Hilarious episode on Monday night.

They cut the roof off of a Renault Espace min-van to make it a convertible. Too funny.

Do we have any idea as to how old these shows are? Hopefully they're a little more current than the episodes of 5th Gear that Speed Channel runs...

Rudy -

The shows are from 2006. The episode which aired here on Monday night was first shown on BBC May 7, 2006 (season 8). There are 8 episodes in season 8. Then there are 6 episodes starting with the return of Richard Hammond after his crash, which started running again on the BBC in late January, 2007.

So I'm hopeful we will catch up soon.

Generally you can find out by the reg plate on the cars... for all you chaps across the pond:

Number plates in the UK are in the format BH04 CFG

BH refers to the location in the UK bought
04 is the age (Early 2004)
CFG are random letters

The years go like this:

04 - early 2004
54 - late 2004
05 - early 2005
55 - late 2005
06 - early 2006
56 - late 2006

and so on.....

I watch Top Gear time after time after time. After the events of the Haptster, the UK are considering killing off the show... ar5e holes. :thumbsdown:

Anyway hope this helps.
