Top Gear: ZR1, Challenger, CTS-V

Year's_End · 11-20-2008, 11:28 PM

This has to be one of the best multi-car reviews I've ever seen from the Top Gear team. Funny, good camera work, the usual. And for once, they have plenty of great things to say about American cars!

Something about the ZR1 has instantly become much more appealing after watching all of these vids.

Try this link. I just checked it and both parts worked.

This episode is hilarious! James is a riot (especially when he does the burnout - I lost it)

Props to all the cars. The ZR1 is AWESOME!

gonzo · 11-21-2008, 10:40 AM

Cornering the Bago while James was on the throne was pretty funny too.

Thanks for the working link.
Caddy...163mph mile was impressive.

You can download torrents of all the episodes from Final Gear. You can get Top Gear, 5th Gear, and Top Gear Aussie. Love that site.

Watching on my TV is much better than on my computer.

I downloaded a torrent and all I got was the audio clip. Complete fail. What do I need to play back the vids?

Perhaps you need codecs bro. Tell me what file/s were downloaded and I'll try help you out.

Back on topic: I loved this episode, especially when they set off the alarms

Keyless entry thing was funny too...

Does this help? It's an AVI file. I'm not good at this stuff, lol.

Year's_End · 11-21-2008, 01:03 PM

Actually I just realized how useless that pic is. What do I need to play AVI files?

Yeah its basically a DVD-rip, 700mb avi file. Have you tried playing it on other players like DivX or anything?

Try download this, it has windows media player classic which lets me open most file types:

http://www.download.com/Windows-Esse...-10662709.html

it's free btw.

1. if you're using Windows Media Player, just go to www.cole2k.net, download the standard codec file, install it, and enjoy.

2. Download VLC media player. Search on Google for it.

Enjoy!
