    I hate Channel 9!!

    They've just aired episode 5 of season 15.

    In this episode they race a Toureg, max a Veyron SS, talk to Cameron Diaz and a scientology enthusiast and do a memorial for Ayrton Senna where Louis Hamilton drives his Malboro McLaren.

    Which one of these films do they cut from a car show, made for car enturiasts? Yes thats right the one where the current F1 hero drives the all time F1 heroes best car.

    What chump did they put in charge of making that desicion. D*ckheads!!!

    finalgear.com and a ftp download will fix it up for you. Lewis in Ayrton's MP4 was pretty bloody special.

    This has been happening for ages.
    If you get them online you get the whole episode and you get it 3-4 weeks in advance.

    Channel 9 are stupid for cutting out parts of topgear.
    Sure they need advertising but you lose most of the fanbase by cutting out so much of the show.
    They had the Japan special on a few weeks ago adn they cut out half the race so you just got 3 5 minute segments that were all disjointed.
    If anything they should cut the star in a resonably priced car segment as they are 90% brittish tv stars that have no relevance to Australia.

    People still watch Channel 9? I saw that episode over 4 weeks ago when it actually came out, full length uncut, no ads...

    You are all sort of missing the point. If you can download it, great, excellent work.

    But Top Gear is an entertainment show but based around cars and they way it has been cut and manipulated by Channel 9 means it has been ruined for those who are genuinely interested in watching a show about cars. There are tonnes of shows about celebrities and their activities but only one genuine car show on normal telly. And they ruined it by cutting out this segment.

    My father in law for example doesn't know how to read an email but loves cars and enjoys Top Gear, so he watches it on TV, but he has missed out because of their misguided representation of the show.

    I just don't understand why they did it. It normally runs untill 9pm but for some weird reason they finished it at 8.40pm. Why not show it in full?

    And despite my woeful internet contract i've just downloaded it. Ayrton Senna was my hero as a boy, so i gotta watch it.
