In a union of kindred spirits, Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond travels to meet the man synonymous with daredevilry - Evel Knievel. A 70s icon who became a legend for repeatedly cheating death in 300 perilous Harley Davidson jumps, Knievel, who died on 30 November 2007 in Florida, shares with Hammond, who has himself cheated death, a genuine passion for stunts.

Hi,

So I'm a tad confused, did it actually get televised? Or did he only say it to the audience present?

I think he has a bit of a god complex, but I'm not going to miss a show.

"Clarkson, who is currently in Belfast filming for Top Gear in the city's new sewer system, could not be contacted for comment."

Especially not that one!

Cheers,
Nik

No, hes just dropped it in front of the studio audience. When it says he dropped it "Live" - live to 200-300 people. Woopdy-fucking-do.......

Im sure its not the worst thing hes said during filming.

Very funny episode this week.... (Episode 6)
Reminds me of the best of previous years...

Dinasours,
Brian Johnstone from ACDC...
The Midget that plays Holly in Red Dwarf....

Just downloading Eps1-6 @ 1.1MB/sec via Torrents, cheers for the heads up. Was watching Top Gear - Clarkson Supercars or something the other day, that was pretty nice.

The next and also the last for the series has the Aston V12 Vantage, can't wait!

Season 14 Ep 1 aired last night in the UK. Anyone got a torrent for it yet?

[url]http://www.finalgear.com/shows/topgear/14/[/url] :D

The link is on that page.. 720 rip done so far.

Thanks Muggz :D

I thought it was pretty good!
how good does the lambo sound!!

:( still downloading torrent. 17% done

Good ep!... Eric Bana was funny!

Can't believe Capt Slow pranged the Lambo... ;)

spoiler alert James!!!

Great ep, glad they are back as usual!

Hahah... Its hardly an important plot point Kym! ;)

Those of you who love Top Gear and haven't watched Season 14 Episode 6 yet, I suggest you try and 'obtain' it and watch it. Great episode! Possibly the best I've ever seen. And I've watched Season's 1 thru to 14, every episode.

Bugga, no chance of me being able to see it for 2 weeks, at work.
Must be good, because there has been some really good episodes (Ive seen them all too)

Ill second that, amazing episode!

Agreed... awesome episode!... :)

Also agree. Definately one of the best specials they have done.

Also in the news was the confirmation that TG UK as well as TG Aus have moved to 9.
So this current UK season will be shown on 9 locally.

Any idea if Ep6 was the end of the current season? They seem to be doing shorter and shorter seasons. Traditionally the special after Christmas is the last of the season.

Edit : Found the answer to my own Q on [url]www.finalgear.com[/url]. [B]Next ep Jan 3rd.[/B]

nope there should be a 7th episode according to wikipedia

last ep aired on Sunday... although it was pre-recorded in December...

Good episode(although May's video was ridiculously boring!), great season! Look forward to season 15 mid-year! :D

The season is 14 eps long however they split them in 2 so the next 7 wont be till later in the year sometime.

Love how Clarkson went all over the world and pulled the piss out of the BMW X6.

The Lexus LFA is once HOT looking sports car with full Digital Computer game style Gauges.

Yeah that Lexus was hot as! but for 300k+ pounds... I think i'd take a lambo or a ferrari!

I have finally got around to downloading the torrent of Ep6 special in bolivia. But it is an MKV file. VLC isnt running it properly (keeps jumping frames and pixelating). I am currently using VLC 1.0.1, but am downloading 1.0.5 to see if that makes a difference.

Anyone know of something better to play this file type with?
Or software to convert MKV to AVI?

Could be a 720P file you downloaded.

Would explain the jumpy frames if your CPU isnt fast enough to handle playing high resolution video?

I use Divx 7 to convert my MKV files or Xilisoft convertor ultimate but I'm buying a Western Digital media player this week so you can play any format file from your pc, external HD or even thumbdrive straight through your tv.

Office works has it the cheapest at $149 but dont get the cheaper mini one as it doesn't play MKV.
