Tom Jones strode out onto the track yesterday, and despite charming the birds from the trees, he confessed to not having changed gear in a car for 40 years.
40 years.
Now that is unusual. The last time we had a guest on who struggled to change gear using ’stick’ we dropped two gearboxes in our reasonably priced car.
The Stig was on hand, though, with some sound advice to help the Welsh warbler avoid driving over the green green grass of home. Sorry, that was awful.
Anyway, if you want to know how the cog-grinding lap went, I’m afraid The Mole’s been gagged. Sunday at 9pm is your best bet. And you can keep your hat on.
By the way, if you want to avoid becoming friends with the out buildings at the Top Gear track ready for when you’re famous and do a celebrity lap, then check out the awesome bit of CGI cleverness we’ve put together on our new show page. Just click on the track guide…

ha ha – I got the first comment! Aren’t the presenter of Top Gear “sex bombs”! Oh, the jokes just keep on coming!
I bet he’s just gonna sing all the time in the car whilst he does his lap
it will so good if he is the fastest
as long as he beats wogan and sings delilah the whole way round it should be good no matter what the time
will the stig be paying homage to the welsh warbler by furnishing his cd player on his power lap
Yes, that joke was completely awful. I hope you’re ashamed of yourself ;P
But the track guide is fantastic!
l hope Tom beats JK goes at the top, that would be unusual to have a new name at the top, bring on Tom will have to throw undies at the tv.
TOM JONES…..does it get any better!
My boyfriend loves Top Gear and I love Tom Jones. I know what we will be doing on Sunday evening.
Canada loves you Tom!!
Topgear!… Topgear! your a sexBOMB

he’ll either come top or bottom by about 2 minutes
lol
he`s getting everywhere that craig02
i would be the 2nd most surprised person in the world (after jezza)if tom goes slower than jimmy carr. He’ll be around 1.50ish…Clarkson area perhaps. He’ll be good as a guest as long as he dosent spend the night on the test track.
My guess is 1.52
Mr Jones was a bit naughty actually. He got the filming re-arranged so he was recorded first as he ‘had to dash off to do the Lottery’. He had gone by 16:15 but didn’t do the Lottery until 22:45!!
Prima Donna???
Does any 1 no y jason dawe left top gear???????????????
I think TG’s long overdue for a new reasonably priced car. Perhaps something a bit more exciting, a cheap hot hatch?
