... 1987 Toyota MR2 Mk1 SC - A project car that had Headgasket issues when I bought it. I've never driven it... yet... |

Rep Power: 15 | I think TG and the beeb must've clocked on to how popular TG torrent downloads are getting and decided they need to do something about it. Also I think recently the BBC have really pushed forward the whole idea of being able to stream and watch programs from their site, so this could be the future for all BBC programming |
