Do you have netflix. Season 9-13 are avaliable on the OnDemand function.
Other then that look for a program called VUZE.
or casttv.com for online streaming
The Netflix ones are shortened, though. Alas!
I have a Mac as well, casttv works for me when watching that certain British car show. 
I have netflix and have watched all the latest that they have. I needed to catch up on season 14 & 15. What exactly is casttv?

Its a website. Go to it and search for the topgear seasons, you can watch them online.
just did. thanks guys. already passed the word on to a fellow tg fan. I am forever indebted!
how does the whole finalgear.com torrent thing work. I've tried it before but never with much success.
FinalGear.com is a directory of Top Gear & Fifth Gear episodes. Assuming you have a bittorrent application installed on your Mac (such as Azureus, BitRocket, XTorrent, etc.), browse FinalGear to find an episode which interests you (most recent season here) then click the link at the bottom of the show description to open the its torrent and download the video of the episode.
Final gear is great. New episodes up with in a day of being aired (HD follows a few days later). I would download them and then save them onto my PS3 to watch on a normal TV Worked for all 120+ episodes except 1 that has no sound.

You'll need two bits of s/w. a torrent downloader (uTorrent (mac version, too!) is popular) and a movie player like VLC. Follow the links on finalgear to get the torrent file and open it in uTorrent. In so many hours (dependent on your isp download speed), you'll have a movie file to play. Leave the torrent downloader running for good karma. Be sure to cap your upload speed to something like 5 to 12 kbit/sec. isp's get annoyed when uploading fills the available bandwidth; plus there are hidden caps on upstream bandwidth that can lock your service down. Pause the downloader if you want to watch the movie. If you don't mind quicktime, get the perian set of codecs.
Can I pause my download and shut down my computer? Will the downloads start where they left off?
Yes and yes.
super cool. thanks.
I use Transport, but uTorrent is just as good. Finalgear is the place I get all my torrent links.
You'll need to log in to post.
