Series 13 preview: TG goes clubbing

Posted by The Mole at 9:30 am on Tuesday June 9, 2009

Richard HammondLess than two weeks to go until Top Gear’s back on your telly, so here’s the first of The Mole’s daily new series preview leaks.

You might have seen a couple of pictures from this film splattered across the press last week – Jeremy, Richard and James taking part in a classic car rally.

James MayThe producers stuffed a few quid in each of the boys’ pockets to pick up a suitably rubbish old nail at auction and sent them off to join a procession of genuine beardy enthusiasts.

The twist? The office chose their co-drivers too…

Top Gear returns on June 21. We’ll continue the countdown tomorrow on Transmission with another Mole preview blog…

    Yet again, I find myself questioning WHY I am American. While the UK gets to see Top Gear in action starting in June, I have to sit around through the misery of winter, waiting for a new episode get funding, purchase a ship, recruit some worthy sailors, gather rations, load their muskets, and eventually cross the Atlantic to colonize my television. Sometimes, I just want to sit on my sofa and eat my sorrows away…but then Top Gear arrives, and all is forgotten…

    Imagine being Clarkson’s co-driver.
    “Turn left”
    Clarkson: “No! We’re going right!”
    “Jeremy, are we lost?”
    Clarkson: “Yes”
    Classic

    Can’t wait! The lads in a classic car rally! That’ll be just hilarious! Imagine James navigating… Will they have pacenotes, or will it be a proper classic rally with maps? I hope someone has a Mini – that’d be the perfect car for Hamster!

    This series is going to be the best ever series of TG! This new classic car rally challenge thing is going to be full of the usual TG stuff: Jeremy shouting ‘Powerrrrrrrr!’ Richard keeping his car, falling in love with it and naming it, and James being as slow as possible, which is easy for him.

    Although it’s probably leaked everywhere about the co-drivers…I would have loved if they set it up like this:

    Jeremy with Piers Morgan
    Hamster with Kip
    May with The Stig

    But what would probably end up would be Morgan and Jeremy would catch fire, Hamster and Kip would fall over and Stiggy would end up walking out on May.

    Remember what was said when Rory Bremner was on talking about his classic car club? I wonder will the co-drivers be “friendly man with beard” or perhaps friendly man with beard’s wife who may also have beard?!

    Let the record (at least the comment box from S. 11 or S. 12) show I suggested this brilliant idea.

    I even offered to lend my classic and co-drive with whichever of the lads was closest in height to me.

    I’m not bitter. In fact, I am in a most jovial mood as I contact my attorneys.
