Although a bit late (it aired on 12th April, ok so quite late), those of us who don’t understand Russian will always wait for the subbed version.
Enjoy the episode and discuss it here.

Top Gear Now Available For Purchase On Xbox LIVE Marketplace

Posted May 30th, 2009 at 02:502009-05-30T02:50:31ZF jS, Y \a\t H:i by Viper007Bond in Top Gear
Starting yesterday, you can now purchase Top Gear episodes from seasons 10, 11, and 12 directly from your Xbox 360. Each episode costs 160 points (US$2) and is about 570MB. They of course feature replaced music (they have to due to licensing terms), however season 12 has no content cut (each episode is 60 minutes long). Sadly seasons 10 and 11 have about 10 minutes cut per episode (usually the news and the SIARPC).
For details, visit the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Top Gear Australia 02×01 Finally Released

Posted May 12th, 2009 at 03:592009-05-12T03:59:48ZF jS, Y \a\t H:i by Viper007Bond in Top Gear Australia
Oh what a day. It started with the Scene releasing the rip 15 minutes after I went to bed (I had stayed up hours waiting for a release) and culminated with Mininova’s new content filter sticking our torrent in the moderation queue where’s it’s been now for hours.
Luckily the guys over at EZTV are awesome and we are happy to announce that we will be teaming up with them in the future. In addition to merging torrents (that means more seeders for both of us), they will be hosting our .torrent files for us as well.
Our site will need some reworking in order to link to the torrents hosted by EZTV rather than Mininova, so here’s a manual link for now: http://f.zoink.it/4a08e4ed
Update: After more than 12 hours, Mininova finally approved the torrent. You can find it right here.

Andy Weighs In On Women On Top Gear

Posted May 4th, 2009 at 05:172009-05-04T05:17:09ZF jS, Y \a\t H:i by Viper007Bond in Andy Wilman, Top Gear
As you may or may not have heard, there are currently some controversial laws being implemented in the UK:
State-funded organisations are being ordered to boost the proportion of female, black and gay staff to reflect the make-up of the UK population under plans unveiled by Labour’s deputy leader Harriet Harman.
This could potentially mean that Top Gear would have to introduce a female host as the law doesn’t have an exclusion for broadcasters. Top Gear’s executive producer Andy Wilman wrote his opinions about that particular potential change in a recent blog post:
I also do believe that this sort of claptrap is very patronising to women, because it assumes women can’t enjoy a show’s presenters on merit, but can only appreciate a programme if spoken to by one of their own sex.
His post in full is worth a read.
