it's funny because when it was on tv here nobody was home whenever it was on. i would remember trying to catch it but no matter what i wouldn't be home in time. i guess torrenting it makes it just that much more special. images/smilies/happy.gif

FYI: this has been known for quite a while. Even BBC News has reported on how much it's warezed. images/smilies/wink.gif

I would watch it legally on BBC America but I don't get that channel in my area even with IO(Cablevision). So my only way to enjoy Top Gear is either youtube which gets deleted or Final Gear(with great quality).

I know it has been mentioned many times before, but it still amazes me that the poky little car show from England is so popular.

Now I personally have never met another person who has heard about it so I am not sure how all of these people turn on to it or where they are.

I wear my stig shirt anytime I am going to be with a large group of people and it is approp just hoping for one day someone will know about tg. I have even worn it on cruise ships where there are usually some british people and not once have I been asked about my shirt, except of course to ask who "that" is or what is a stig.

7) So You Think You Can Dance.....really?

Good to see Colbert and Stewart up there though, Weeds is brilliant too.

nouseferaname90 · July 23rd, 2008, 06:55 AM

Its downloaded because the bbc doesnt care about the downloading....that and the fact that its an amazing show.

Does it state that you are the sting, by chance?
And if it does, would an appropriate pick up line be, does your nipple really look like the nurburbring, can I see it?
