Screw YouTube - get the torrent files for every FULL episode of TopGear UK, Top Gear Australia, and Fifth Gear UK at www.finalgear.com

The files you download look great when played back full screen on a 32" flatscreen, and the sound is excellent. Why watch something that good on a crappy, pixilated YouTube clip?

For those that haven't watched yet, the Top Gear team takes a 3,800 lb front-wheel drive mpv and try to make it as fast as an Evo X around the Top Gear Track using just bolt-ons:

1. A 33% increase in horsepower
2. $6000 brakes
3. full coilover suspension
4. full suspension tune
5. removing all the seats from the car and replacing with carbon fiber racing seats.

The result is...well...you just have to watch
