YES! I was wondering how long before the torrent was available.

Fuckin righteous. I went and sprang for a 1 TB hard drive so I'll download this once I get it workin.

[ironchef]

I really don't think MS was/is The Stig. Maybe for that one test because they had the FXX. I'm sure Ferrari wouldn't want anyone not associated with Ferrari to drive it.

Is there an episode summary for this one?

Is there an episode summary for this one?

In this episode:

The boys race from London to Edinburgh as if it were 60 years ago using the fastest types of transport at the time — a Jaguar XK120, a Vincent Black Shadow motorcycle, and a Peppercorn A1 Class Tornado steam train
Jeremy drives what is perhaps the most comfortable supercar ever — the Lotus Evora
The Stig takes the Ferrari FXX around the test track. Will it be the fastest car on the leaderboard?
SIARPC: The Stig

That episode was badass.

How does one go about watching a bit torrent VLC doesn't like it very much. :(

[Revmaynard]

I used Windows Media.

[NewGen33]

weird I tried vlc, windows media, then I went to lime wire chose open torrent now it like it downloading the file again :thinking:

That was a nice episode. I love that Lotus, but I bet it sucks to work on that thing unless there is some way to get the fenders off easily to access the engine.

I also don't think MS is the real Stig. It's just a little too strange that they test the FXX and he also reveals himself at the same time.

First off, 10/10 for me. I love how motorbikes are slowly coming into the Top Gear world. The Black Shadow was the best bike of its day. Jeremy throughout the train ride was hilarious. In fact everyone's performance showed why this is the best show on earth.

I really like the Evora as the idea of a 4 seater mid engined car is genius. I also realize Lotus is a chassis company and i remember when Elises were lugging around Rover 4s so using Toyota mills is a breath of fresh air.

Now......Top Gear noobs, i'll explain Michael.

We all know how in the past few months the press has gone crazy with trying to reveal the Stig. The are correct in that most of the time, it is Ben Collins but it is not always Ben Collins. For example, the Renault F1 car was driven by Heikki Kovelianen.

For today's show, Top Gear used Michael to say "Shut up already" to the media.

The FXX.....it was gifted to Michael for his ten years at Scuderia Ferrari and the car he drove was the exact one gifted to him.

Currently, Michael works as part of the current Ferrari F1 team's brain trust. He is a team advisory to the drivers. So.. as a Ferrari and Fiat rep, he isn't allowed to be seen in anything but Fiat products on TV in the same way Lewis Hamilton has to be in Mercedes vehicles.

Schumi can't drive the Liana because it is not a Fiat product. So yes, Schumi is one Stig (the fastest and greatest one there is). But there are others.

that fxx was insane on the track..

[BB1_Luda]

I know.
I loved that.

That steam engine was crazy. Wheel spin at 70mph, hahah nuts.

I was the stig for one episode :ninja:

[NewGen33]

Got it to work had to DL it through lime wire. Don't know why watching it now. :goodjob:

[VooDooXII]

It's good to see the boys back, but I can't help but feel like this episode was sort of..."rushed."

Still great fun though, and it looks like it only gets better during the rest of the series.

Can't wait!

[NewGen33]

Simply one of the best episodes I've seen

[awestun]

I'm waiting for episode 2 next week.

I'd have to disagree with you there because I believe they spent a good bit of time to do it big for the season premiere.

I mean...they had Jezza covered in soot. A classic race with even classier cars. Ferrari FXX making a new record lap time. Revealing one of the Stigs: Michael Schumacher. The Lotus Evora dancing around the track like a professional ballerina.

It was probably one of the best episodes of Top Gear I've seen yet.

[Elbow]

FXX = fast! Anyone time them at Road Atlanta at FC?

NO WAY ON THE STIG haha that's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
