They're all staged. Including the races too. (Except that bit on the American Special in the petrol station) Don't let that put you off, it's comedy! Suspend your disbelief and enjoy the show!

I have to admit the new episode with the Reliant robin in it was fucking hilarious. SCREEEE-FLIP-SMASH-CLUNK "Err.... Can you flip me up?"

I can see why the Bubble Car never caught on.
Wish they'd stop interviewing politicians >:| Everyone they've had on has been very boring.

Maybe some tech info or w/e are played to them but they're more known for their lack of scripts and unforseen events.

[B]2nd episode is out![/B] [url]http://www.casttv.com/shows/top-gear/season-15-episode-2/0n36pj[/url]
Man, I've not seen Top Gear in ages. I loved it so much. I think I stopped watching it because it just got a bit boring or something... Definitely need to get back into it.
I'm so excited that Gran Turismo is going to include the Top Gear track (Or at least appears to in the last trailer). For any Top Gear fans with a ps3, get this game.
For anyone that wants to see the track day laps they did, here they are Jeremy's [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsKLw7iVpJc[/media] James' (It ends at about 6:05, James May is not a good video editor) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbUgAI-VTZw[/media] Richard's [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAXp6uqLkYs[/media]

Which episode was it where they went on Holiday carrying a caravan with them and ended up setting the thing on fire?
[QUOTE=TheTalon;23126098]Which episode was it where they went on Holiday carrying a caravan with them and ended up setting the thing on fire?[/QUOTE] Season 8, episode 6
[QUOTE=TheTalon;23126098]Which episode was it where they went on Holiday carrying a caravan with them and ended up setting the thing on fire?[/QUOTE] I've only ever seen that once on Dave but it's one of my favourites, I wish they'd show it more.
That caravan one is a classic.
I don't get BBC America in HD I only get it in SD :sigh:
Top Gear is one of the best shows I've seen on that BBC channel. :v:

For any Top Gear fans with a ps3, get this game.[/QUOTE] I wonder how Polyphony is going to handle the part of the track that cuts across itself. You won't be able to have head-to-head races on it. I'm guessing we'll see license tests on it, then never use it again.
[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;23121819]You might wanna check your garage and found out he never actually left you 9 years ago.[/QUOTE] Nah, he still hear, he's had 4 or 5 bubble cars in total :)
