You do know the series we are going to see on SBS is almost a year old?
You can download all the episodes via bittorrent from finalgear.com

Clarkson insists there will be no more, bit of a shame really.

That's not quite what he said. There wont be a series in their summer but depending on public demand it may well return a little later and quite possibly with a modified format.

Blog post here .

Top gear have lost their way, yes it is funny, but I would rather see it go back to the same format like in seasons 6 and 7. There is too much fake crap in it, heading more towards like American TV. I just want to see new cars tested!

I agree, but it does need to be broken up with some humor.

I could download it, but would rather wait for it on TV as there is nothing ever on on Monday nights!

The best humour they have is when they are evaluating the cars, road trips and challenges. It’s just all the scripted comedy which is so obvious, it’s getting really old. In season 9, they barely tested any new cars that are on the market or soon to be.

It looks like sbs will be showing Season 8. They have skipped season 7 for some reason :

Why would the BBC get rid of this show, it is one of the best rating shows!

What they NEED to do is come "down under" and do a special, it would be so popular over there and here.

Let them take a few FPV and HSV cars around the country!

I heard the latest series is a funny mix because of what they had already filmed before Hammond's crash and what they didn't have time to film after. They made less episodes for the year with what they already had.

not 100% on that its just what i heard

All nine seasons are available for download at once on torrentspy, BUT its almost 37 gig of download...just completed it and the quality is outstanding. This also includes all the specials they have ever done.
