> Just because you see a new episode on TV it doesn’t mean that you are watching it the same day that it aired in Europe. It’s just like over here in Europe we can see American episodes of CSI and Jail break and Lost and 24 and blah blah blah on American chanels like HBO of FOX or CBS or NBC and we think they are new episodes that aired the same day in USA but they are not. What aired here today may have aired in USA 1 to 3 weeks ago.  
> The same goes with European chanels people in North America may think they are watching something that just aired in Europe the same day or even at the same time meanwhile people here saw it a few weeks before.  
> Possibly if you have satelite depending on which satelite you are catching a signal from only then you can see the same thing they are watching in Europe at the same time as long as that chanel doesn’t have an export version that is different then the local version.  
> But if you are watching BBC on Rogers then most likely you are watching the export stream and not the local England stream. I don’t know why they have a local version and an export version but it sucks, because a few weeks ago my friend was telling me about a funny episode of the Family guy and I saw it like a week later here.

> Anyway back on subject… I have yet to see an episode of Top Gear that I didn’t like, yes some episodes may not be as good as others but never the less I don’t think I have ever seen an episode of Top Gear that I got to the point where I felt like changing the chanel.

dude usually i am right no track with you. but this cannot be. If this episode came out in Europe 2 weeks ago. then why didn’t it show up on any torrents? Why is no one in Europe seeding torrents of the show before it airs here in north america

See here, the problem is, the OP was talking about EP3, and Toronto is talking about EP4, half of us are talking about the Airport vehicle episode, and half of us are talking about the lame one before it.

Though I agree, EP3 and EP4 didn’t have a solid main story they ran with through the whole episode, like EP1&2, with the touring cars, and the electric car thing.

People are not on the same page here…

Dexter rocks.

And yea, Dexter is pretty sick, last ep was awesome.

Wait you guys were talking about episode 4 ??? …Uhhhh oops! my bad then LOL!.. Sorry I thought we were talking about 3… I guess I should read things more carefully next time, now that I went back and re read the posts before mine I see that some where talking about EP4 while others talked about 1 and 2 and others about 3 and 4. I was going to say I can understand if Canada is like a week behind the most but how can they be like 18 days behind lol?

And Mike it’s not Europe this and Europe that, sometimes I do mention it so when I post something people undestand the post better. Like if I post a tv commercial I saw here without mentioning I’m in Europe people will be like “how, where and when did he see that commercial?” but by me explaining I’m here it doesn’t raise questions.  
Us veteran or old school guys that have been here in SON like forever know each other and we all know what’s up but for the new guys who just joined and don’t know us and don’t know what’s up… they need further explaining, it’s not like they can google Toronto240sx and find out everything they need to know LOL!!! …hmmmmmmm I should google toronto240sx just to see what comes up lol!!!
