The solution is to move forward or backward ever so slightly to line up the gears and try again. Would have been entertaining if Jeremy had encountered oen of the tricks my old Frontera managed a couple of times, where one of the auto-freewheeling front hubs didn't disengage properly, and you get this whubba-whubba-whubba through the drivetrain until they actually get with the programme and you get a nice loud thump at about 30.

Well that ends an era. I liked the small touches to the segments, like the Fiat badge changed to "FAT", the cars being in barns, the hacksaw job on the Frontera and the graphics on May's Pajero

) so I don't doubt part of that was Hammond intentionally making it look like it was much harder to shift the transfer case than it really was.

Just watching some episodes on Netflix, i really hope that either on the new Top Gear or whatever the boys do, they continue making segments featuring touring car racers racing random types of vehicles

It's hard to believe that was it, the end of Top Gear as we knew it. A very British goodbye and not much more.

I started watching the final season on amazon and the Patagonia special was pretty great. I thought for sure Hammond's Rustang would be more sensible than it ended up being.

I've always thought that about top gear. Treat it like doctor who. You cant say the original format was fresh. If he takes the show for 2 years and moves on i would be thrilled. I've been in a "let the place burn down" mood about the Beeb ever since the first rumblings of a female doctor a few years back. Might as well try something risky, i'll be watching netflix instead

All I'm saying is I'm really loving glad the US has James Corden over there otherwise I fear that fat prick would've been in with a chance of presenting. It could be worse, much worse. But yeah, Evans isn't the best choice in all honesty.

A bit sad it isn't with Netflix, but I guess Amazon have more to gain. Prime will still be a hard sell in some countries, you won't get all the benefits as the USA prime. E: quote:Amazon Instant Video (formerly Amazon Video On Demand) is an Internet video on demand service by Amazon in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Austria, Germany and soon India. drunkill fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Jul 30, 2015 |

I know that (in the US) you can buy individual episodes or season passes for Amazon original content without a prime subscription so you could probably just change your address to a US or other country with service the same way people get around book release dates on Kindle.

drunkill posted:Yep, I wonder if they'll do TV deals for worldwide distribution, otherwise it'll be a very pirated show, which the BBC didn't mind too much because of how they got their income. In the WSJ article they said that they will be making local TV deals for countries without Prime Video access. I wonder how much Amazon spent on this, you have to imagine it is a astronomical amount of money since iTV, Sky and Netflix all have deep pockets and wanted them badly.

Probably more money than the rights to any tv show in history, by quite a margin. But it'll be absolutely worth it to them, especially if they actually want to make prime streaming a competitor to netflix.

I always considered the Prime streaming a nice little bonus to the meat of Prime which for me is the 2 day shipping. Although honestly the only thing I have ever really watched on it has been Alpha House which is absolutely fantastic.

Dammit  I'm piggy-backed off a kind goon's prime account so I only get the 2-day shipping but not the streaming or anything. Guess I'm going to have to upgrade to full Prime.  why couldn't it have been Netflix, I'm already paying them.
