You need to download the episode, probably won't be on Channel 9 (the edited version) for at least a year.

Don't want to spoil it for anyone, I wasn't aware the 1st guest was an Aussie and he has some very good news.

Good episode. Eric Bana was top notch, and well Romania. "We are deep into Borat country now... That old Woman has an axe"

If the Lambo is largely carbon fibre, I'd have expected to see splintering on the collision, particularly if it was enough to bust the wiper bottle. I understand that Top Gear 'challenges' are largely staged but I didn't seem to see any damage to the front of the Lambo - unlike the Dacia.

Was I seeing things?

Funny how clarkson fails to mention he was in love the beast.
A top episode hope the rest of series 14 is on par.

Hi all

For those who downloaded the AVI version, did any of you have trouble with the sound. I downloaded it from eztv and watched it last night but the sound had to right up for me to hear it. I thought it might be a dodgy copy so I downloaded another copy later on and it was the same.

I see that xr8fella also had problems with the sound quality - so is it just a bad copy of do I need to update anything on my puter.

A spoiler warning would have been nice. I am not usually annoyed at people giving details of eps but I love TG and I am about to watch said episode now.

The
~300MB ones sound not so good, (this often has the volume prob u referring to)
~800MB prity good, like std tv,
~2000MB best ones I tried,

I'll get in early and call this the line of the series when reviewing the Twingo (Jeremy really made a mess of it, never seen them do a review quite like it..)

When you lend your car to your 17yr old son and he's going to be driving along in it and he's going to think... 'hmmm, if I pull this handbrake lever, all my girlfriend's clothes will fall off.'
