Just a quick note to say that for a variety of reasons, including Top Gear America not being picked up, the US portal on TopGear.com now redirects to a great new Top Gear website located at BBCAmerica.com. Worth checking out if for no reason other than to see when the next episode of Top Gear airs on BBC America.

A Trip Down Memory Lane: Old Top Gear
Posted August 6th, 2009 at 19:512009-08-06T19:51:05ZF jS, Y \a\t H:i by Viper007Bond in Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear
Ever wonder what Top Gear was like back in the day? No, I’m not talking about it’s reboot in 2002 — I’m talking about the old format. It started out in 1977 as a relatively boring automotive show:
However things really started to pick up in 1988 when Clarkson and his hair joined the show:
Sadly not many rips of old Top Gear exist, although we do have some on our forums. Don’t go in expecting the current format of Top Gear though as you’ll be disappointed.

Top Gear Is NOT DEAD, Stop Over-Analyzing
Posted August 3rd, 2009 at 17:472009-08-03T17:47:12ZF jS, Y \a\t H:i by Viper007Bond in Top Gear
Many people have been over-analyzing the last segment of the latest Top Gear episode and have come to the conclusion that Top Gear is dead. Well it’s not:
Remember that episode of I’m Alan Partridge in which Norfolk’s favourite light broadcaster makes a ‘humourous intro to a song’ which accidentally suggests that the Queen is dead, something he later realises has ‘been taken a bit too literally by one or two listeners… and a newspaper’.
Something similar seems to have happened after the poignant Aston Martin film that closed the current series of Top Gear.
The Twitterers (or, if you’re David Cameron, the Twatterers) have gone nuts with speculation that Jeremy was not forecasting the end of V12 wonders like the Aston; he was prophesising the demise of Top Gear itself.
So, just to clear up once and for all, Top Gear is NOT DEAD. Unless it went in the night and has yet to be discovered by the maid…
Ha! Not really. See you in November.
Now please stop making threads on our forums asking if Top Gear is dead. It’s really annoying.

If you were looking to download the Polar Special in 1080p but were unable to as the torrent had been pruned from Mininova, well then you’ll be happy to know that the torrent is available again.
And before you ask, this Top Gear in HD was a one-time thing. It was the only episode of Top Gear to ever be broadcast in HD sadly.
