    except Mininova which has shut down all torrents...

    Still, been watching season 14 since it started. I have to say, their budget must have been SERIOUSLY cut. So far, first 3 episodes haven't been all that entertaining or even included much about many new cars. I'm hanging in there hoping it improves and in episode 3 they dropped a hint that another special might be on the way as "it was good to be home after 6 weeks away".

    I actually found this season quite good so far.
    The trip to find the best driving road was good, and the greatest car maker episode was pretty good too.

    Ep 4 has the Q7 v12 in it so that will be good, watching it tonight

    You can really tell the budget has been cut though, last week's Zenvo ST1 has been around for about 2 years and they are using older cars in their reviews now.

    Episode 3 is one of the best ever in my opinion. The Lancia segment with the Stratos and Delta Integrale was quite possibly one of the most epic and fantastic pieces of TV ever. Two of my most favourite cars ever. How good did the Stratos sound... Glorious...

    I agree, they need to do more epic challenges and reviews rather than the 1 mini challenge, 2 mini reviews and 30 minutes of star in a car segment.

    The stratos was beuatiful.
    The super wide tyres and the sound was awesome!

    Totally agree with the sentiments about the Lancia feature in episode 3. Very cool! Episode 4 was boring though.

    Loved ep4. That Renault is awesome! Wish they had them here. Same with the Fiat abarth.

    Shoulda brought the Cayenne in against the others, or the R50.

    Only 730nm torque from a twin turbo V12 diesel? Is it just me or does that seam a little low..

    edit: That must not be in NM, the V8TT gets 760nm in Aus.

    The V12 TT TDi gets over 1000NM, so their figures would be in pounds per foot.

    The single display double output dvd/satnav was pretty cool.
