Anyone got Top Gear from week before last?

I've been methodically recording and burning to DVD every episode this season and my damned Philips DVD recorder overwrote the episode from 30th May (week before last) with last nights.

Anyone got the 30th May episode on DVD that I could borrow or buy to burn back to my DVD-RW?

Thanks.

Yours hoping

UKTVPeople (Channel 566 on Sky if you have it) are repeating the current series. If you've any idea what was on the program I can have a look in Digiguide to see when it is being repeated

Thanks all.

John, it was the one where

Jeremy drove to Edinburgh and back i an A8 on a single tank of fuel
James used sat nav and a Streetka to race homing pigeons
They played darts with cars
and Ronnie O'Sullivan was the star in a reasonably poriced car.

Have found it to d/l but would prefer an off air copy. Thanks.

I've looked at digiuide listings up until 20/6 and it doesn't look as though it's on before then. The last one I have listings for on the 20th is the one with Jordan and the pigeon. If you remind me at the end of next week, I can have another look at the listings for you

I think the new A8 has approximately a 20 gallon tank. He had to average about 40miles to the gallon.

At todays prices thats a rather large bill.

About the same for a sole person, in terms of fuel costs, as the train.

More civilised though, and one doesn't have to suffer the public.

Ooh, just to confirm that the A8 episode WILL INDEED air on June 27th, 1900-2000, UKTV People (Channel 566 for all those with 'Council TV').

For other petrolheads, if you can't make it down to Goodwood in person (you need a pretty damn good excuse not to), ITV have a LIVE prog. from the Festival, again on Sunday June 27th from 1600 to 1700.

Messiah,

If this is the same episode where they test the Porsche Carrera GT I still have it on DVD+RW. A friend has it just now but I will have it back next week.

If you would like a lone of the DVD I can send it to you no problem.

Wait till you hear the sound of the GT's V10...

Klippie.
