Where do you see Top Gear? 5th Gear is on the lifestyle channel on foxtel. Or at least it was, it hasn't been on lately. I've heard a lot about Top Gear, but never actually seen it.

I'll download it if I have to but is it on any channel on Foxtel or Free-to-air?

5th Gear can be a bit boring sometimes but the last one I saw was good. Had Porsche vs. Porsche and Lamborgini Gallardo vs. Ducati. The crash tests are usually good as well. I think the boring parts are usually the non-performance stuff. Like when they road tested different fuel efficient cars, or some bloody people-mover.

Top gear is on BBC World on foxtel but at random times. It's also a heavily cut down version of the one the BBC shows in the UK.

I watch Top Gear by downloading the full length episodes from usenet.

I already posted this on the Arial Atom thread, but for Top Gear fans Final Gear have some classic Top Gear episodes (1989-90) for download if you're interested.

Yeah ive been going throught them. Very interesting to see the old reviews... 1990 episode 7 - Tiff Needle gets show how to do the scandinavian flick in a rally car - this may be the first epsiode where tiff learns to go side ways... and now look at him... all he does is go sideways.

Also in the season of fifth gear episode 2 tiff drives a williams f1... man he was nervous and excited

Bring on more topgear and fifth gear

Funny - Im currently downloading and watching Top Gear episodes from 1989 and 1990. Im hoping ill run across a 1989 episode where they review the R32 GTR...

It seems to be more looking at auctions, car tips etc and then there is reviewing of the cars... it would be very interesting to see what they thought back then.

Episodes 3 is up.

It will be interesting to see if Clarkson's back holds up for the next season as by the end of the last he could hardly walk!!

What about the car 5th gear give away as prizes everyweek?? They are damn nice, and the answer to the multiply answer questions is always the same for the whole season :)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
