Another outtake. Or rather, 13 minutes of Jeremy and Jay Kay being incredibly nerdy. I thoroughly enjoyed this one! www.topgear.com/content/videos/videos/164/broadband.htmlBTW, if anyone runs into trouble with the BBC links, PM and I'll see if I can sort it out, though the resulting file will be absolutely enormous! Thanks for posting this, Wy. I'm going to have to watch it upstairs, because my laptop can't keep up with the audio. The audio is great. Wish I had the luxury of a helicopter so I can look at the A11 on my way home from work as they're poking along in gridlock. |

Wyern, I am still having problems with the "Germans" video. WMP won't start and with RealPlayer I have sound, but the video isn't working, just a few stills.
Can you help me out with this one? I love it when James talks about his love for Spitfires and really would like to see the video as well.
Is anyone else having this problem? I always wonder whether it's my computer or not. I bought it only last year but it has been given me so much trouble, I'm seriously considering switiching over to Mac.

Yes, Linden. I tried to watch it on my good computer too and nothing would happen.
Wy, if you have any ideas, please let us know. Thank you.

Right... Linden, if you right click and 'save target as' (or the Firefox equivalent) on this link it will take you to a downloadable .avi version (that is nothing to do with me, if anyone from the BBC is reading) which should play like any other AVI file in media player or whatever your default program is for playing media files. I don't know why the BBC one is causing so many problems, but having converted it into a format that doesn't require streaming does seem to have helped Adco at least, so I know it works  It is about 24 meg though, and is about 5 minutes long. If I need to give the new one the same treatment, I'm expecting it to come up at around 70 meg if I do it in the highest quality. Regarding 'The Germans', there is a fault on the WMP link on the BBC website, and RealPlayer, while working fine for me, is notoriously moody. If the .avi version won't play, I'm at a loss... |

And the best thing is you can keep it and watch it whenever you want to  |

Thanks for your help, Wy. I thought it was really sweet how that was James' dream job.

A kind soul on Final Gear posted the German version (D Motor) of the challenges. It's very good if you have a spare hour. Fair bit of extra footage - including Mr May smoking a fag or two Part 1 of 5 |

BRILLIANT! How funny is Carsten? Thank you, thank you, Porsche and the nice chap(ess?) who did the subbing ;D
Mind you, I did get confused... I found myself reading the German subs when people were speaking English!

That was quite funny, thank you pp! The German version made it look a lot more fun than Top Gear's. I thought James said he didn't smoke at one point, lately it seems we can't look at anything without him having a drag.

I'm neutral on smoking, but there's something so sexy about James doing it - I don't know how or why. Same thing with him touching and/or pushing back his hair. Almost everyone does this, but when James does, it's like PHWOAR! I should be on some kind of medication probably |

Maybe he smokes more when he is around the TG lot and when he is stressed. BUt him it's but wrong at the same time |

James + smoking. For some reason, it works for me, too  ;D |

Well, yes, he is a very attractive smoker, naturally, but it makes me want to light up, too. That's not a good thing, I haven't smoked in about fifteen years.

Isn't that strange that we would be so susceptible? I thought I thought that smoking was gross!

Up until recently, the smell used to make me nauseous. Now, it just makes me want to bum a fag off of someone. Seeing anyone of the three of them with one gives me a taste for it too.
