Great shoot out between Jezza and Sabine in R56 JCWs. Both a wacky autocross obstacle course and head-to-head track race. I think you can guess who won, but fun anyway. The whole UK vs Germany segment was actually quite good.

Definitely worth a download.

 

:( I miss that show, use to be on my on demand everytime a new show came on but they took it off, now I got to find it on bbc america. Were can you watch that show online?

 

The on demand shows are at least a season old, and hacked to bits to fit the US time slots. www.finalgear.com

 

Haha I loved this episode...too bad it will be a while until another one comes out

 

Ummm, link please

 

Love the mini autocross action

here's a link to the video. ENJOY!! ( i know i did )

 

Ummm, no Mini in that video

 

that's the link to the entire episode. click on the next part (2,3,4,5,6,7). The part with the MINI is maybe 6 or 7.

 

Stig is Jr.

I enjoy Top Gear. Always on the watch for MINIs on there.

This season was disappointing after the awesome seasons 9 and 10, but this last episode was the the best of the 'series' (why they call them 'series' instead of seasons is beyond me... one of those British quirks). It didn't hurt that there were MINIs featured.

I'm fairly certain that they were both MINI Cooper S models with the JCW Performance Kit installed, and not factory MINI JCWs. Sabine's had the JCW aero kit installed as well.

 

There was still some great moments this season, but it didn't seem as 'epic' as other seasons, although I did enjoy the bullet train race...

And we call it a "series" because that's what it is!

i just saw the cooper and i was like S!!!! OMG OMG OMG

then they had a JCW and i was like WOOORRRKKKSSS

that was an awesome challenge.... does that formula 1 vanquish give anyone ideas or is it just me...

 

No you didn't.

 

Yeah, the bullet train race was excellent.

It's just one of those semantic differences between North America and the U.K. Over here, a 'series' refers to all episodes of a particular show from all years (i.e. a television series), whereas a season refers to all episodes of a particular, well, season. The first time I watched a full season of Top Gear, and at the end of the episode Jeremy said "Well, that's the end of the episode and, indeed, the end of the series!", I just about had a heart attack. When a series reaches its end over here it isn't coming back next season.

 

I don't know which link it was, but one of them gave my computer a bunch of pop ups! That sucks!!!!

 

it was definatly an unfair race being that it was between an S and a JCW, but I was suprised at how well the S hung with the JCW.

 

look very closely, i didn't catch it at first but look at a high res picture and you will see they are both works car (the only indication on jeremy's car is only on the grille)

sabine just had more toys i think, like the awesome recaro CS

 

That was just unfair pitting a stubborn old man against someone with racing experience The real impressive part was the STIG at the end there. Catching up to a touring car driver that fast.

 

i'll have to re watch it... oh darn. haha thanks for the good excuse.

Yeah the Stig is freakin awesome.

 

as much as i love the stig and that show... you have to admit some of it is staged... in the event that that race wasnt... good for the stig.

 

You can pick up torrents for Top Gear and 5th Gear here.

 

Thanks for posting... I love the stig.
