I'll watch it after work. Already downloaded it, ripped the subtitles to SRT from the MKV, now converting the 720p MKV to 720p MP4 of just under a gigabyte. Then I'll put it on my FTP at home and share it with my friends who like cars but are not to keen on torrenting.

Holy crap, that's a lot of work for a more or less OK-ish show... Hell, that's a lot of work for any show.

I am very anal when it comes to media, that is really very little effort actually. Since I weened myself of GUI tools and started to do everything using FFMPEG from the CLI tasks like this is trivial. Just takes a while on my quad core Athlon.

You should see the work involved when I take VHS to the darkest corners of the interwebz :twisted:

I'm more surprised you have friends that are not keen on torrenting. You being a serial "pirater" and all.

109 done & dusted. "The American" was crap & so was the "celebrity" flying away.

May's insert on the new NSX was a great watch.

Many jolly laughs for JC & his take on an SUV.

The alternative energy segment was average.

Lastly the "Bug Out" segment clearly cost big money but I felt it was scripted just too much.

Lol

I genuinely like it though:

Top episode (apart from the two usual downers). Let's hope it's onwards and upwards from here.
