I've seen both of the episodes and I'll be searching on sunday for the third. I really wish BBC america would show the episodes over here when they are shown in the UK.
A Top Gear forum, FinalGear, always has a good torrent upload of the new episode up about an hour after the UK showing (roughly 4pm eastern time).
BTW, the person who is shown as the stig (don't want to ruin it for others) isn't the actual stig. Jeremy hints at that in episode two.
Also, I went on Top Gear's website to view the bloopers and behind the scenes stuff for the first two episodes and they've blocked any region outside of the UK from viewing. I didn't have that problem during last season. Anyone know of a way around this? It's really pissing me off.

theyll have the ZR1 vs the new V10 R8 later. it was in the preview of the season. you gotta dig around the internet to find the episodes, but streetfire has ep 1 & ep 2 in decent quality. i saw the new one (ep 3, from today) on youtube. ken block was sweeeet.

It airs on Sundays in Britain. The only way to get it in the States is to download it.

It is on on Sundays here! but I still keep missing it, I know it gets repeated during the week on BBC2 & Dave channels don't know if you guys get any of those?
Can you not watch episodes off the Top Gear website?

Nope you can't! just video clips by the look of it.

The official top gear site that has clips pertaining to the new season is: Topgear.com/uk
The Topgear.com/us only has stuff up to season 12, because season 13 hasn't aired in the US yet.

cool, i see it on BBC America all the time, I would just like to catch when it actually airs, although I guess it doesn't matter since it's still replayed during the week.

What you're seeing is old episodes from seasons 9, 10, and 11. Every now and then they'll play an episode from season 12. Season 13 is airing right now in the UK, but it won't air State-side for another 6 months or so.

like i said before, just search on streetfire for the episodes. like for instance, search "top gear season 13 episode" and add whatever number you want to see. so far in season 13, 5 episodes have aired. theres 2 left. it airs sunday night in the UK, about 2pm my time here in STL (central time) and every sunday night around 7 or 8 i will use that search i mentioned and watch one of the 2, 3, 4, or mroe uploads. if you want to watch it real quick, right after its done airing (3pm CT over here) wait about an hour and it will be on youtube, but it will get taken down quickly. if youd like to d/l it, finalgear.com is where you get all the rips.
btw, last sunday's episode was the most disappointing episode this season. but the last episode on the season is giong to be great from what the spoilers are saying. greatttt cars (one in particluar) and a greattttt guest.

No ZR1/R8 v10 comparo? I'm disappointed. It was clearly shown in the preview in the first episode. Hopefully it's in the next series and the ZR1 does a lap of the track on a nice dry day.

yeah i read the spoilers on finalgear last week and saw that we wouldnt get an R8 vs ZR1 race. i was pissssed. oh well, the winter series is always better than the summer, so maybe thats how theyll kick it off. i heard they had too much to cram in, but jay leno + zr1 woulda been great.
i thought it was a great final episode for the series anyways, although i wanted to see more of than v12 vantage. :drool: felt like old top gear with the power tests on the maloo & vxr8 bathurst or whatever & the cool wall with no challenge. i liked when the challenges were a once every 3 or 4 episode kinda thing, made them more special. oh well, id give the series an 7.5 or an 8 since there were a few let downs in the latter part of the series.....and Usain Bolt was the most random, unnessecary guest ever.

I wish they would cut back on the 'star in a resonably priced car' segment, especially since us americans hardly ever know those british 'stars' lol have it in every other episode or somin.

That ending was almost depressing. It felt like there wouldn't be any more Top Gear coming out. :cry:

Oh, the Bathurst VXR sounded GREAT! And they packed again in this season a lot of great shots and music.
Can't wait for the new series...

next season should have plenty of really badass cars out....hopefully the 2010 camaro is one. they did the old 2005+ stangs. and i have a feeling the cts-v and challenger will make it back to TG for a lap run, not too mention the zr1 which was supposed to be on in s13

So is the stig really Shummacher or what?

I think they use more than one stig.

Three, as far as I know. The black Stig, the white Stig (both are revealed, but don't look it up...it's like finding out as a Kid that the Easterrabbit doesn't exist) and M. Schuhmacher. And of course Stigs african brother, his american cousin and the truckdriving cousin etc..
