Good news from the Top Gear TV office: At crack of dawn this morning our brave boys returned from Vietnam, all completely safe and well and with their limbs still attached.
So, on the basis that no one got slightly killed or lost a leg in an horrific donkey accident, we’re giving the presenters a day or two to get some sleep and then sending them out to work again.
Jeremy, for example, will be making some small effort to show that Top Gear doesn’t only test wildly expensive megacars by driving one of this year’s coolest and most reasonably priced fast hatchbacks.
Meanwhile, James will be going to the other extreme as we force him outside his Captain Slow comfort zone with a day at the track. He doesn’t know what’s in store yet, but it’s sure to make him slightly displeased.
On a happier note, we’ve also got something very special lined up that’ll answer one of Top Gear’s most frequently asked questions.
No, it’s not ‘Who is The Stig?’ We’ve told you before; why do you think you never see him and Nigel Mansell in the same room?
Come to think of it, that’s just because Stig can’t stand Brummies.

What do you think?

I have a very infrequently asked question. could Richard’s Landie cut it against a Bowler with how much he’s spent on it?
though I suspect it’s a Veyron round the track. Typical though, just before a faster Veyron is released.
or… is it… How fast will the Dacia Sandero go round the track? (actually, that would be a perfect third reasonably priced car)
or maybe who’s faster? Stig or Hamilton?

Rocca I think you’re be right (I misread that) and James is probably finally doing a track test since the only time I’ve seen him on his own around the track has been when he conposed the theme tune from engine notes and also when Black Stig took him around in the old Jag. That will be a refreshing change and if so I am so looking forward to see that. So if James does do a track test then will he get to do his first Stig intro then?
So it looks like Captain (not so) slow and Jezza are doing a role reversal then. Excellent 8).
Roll on series 12.

If this was 2010, i’d guess that May’s power test would be that Lambo Estoque. It’s fast enough for the track, yet is sensible and practical enough for the Captain. A match made in heaven?

Mole from Outside
TG are filming a piece this Friday about the Fiat 500 Abarth in which they are using and original car to compare against. PROBLEM IS THAT THEY ARE NOT USING AN ORIGINAL ABARTH 595 ESSE-ESSE – BUT A FIAT 600 VARIANT. Now, I might be as thick as a whale omellette, but surely anyone who’s anyone who knows anything about cars will notice that this is not right!
Come on TG – use the real McCoy – you know there must be a car available!

Hiya TG team! I’m not giving out my name on the internet cause’ that could be dangerous, but I’m 10 years old and have been watching TG since I was 6, I am more than confident that TG is the best show ever in the history of time in the universe! If you don’t think that a 10 year old could be car-smart, quiz me! I read TG mag every month, check out TG online often, and of course, have watched every episode of new top gear to date! But I have a problem, As I recently moved from Birmingham to Hong Kong, I have to use NOW TV, which doesn’t show new top gear weekly! It would have been fine if I could have resorted to BBC i-player to watch it, but its not available in HK! If you know can youtell me how to watch new TG weekly in HK, please hurry before I die of TG withdrawal!
