We’ve just heard it confirmed by BBC brass that the next series of Top Gear will be in HD.
That means all the races, supercars sliding from left to right of your telly screens and the boys’ comedic adventure, all in crystal clarity.
As Jeremy said a few weeks’ back, filming is well underway on Series 14 and if all goes to plan it’ll be on your screens by mid-November.
Until then, it’s the usual grainy repeats on Dave – or the bulging archive of on-demand clips we’ve got here at TopGear.com. You should know where they are by now…

it was all I could do not to laugh ;)

IT'S ABOUT TIME. Seriously you'd think they would have been doing this for a while. I definitely can't wait for the new season now!

What is this 'limit' nonsense you speak of? Shit.. not even my cell phone has a monthly cap. I've had it well over 7GB before.. yes, on a cell phone. :angel:

That is skill and dedication to mobile computing right there.
But really Bob a limit on your home connection?!

here in Toronto i'm limited to 100gb total for a month
i had unlimited when i lived back home and i used a hell of a lot more than 100gb a month
here i basically have to cut out seeding and uploading quickly for my torrents
i unfortunately am selfish

Dude that really blows that Aus has the bandwidth limits on thier service they provide. I had a guild mate that i used to play WoW with who was from australlia and i remember one time he couldnt play for like 2 weeks cause he exceeded his bandwidth and his ISP throttled him WAY back on his speed.
EDIT: you should look up and see if you can still do that trick to use your iPhone as your ISP, i'm assuming they have unlimited data packages for your iPhone?
