That was brilliant! Hope JC gets to see it for himself - I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

Ready the rotten fruit and rotten eggs: this Sundays episode is the last in the current series of Top Gear.
Were sorry. We really are. Throw your fruit and eggs but dont aim for the face. Please. Because Show Seven (see, right down with the telly lingo, we are) is lining up to be an absolute cracker.
Weve snuck down to filming to find out whats coming up on Sundays show, and the answer is lots of tyre smoke. Thats because our resident muscle car enthusiast Richard Hammond in a bid to find an interesting alternative to the ubiquitous Germanic sports saloons has got his hands on a Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst.
Yes, thats the eminently sensible Aussie repmobile armed with a 564bhp 6.2-litre V8 and a penchant for getting very sideways. Expensive tyre bills ensue.
Jeremy and James, meanwhile, have been hard at work creating a memorable television advert for Volkswagen. Remember the Golf GTI ad with the squeaky earring? Or the singing dog? Well, its probably going to end up being nowhere near as good as those.
Theres a proper A-list petrolhead in our Reasonably Priced Car, too, as Jay Leno the strong-chinned American chat show host with arguably the finest garage in the world takes the venerable Lacetti for a spin.
And as if that wasnt excitement enough, the Cool Wall is back! This time, however, Jeremy and Richard have promised that they wont fight about the cars at all. Honest. Its all going to be friendship and teamwork and male bonding and definitely no chainsaws this time.

I think season 12 was brilliant too, with the Vietnam special being the best episode ever. Season 13 hasn't been too epic, but James has been hilarious this season.
Also, when watching episode 2 again, I noticed the Stig putting his head under a copy machine, anyone else noticed that? He was very briefly in the background when James, Richard and Jeremy were discussing how to insure their 17-year old cars...

I made a list of this seasons introductions because I was bored and I thought a few of them were humorous.
1: Tonight;
Richard tries to start a motorbike,
James fills his car with petrol,
and I get a british rail sun-tan.
2: Tonight;
we throw a chair over a hedge,
a quite interesting man drivers our reasonably priced car,
and for the first time ever the Bugatti Veyron races the Mclaren F1
3: Tonight;
we shout at the government,
a man drives a Subaru through a building,
and a dog goes in a car.
4: Tonight;
the fastest man in the world on our track,
the slowest man in the world falls asleep,
and we literally set fire to dorset with a machine gun.
5: Tonight;
we save the entire world,
we test a fat spanial from Jaguar,
and we annoy France's second best racing driver.
6: Tonight;
I wear some goggles,
Richard falls down a small slope,
and James says hello to a man.

Good episode, shame it's the last of the series but the next one will be round soon enough.
Great ending, just the Vantage V12 driving along that country lane, hopefully he's wrong about where cars like that are going to end up.

Quite a good episode tonight in my opinion
The ads were pretty funny, especially the one in te hospital with the guy's arm gushing blood.
Jay Leno was a good guest, very amusing story and came across as quite a nice guy (I've never seen him on tv before)
Pretty crap ending I thought. I was hoping for something either very funny or with a lot of action.

They can't end Top Gear
I was thinking the same though during the ending...
I don't think so.

Yes, because it was the last episode of the series. He's said goodbye at the end of several if not all the series so far sometimes he adds roughly when the next series is on if a dates already set. He only say's goodnight mid series. Stop reading too much into this. If (and it's a big if) TopGear doesn't come back then it's got nothing to do with any decisions made during the filming of that series but as things stand TopGear IS coming back.
