A rip by a Scene group came outta nowhere today, so I’ve torrented it up and it’s available now.

Still no release by the Scene yet, but we’re hopeful they’ll catch the re-airing on Sunday and release it then. If not, we’ll use one of the various other rips available made by random fans (they very greatly in size and quality, so I’m holding off for now).

If you can’t wait, you have two choices:

1. Snag one of those random rips off Mininova (note that the 11×03 one that comes up in that search is over a year old)
2. Stream the episode’s segments on Fifth Gear’s website

If you go the Fifth Gear website route, you can also watch Tom talking about the next episode.

Just a status update: no rip has been put by the Scene yet which means no release for us. I’ll keep you updated though.

Yep, we’re up to season 7 now. This was the season with the gang heading to southern France and the cheap Italian supercar challenge.

As usual, please try and keep seeding until you get to at least a 1.00 ratio to help others out.

SBS is now starting to take applications for tickets at their website. If you’re in or around Sydney and over the age of 18, go register.

EDIT: Did I seriously just use “queue” instead of “line”? I really do watch too much Top Gear…

Besides having segments from the show, Fifth Gear’s website also features a few behind the scenes clips including outtakes.

Their latest clip is an outtake (I assume, I don’t know if it’ll make the airing) from this coming Monday’s episode. In the clip, Tom tests out the new Honda Accord’s bluetooth capabilities by prank calling Jonny. If you’re bored at work (or even if you’re not), it’s worth a watch.

Thanks to ahpadt for the tip.

High quality 700MB rips of Top Gear season 6 are now available for download. As usual, please try and keep seeding to at least a 1.00 ratio when you get done downloading in order to help other people out.

The British Prime Minister’s office has responded to the petition to “make Jeremy Clarkson Prime Minister”:

We thought long and hard about the request to make Jeremy Clarkson the Prime Minister and in the end we put our thoughts down in a short film on YouTube. You can take a look here

Thanks to everyone that sent in tips!

BBC Worldwide has posted Top Gear clips to YouTube before, but now Top Gear has it’s own YouTube channel. It features more clips including ones from Jeremy Clarkson’s Extreme Machines, Jeremy Clarkson’s Motorworld, a bunch from Top Gear of course, and more. They are also all available in high quality.

While of course nothing beats watching full episodes, having clips and segments available on YouTube is a great way to spread the word and share the magnificence that is Top Gear.

Here’s a short message from Mikey Harvey, editor of Top Gear Magazine, discussing the new channel and it’s content:

Today’s Fifth Gear is now available.
