Gee guys, if you really needed it you should have just asked earlier. It only took me a few clicks and Universal Explorer.exe generated a notepad file of the contents of my TopGear folder. UE is a great program, it was so easy.

Thanks for that but come to think of it, I won't use the dates for "Best of.." episodes. No need really as just the year number is really nessesary for those however if someone knows the air date for the 2002 series please let me know just for records sake.

[Buktu]

Could someone tell me where to find the episodes from the beginning of the new show ([01x01]) onto [03x01]? Because all those shows arent on finalgear.com. Which kinda annoys me.. :/ I would really like to see the first shows of the new series, being a rather new Top Gear fan

[SL65]

You can find the early episodes of Top Gear on some of the various FTP's that are up and running in the Video Offers section of the forum.

If you don't know how to "FTP", you should read this guide I made

http://forum.finalgear.com/viewtopic.php?t=8663

[ESPNSTI]

If we assume that Top Gear did two series per year since it started (in 1977) and that the 1989 episodes are from series two of that year then those 1989 episodes would be series 26 of Classic Top Gear.

Link added to tg guide page

[SL65]

>>Update 15/12/05<<


- Added [07x05] & [07x06] to the list.
- Inserted flashing "New" signs in which looks cool

[SL65]

>>Update 5/1/06<<

- Added the "Best of 2005" episode that'll air this Sunday (and be ripped).
- Added Pumesta's most recent classic TG release: [00x39]
- Made the episode guides listed there actual links aswell. More helpfull that way
- Put the "Best of..." episodes air dates in.

Best of 2002 was a guess...someone help me with that!!

[SL65]

>>Update 13/1/06<<

- Added Pumesta's most recent classic TG release's: [00x40], [00x41], 00x42] & [00x43].
- Seperated all the non "air date" related stuff under a title called "Extras"
- Included in those Extras is a TG logo & the TG bloopers

I still need the "Best of 2002" TG air date however. I remember the air date being on Tweeke's FTP but the filename changed. If you have it, let me know. Right now its just a calculated guess. Everything else is accurate.

[mojo_786]

- Removed [05x03] 2004.11.05 cos it doesn't exist lol and replaced with appropriate date
- Added new HTML, MBD & DOC guides

[Hazardous]

A bit of guesswork here, regarding to the old episodes and their air dates...

Both 1990 and 1991 series include "Rally Specials" which feature the Lombard RAC Rallies of those years. In 1990 the RAC was held on November 25th to 28th and in 1991 from November 24th to 28th.

Now, assuming that back then Top Gear aired on sundays and did so weekly, you could get pretty accurate dates from that. IIRC the Rally Specials were aired on the final day of the event, but it could be with one week delay as well.

[KryptonZone]

Impressive!

[EsCoBaR]

Nice work man!

[SL65]

>>Update 11/03/06<<

- Added Pumesta's most recent classic TG releases: [00x51], [00x52] & [00x58]
- Added the Winter Olympics special [08x00]

Note that not all 1992 TG episodes were captured (only 7). Also note that Pumesta accidently torrented 1993 Ep 8 a bit early but that has been factored into the filename system assuming he torrents the episodes before that.
