Finalgear.com but you would have to torrent it.

Not the best episode by a long way but there are worse ways to spend an hour.

I thought it was pretty funny. The party scene was funny when they tried to paint the rolls with model spitfire paint.

Im not sure if im allowed to post it here, so mods can remove this comment if necessary. The best place to watch it is streetfire. They always have very high HD versions

This was not their best special, but im glad either way that Topgear is back

I thought the funniest scene was when they wired the roll's horn to the brake lights...

I saw an episode last night where a guy was beating the crap out of a 911 GTS and the car loved it.
The driver said it's the best handling 911 ever.
No A/C,radio,sound proofing etc to keep the car light.
He even mentioned in the past some 911's having lead in the front bumper from the factory to get the front to back weight even for better handling.
The guy loved the GTS.
