    Dave,

    I know this program has already run in the UK on the normal BBC channel, however for us outside the UK it is the first time it will be broadcasted....

    From what I read here and there, the RS6 get the preference ?

    Thumbs up

    Seems to me that Clarkson was pretty impressed by the RS6, and that he chose it over the E55 surprised me a bit, considering he owns an SL55... Anyway; the RS6 sound is amazing!
    And the "Lada by Lotus" was hilarious

    Greetings.

    I have a MPEG2 file captured directly from the stream from a digital cablereceiver with that testdrive.:roll:

    It's about 113MB in size.
    (Or about 200MB unedited with the AMG E55 drive included)

    If anyone can host the file(s), I'll be happy to upload it there.

    Regards,
    Magnus

    BBC Top Gear video

    Hi Magnus
    I would love to see that video I have a blue Avant coming in June and I cant wait much longer. I cant find it anywhere else on the web. Can you tell me where to get it from. I will rip it into several different sizes and host it myself, until my ISP gets mad about the bandwidth.
    Regards Gaz

    I have spoken to the manager at my dealership. He is going to get me a copy of the programme next Wednesday on video. I am going for a spin in a demo RS6 with my wife and will pick it up then. Give me an evening to rip it and I will send it to Erik. If thats Ok

    I've downloaded the TopGear movie now.
    It's quite good I must say.

    Only one problem...Jeremy talks with about 75% of the normal speed. Something like Jabba the Hut.
    Will try to solve that before it's put online... :eye:

    Where can i see this video of the rs6? Eventhough im in the us, im a big fan of the Top Gear show. Iv downloaded many of the test drives with Tiff and they are great. Its too bad we cant get Top Gear in the states. But yeah i was just wondering where this video was going to be posted. Thanks a lot.
