I want a S-class. There have been quite alot on the roads already after such a short time. Top car.

I saw one today in the car park of the Tesco that I work as, its huge! lol
 
I saw an S600 with that glass roof which changed darkness. That car very nice!
 
Man, I really liked that S-Class thing. The old one I mean, with the living room in it. I laughed so hard when Hamster and Captain Slow gave it a go on the track.

:lol: 👍
 
Highlights on the next ep

Spin, doctor!
Racing car company Prodrive is normally associated with Subaru World Rally cars, but the firm has put all of its talents on show in a two-seat sports car, called the P2. Jeremy puts the pint-sized pretender through its paces on the track, but the big man is left feeling sick as a parrot as he takes one turn too many...

And here is the news...
As you'd expect, Jeremy, Richard and James have plenty to say about this week's hottest topics. Suffering from severe nicotine withdrawal symptoms, Jeremy lays into everyone and everything, while the team look at the latest new models from Ford and Audi. Oh, and the biggest independent car satisfaction survey is back - but the boys need your help.

When James met Jackie
Top Gear decided to make Captain Slow into Captain Quick with the aid of Formula One legend Sir Jackie Stewart. And the three-time world champ has just one day to give James the tips he needs to lop 20 seconds off his pace around Oulton Park in a TVR Tuscan.

Pottering about
Sir Michael Gambon, aka Dumbledore, is this week's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car (sadly, it's not a flying Ford Anglia). Will the actor enchant the crowds with a, er, magic performance? Tune in on Sunday to find out.

Odds-on favourite
For years, the BBC used an old Citroen CX to film all its horse racing coverage. To find out if the new C6 is as soft riding, Jeremy took it to a race meeting and strapped a camera to the roof. Let's hope the punters aren't put out by this French thoroughbred.

Style counsel
The Citroen C6, Porsche's 911 Turbo, Aston's V8 and the new Peugeot 207 all make an appearance on the Cool Wall this week. All French superminis are cool, says Jeremy, but will the new Pug make the grade?
 
My mate went to the filming of TG the other day. I think it's this Sunday's so i'll be keeping an eye out for him.
 
I didn't have the time to watch last sunday's episode yet, hopefully I'll watch it tonight. The next episode looks interesting.
 
A great ep, the news about James May and Richard Hammond was funny. Now we be waiting a while till the next ep is on.

Gambon was funny, and the C6 was quite a nice car, and as for captin slow actually going fast and getting faster was a lesson to be had by all I think. very good episode, just a shme the footy is taking over for five weeks.
 
It's very busy, but I think it gets away with it.

I haven't seen this episode yet, I'll have to watch it on Tuesday at 7pm on BBC2 for anyone else that missed it.

Am I the only person that thinks the P2 design is a tad busy?

I saw it in the 'metal' at Autosport 2006 back at the start of year and it looks a lot better. Guess its one of those cars that is better looking for real that in pics or on telly.

Its such a pity that Prodrive are not going to make that car.... I do love that squirrel mincer sound it makes :lol: The episode was really good, so funny as usual. Clarkson and his restraining order hahahaha! and May in that lear tard, also the previous episode where hammond fell over in the living room in the s-class that was pure genius! I also enjoyed the aygo football, I wonder if you can pay to actually play that!
 
Sure, buy a plot of land, buy a few cars and big inflatable ball and two goals, all you need then are some drivers. You are paying to play it :D. I don't think any company would allow people to smash cars up like that for any less than it would actually cost to buy the cars and do it yourself.
 
One thing I hate is that they only show Top Gear once a week, unless you have digital where they show some reruns. I swear I need a Top Gear fix every second day because it is so entertaining to watch.
 
They show Top Gear (random eps from the last 5 or so seri) at least twice a day on UKTVG2. So if there was ever a reason to get Sky... :P

You know you can watch eps of Top Gear on Google Videos too? That's always a good place to look.
 
I enjoyed that part a lot, Jackie really does know how to drive a TVR like a legend Gabkicks.
 
well i lived in the USA and i just recently moved back to brasil. there i watched Top Gear and i just got addicted to it and for the last week I have been downloading top gear videos like crazy. They are just so awesome, by far the best car show i have ever seen in my life.

My favorite is when they all have to build amphibious cars/ funny stuff. (clarckson: "POWER!")
