I get it through torrent as well. Try using VLC Media Player. It has much better file support than WMP. www.videolan.org

im kind of disappointed they dont do any crazy stunts lately. You dont see them do many cross contenant races, or lets go to america and buy 3 beat up cars. I liked the one last season when they did the off roading in south america

So in your mind, the NSX is one of the worst cars ever? Whatever you say... and it looks Italian because the concept was designed by Pininfarina

Your criteria for hating a car is just because it doesn't run 11s and costs more than $50k. When the NSX came out in '91 it ran mid 13s and didn't cost much more than an LT1 Corvette. Just because prices got inflated too high (though even for $90k it was an awesome car) doesn't make it less of a great car. A cars price doesn't affect how good it is, it just affects what it's worth to YOU. And it's very obvious that what you value in a car and what the NSX was designed for are two different things.

thats the problem, there was no point of paying that much because you were not getting much and there was better options for less........at least the italians give u a cool looking car and v12 power

Honda motors main power when it comes to sports cars is not having a performance v-8 in there sports cars, considering in indy car they had a badass championship winning 8 cylinder motor

can u imagine a honda built v-8 in a production car? it would be a reliable,smooth,powerful motor that would put nissans and toyotas v-8's to shame

I do agree with that. A ~5.0 Honda V8 would be incredible.

Before this thread was hopelessly derailed, it was about Top Gear! Episode 6 of season 15 will be available later today. I'll post up a link when it's available.

I really, really enjoyed the Senna memorial. I seriously almost cried. Im 26 yet I have all the respect in the world for the guys that drove in 80s. Those cars were just insane.

Top Gear has been 6-7 episodes a season for a while now. The show is crazy expensive to put on and the BBC doesnt think they deserve more money for what is, IMHO, the best show on TV.

To all of the people who bitch and complain about how they talk **** about American cars (boo hoo), watch this most recent episode. Half the episode is them making jokes and talking trash about their own country. It's called a sense of humor...
