What number series is it? Takes a while for them to make it over to BBC America.

Very jealous. I have been going through Top Gear withdrawal. Slow-ass BBC America.

Even better...they have a 760 on the first episode of the season!

And you see an S63/760 drag race. :P

264 according to Google, but BBC America is always a few seasons behind. Seasons/episodes are not aired in the U.S. at the same time as the U.K. and other countries. You'll have to get this via other methods until BBC America starts airing season 14.

BBC America butchers the show. Remember in the UK it is a 60minute show - no commercials. On BBC America, they cut 20 mins out of each episode for ads.

As someone else said, download it (and rival 5th Gear) from www.finalgear.com You will need a torrent client - I use utorrent at www.utorrent.com

It will be up within hours of the show ending - actually, episode 1 is up: http://www.mininova.org/tor/3154054

Can't wait.

Agreed. Seven-episode Top Gear seasons should be illegal.

It's so Clarkson can put out DVDs in his off time.

Not surprising the 760 proved to be the quickest on the track but was suprised just how wayward it was in comparison to the S63. When Stiggie has his work cut out controlling it's tail you know it's not something to be messed with and best to leave that little button marked 'DSC' the hell alone.
