Recently stumbled on "The perfect Road Trip" & "50 Years of cars in Bond Films"....

Looks like all 20 seasons will be qued up for downloading !

Query - Does seasons like 1 to 9 are available in HD ?

Nope the initial seasons were all shot in standard definition as HD cameras didn't exist. So no HD copy is available. BBC only moved TG to HD once HD was mainstream.
 
Yup, yesterday i was searching for the torrent on Ahem site and not all seasons were in HD...

Currently downloading in descending order.
 
I missed the " The Perfect Road Trip 2" DVD release, so just updating now with the trailer.



Also, Season 22 will begin on 27th December with two-part Patagonia special airing back to back on 27th and 28th December :)

 
6/10 from me. Pretty disappointing for me. They couldn't do what they had set out to do. They seemed to have fallen into a similar pattern over the last few specials, maybe they should try out something different.
 
I believe if the situation was as grizzly as they picturised it, they wouldn't have allowed people to get out from there with cameras, they would have relieved them of the cams and tapes.
 
Is Argentina so sparsely populated??
I don't remember any other civilized country shown in Top Gear which was this empty(Not even Africa was this empty!!!!!)

But anyways I find that the staged car repairs(obviously carried out by the troop of support staff) are getting a bit obvious now.
How could Jeremy fix the Porsche which even James and Hamster(who ends up doing quite a bit of repair work on his own on every trip of this type) weren't confident about.

It has become very obvious that the repairs are overhyped, even with a blowtorch no one could have fixed that stuff.. I think they have lots of spares; specifically for the cars they are driving, with them in the convoy.
 
Pretty disappointed with both the Patagonia Special and The perfect Road trip 2.

Also I think Jeremy chose the number plate on purpose. Had it been James May I could have believed that it was a mistake but Jeremy loves to stir up the pot. Had he got away with it he would be gloating but since he and the crew didn't they say it was a mistake.

They should really replace Hammond with someone else. The jokes of him choosing the worse car and getting owned in every occasion is getting really really old.

On a side note -
I would like to see Tiff make a comeback on Top gear. Him vs Stig would be awesome but stig would win eventually. These guys really can't push the cars they drive.

also heard the fifth gear has been wrapped up so tiff might come in here.
 
@Superbad - Just looked up wikipedia and it seems fifth gear didn't shoot a single episode in 2014. I hope Tiff is added to the Top Gear roster.

They should replace Hammond with Sabine Schmitz. She is fun and a good driver and nearly beat Jeremy in a van.
