Less 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.
The 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…

brilliant!
Looks like the new series is going to be very interesting
Fantastic! Possibly another example of being ambitious but rubbish
Already I think going to be the best episode…!!!!!
lol is Kiff one of them? XD
So can’t wait to see this.
I have seen pics of James and his co-driver. How much money did he slip you guys at the office?
Excellent!
Can’t wait for Series 13! ><
let me guess, captain slow gets the stig as his co-driver , lol
I can imagine that, petrolheadsteve.
“Medium left! Hard right! Easy right!”
Who bought that blue Citroen Ami! Can’t wait!
This should be exiting!
who is captain slow co driver ?
cant wait
another challenge? BRILMAZING!
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…

I hope Piers Morgan will be the co-driver of Jeremy!
That’d be bloody brilliant!
James’s co driver Madison…. was probably more interested in the Wankle engine, she is after all a Petrolhead?
Imagine being Clarkson’s co-driver.
“Turn left”
Clarkson: “No! We’re going right!”
“Jeremy, are we lost?”
Clarkson: “Yes”
Classic
Excellent!
Can’t wait for Series 13!
if that piers man is jezzas co driver ill laugh
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!
Series 13! YES!
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.
Their mums as co-drivers!
for those who want to see who james’s co-pilot is:

also a few photos of the others in their cars
WARNING: CONTAINS POTENTIAL SPOILERS!
Finally!!! Been waiting so long. Wish we had such a great motorprogram in Sweden… Only wish they would test the worlds fastest Golf (they claimed it was the one with W12 that VW built) ITS NOT! Its the one the Swede Dahlback built…
can’t wait
its going to be amazing
clarkson in the austin healy sprite, that will be classic!
WOW! Cant wait till its back on! cmon Jeremy, Richard and James…
I’m seeing OLIVER all over again and LOL at james’s co-pilot!
POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Everyone is so bloody nice.
Oh I love you Jeremy, Oh Richard you are so sweet, Oh James you are so witty! WTF?
Everyone went waveing rainbow flag?
cant wait!
uber can’t wait!
I’m so excited! 21 of June, be it! Bring it on!
Can’t wait, need new fix of TG as I have seen the Dave repeats so often now that I almost know them of by heart (like some folk with the Monty Python sketches). Sunday evenings were made for Top Gear, best served with a special calzone from my local takeaway!
21st june not so far away then cant wait
ps:did you watch fifth gear on the 8 th june
hello
@wahoo
Lets think about that… erm… NO.
o my god, o my god, o my god, opps just wet myself. oh noooo! Am away in Portugal when the new series starts. No wait panic over thank jebus for inventing Sky +.
This is the only series on tv that I get all giddy about and scream like a teenage girl. Sundays have a meaning to exist again.
Wahoo, i did, and it’s allright now
I believe that’s a woman inside Jeremy’s car. A very beautiful blonde woman.
oh im wetting my pants!
CNT W8 4 TOP GEAR COS IT MAKES U LUV THE CARS YOU ARE SO DESPERATE TO HATE……. GO JEZZA
GO HAMSTER
GO CAPTAIN
SLOW
WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
12 DAYS TO GO
CAN’T WAIT CAN’T WAIT CAN’T WAIT..OMG OMG OMG!!!
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.
What would be an awesome present for my birthday, the return of TOP GEAR
can’t wait for it
i think jeremy clarkson and richard hamster hammond are the best car presenters ever on tv and should be on more times than that other one on the other side and i love the stig he’s great oh ye and i like james may too.
It’s gonna pwn! Can’t wait.
That looks brilliant bring it on!!
Public seems to be prone to premature ejaculation.
“How hard can it be??”
Why cant we do the coolwall anymore??????
Its gonna be amazin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, my last exam’s on the Thursday, I go to Silverstone on the Thursday, and then TopGear on Sunday? What a weekend! What a reward for all the hard, boringness of exams
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?!
Looking forward to seeing what cars the boys buy with the money and looking forward to see who the co-drivers are….
Love the challenges the lads get into tbh
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.
I can’t remember waiting this long for a top gear series to start so it better be worth it and im sure it is.
can’t wait till 21st june. got all next week off as i finish exams this friday so a week of boredness is worth it if topgears on at the end of it al
all i know is james’s co-driver is a beauty model. that could be interestin lmfao. cant waiiitttt!!!!!!
I just Jizzed in my pants
Much better than the usual i say
Clarksons co driver is an old top gear presenter
Can’t watch this one. It’ll make me way too jealous. *hisses* I’m sure the rest of you will love it.
They should have Gordon Brown as Jeremys co-driver after all the stuff he said about him that would be a laugh! lol
After watching the load of utter load of vomit that is the Australian Top Gear it’ll be sweet relief to actually see the original lads back at again… and some decent production also!!! bring it on chaps!
james may had to have slipped them a fortune to get her as his co driver!
I LOVE THE SOUND OF THIS! CANT WAIT!
21ST OF JUNE SEEMS SO FAR AWAY
CANT WAIT!!!!!
BRILLIANT!!
I was at the rally, I live in Mallorca now.
