Last night's Top Gear

[Roddie]

I thought that was the best bit, I can't stand Hamilton after this years F1 season!

[Alastair]

Did anyone notice Hammonds hair in the F1 piece? Me and the mrs thought to ourselves it may have been filmed before the Vampire crash and indeed it was. As mentioned in the below report.

That's a very interesting read of what goes into program making. It also outs The Stig as the person we all 'knew' it was anyway.

[Wools]

Have a look back earlier in the thread, if you wish, to where I posted about the upcomming season of Top Gear.

Hammon driving the F1 car is in the peice, Top Gear have also never shown other features as well due to time.

[Eps]

I may be breaking a few hearts for anybody who still doesn't know. If you want to know the identity of one of the real Stig then click here!

He was the proper Stig from the really early shows

Yeah, he isn't "the" Stig anymore. It seems likely that there are multiple Stigs. Well, excluding the Stig's American cousin..

It's moved back to 9pm tonight and should be a good show

- The three presenters do a 24 hour endurance race - with a twist ..
- Test of the new Fiat 500
- Stig takes the Ferrari 430 round the track

[Malavon]

Ah, great - thanks for the post, reminded me it was on

[Montaver]

Best episode for ages I reckon, the endurance race was quality, tense, and CLarksons little bleary moment at the end had me in stitches. Shame the episodes are never normally as good!

Quite enjoyed last night's episode. Funny seeing The Stig overtaking the other cars, M3's included, in the 330d.

No F430 (presumably it would have been the Scuderia?) as promised by a certain Super Moderator though! But the Ascari (?) was a good enough replacement

[VR46]

Yeah top episode, best one for a while, it would have been the Scuderia yes, just passing on what I reaad in the TV mag. Ascari was a top notch motor though.

That 24 hour racing in the dark looked very hard work, then the fog, christ it's wonder anyone stayed on the track.

[ChrisF]

Wonder what happens for them to bump cars from the show then? I'd have rather have seen the F430 than the Fiat 500... Likewise, the Cayman S was supposed to be on the show of the 2nd, but it wasn't. Nevermind eh.

If you're going to crash into a car, then you may as well crash into one worth £1/2 million then!

[Alastair]

I've not seen the ep yet but will watch tonight, couldn't stop myself from reading this thread though!

Think the press Scuderia was a little dented by a different journo so they wouldn't have had the chance to track it in the past 2 weeks.

Can't wait to get home now and watch this

[cutmymilk]

This is not on tonight - last episode is shown next week

[VR46]

Yep, as Clarkson said, it's thanks to the "Billiards"

[VR46]

Enjoyed last night's series ending show. The new Mercedes and M3 looked pretty nifty.

Caught most of the program after about Evel Knievel as well - was better than I was expecting.

Back to nothing on on Sunday evenings

Anyone else notice they used some music from halo in the jaguar review?
