Fifth Gear

Latest one was a good laugh.

Tiff Nedell at the UK launch of GT4 - in a hotel with ORIGINAL cars as raced in the game on show and it looked like people could climb in and out - DAMN
best part was him getting his ass whipped by Kazunori - the developer

Also interesting snippet on the A1GP cars with that prat Plato.
Making out like he has a CLUE what an F1 car is like to drive.
What a plonker.
Clearly the Sheik Macktoum of Dubai is sinking a LOT of money into the track and the cars and enjoys pushing cars around the track himself - Plato made it out that the Sheik is often out on track in his CATERHAM ( an interesting choice for a man who COULD afford ANY car in the world to chose to drive )
The cars look so-so, the rear wing looks like a 70s affair and I don't see it taking off as - other than the Sheikh's money - it seems not a match to F3000.

Still worth a watch if you get the chance !!

This is pretty much on topic...
Does anyone know where to get 5th/Top Gear Episodes online? now that viper007bond's site is down i don't know where to look. Plus I was wondering when Top Gear started their new season, i was thinking it was in April, right?

Fifth Gear:
10 mins adverts/ competition
10 mins about the socio-economic conditions in Dubai
10 mins playing a computer game

That's the half hour up then. Where are the cars?

www.bittorrent.com a d dowload one of the clients - or do a google, there are lots of different ones out there.
I still stick with ABC.
Install it and then when you click on a bittorrent link it will automatically load the torrent details to the client adn start the sharing.
BE AWARE, that you are SHARING with bit-torrents. So your ISP may monitor your usage and report you to the authorities for illegal music/video/film/file sharing
