What about the Airport Vehicle Racing?

Oh but it sounds awsome as ever i should say

Cant believe this series has gone to fast

please can you put a range rover sport and jaguar estate x type around the track
thanks
ps your show is the best on tv

Yay, first comment!

please keep this mind1

ooooohhhhh this series has gone too fast but keep up the good work lads and make the next series even better!! thx for the laughs!

jeremy said eight episodes on the first show. What’s happend to that one?

so whens the next series out? i wish they wer 20 episodes long!!!!

SAD SO SAD ITS A SAD SAD SITUATION

i think next series they should be given 5 grand each to make a car

aww
no more top gear for along time :*(
oh well
cant w8 for the last :*)

I love ur show!

when’s lewis hamilton gunna be back on like he said last time he was there!

keep up the good work for next series

how come series are only 6/7 programs now why arnt they 10 programmes per series anymore and can we have more cars and less stars please kill that bit off wouldnt mind if decent ppl went on like roy chubby brown and peter kay and even lee evans but half of the stars are either unheard of washed up with nothing to do i mean who gives a damm about what cars jamie oliver has had and why he is trying to stop obeasity in schools just give us mroe power tests more cheap car challenges and MORE NEWS

Wait, there are lots of material left, that had been shown on the Series 13 preview!

The Corvette ZR1 vs. Audi R8 V10, the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, and the airport race. What happened to all that.

If they want to leave it for the next series, then why did they show it in the preview? Weird!

peugeot 9009 gotta test it great looking car!also try put jets on a vw campervan hippy style one’s!
this series has been awsome looking forward to the next one!!!!!!!!

looking forward to Leno and Clarkson in SIRPC.

The Top Gear Italian Job remake will be in the next series, going down sewers in Norn Irn.

skinna – i agree tehy should only have 3-5 pople a series then no dick head unheard of losers would come on.

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooo sade that this is the last episode!!!!!!!!

they have done this before (‘this’ being putting stuff in the preview, then not show it until a couple of series later).
The alfa Romeo 159
The thing that Hammond drove in Toyota City in Japan.
Im sure there are more but i cant remember any at the moment.
Also, the train message thing that Jeremy did was supposed to be shown earlier in the series but kept getting delayed.

yeah or even like when the new car come do a 10 min film of about a dozen or so ppl in the cars

hey where is the corvette ZR1??? it’d better be on or i will be so pissed off!! i have waited so long to see it throguhout the whole series and if it isn’t then i may never watch top gear again!! still the rest of the show looks promising

Well folks – there is no TG Awards I believe, so there must be another series at somepoint this year!!!!

I guess the airport stuff will be shown then.

Also, I think James should do some Cool Wall aswell. It would make it EVEN funnier.

Looking forward to SIARPC (Star in a Reasonably Priced Car). He is one of only a few American;s I like.

It says on Wikipedia that there will be a test of Aston Martin’s V12 Vantage. Tut tut TG – 5th Gear have already done theirs.

I think that the lacetti will be replaced next year because the liana lasted 7 series and series 13 is the lacettis 6th serires, so series 14 at the end of the year will be its 7th.

plus there are quite a lot of names already, not helped by when there were 2 guests per show in s11. Unless of course they cant replace the lacetti until the recession is over. Also, what will they replace it with? A Kia Sudoku?

Im very disappointed at the fact that there has only been 7 episodes

Also, Where was mantion of Audi’s R8 – I’ve been waiting for that all series and it says it is on Sunday on Wikipedia’s list of TG episodes.

Don’t let me down, boys!

I also think TG should make longer series’.

Shame will the be a another series this year like in 08.

Wonder what happened with Lewis Hamilton I remember he said on Chris Moyles show he was going to be on Top Gear again this July.

Didn’t you forget about 2 very important supercars here?

Aston Martin V12 Vantage
Ferrari Califonia

dont bother replacing the lacetti do us all a fovour and get rid of it keep the liana for the odd f1 star every other series but other than that SIRPC should be long gone

Hate it how dave cuts out the news or challengs bits which is the best bits of the show and shows a full 10 mins or so boring interview with sum wwashed up star

I agree with DD TG Fan:

The Liana was also 3 years old when they got rid, the Chevvy is nearly 4!

I’ve been looking at what they might replace it with and things can’t be bad.

Skoda Octavia 120bhp TSI. 0-60 in 9.7. £13k ish.
Fiat Bravo T Jet 120bhp. 0-60 in 9.6. £13,500
Fiat Bravo T Jet 150bhp. 0-60 in 8.5. £14k ish

Skinna’s right:

The Star can be good. But that is the bit Dave should cut out and leave tests and the news in.

In fact I can see a Top Gear Epic Race coming.

Jeremy racing the V12 Vantage to Maranello vs. Richard on a pogo stick and James on a Stig. The winner gets to test the California on the Fiorano test track.

Right?

The new reasonably priced car should be the basic Suzuki Swift. It’s cheap but quite sharp.

skinna thats nice

outoftheblue

I cant believe this series is over already!! 7 shows is not enough!!!

Need to make the series longer! 15 eps at least. Whens the next series? Sounds like a intresting last show anyways. Lets hope it is

i think that the reasonably priced cars should be a vectra vrx

ford mondeo they all like it at tg

i also think that the reasonably priced car should be a g-wiz

the mondeo is rubbish

skinna

A few things to consider

They lost a good amount of funding so to keep the show good they cut a few episodes off.

They VERY often have 2 seasons a year so look out for late December to early January. They do this because new cars come out all the time and if you just jam the series together with 13-14 episodes in a row you will miss a lot. Also remember the massive amounts of paperwork that must be needed for this show, and the fact that the men do do other things, Top Gear Live for example.

Whatever doesn’t make the show will make the DVD or the online videos so don’t be too worried we will see it eventually.

they should make the series’ 10 episodes-ish long EVERY series (ish being no less than 9 episodes long) but they should make the same amount of stuff they have for this series and ’stretch it out’ more so we get more detail on each bit and that would mean that it doesnt feel rushed like episode 1 of this series felt. also means we will get the cool wall more than once a series.

and NO for the g-wiz to be next RPC

I like the guy who said that the SIARPC should be in a G-Wiz. That would be hilarious! Alhough it would need to be recharged about 7 times before it could finish a lap.

wt about the airport veihcile race and the audi r8 v10 and the corvette zr1

come on, make it 12 shows in a series

hope it’s better than the last episode – man that sucked.

“Good News, the new Dacia Sandero,is reasonably priced too”

Another good news, there will be more of Top Gear, since they’re still filming material, for coming Series (the “Italian Job”-bit, sounds great).
They had me Worried, when they blogged about opening a “Top-Beer” Pub.

And i agree, with the “SIARPC” segment,Get some Petrolheads, not just anyone on promo-tour.Or at least pull it off like with Ronnie O’Sullivan,Or Jamie Oliver.That bit was at least Interesting/funny,even, if the guest looked like a boring guy.Or get Michael Gambon Back. Now that Dumbledore is Dead, He has enough time to Name the entire TG Track after him. Plus, he was entertaining.
I think, in this series, You overdid it with the Challenges,1 in each episode,is a bit too many, (i guess) to make them really good.(If i get used to it, i won’t see them as “Specials” anymore, and don’t give them the credit,they could deserve) Nice try though, cuz i used to love them, i really did.

where the hell is the AIRPORT RACE??????

however, a very poor series… looking forward to the 14th…

oh, well… poor except for the 17’s car and the classic rally of the last episode…

can i just say, for the next series of TG:
- less stars more cars
- more DIY challenges(I’m thinking getting cars to go UNDER WATER) and show the guys trying to do DIY
- races including trains/plains etc against a g-wiz, peel p50,1st fiat panda, basically pieces of crap.

Also, where is the end of series roadtrip?!

good series anyway, and I hope to be seeing TGTV soon.

Sad its the last one. Guessing Lewis will be on series later this year when F1 season is over. I know they have to keep the Liana for the F1 drivers but if the Lacetti is going to be replaced it needs a proper TOPGEAR send off… blow it up, sink it, send it to outer space etc.. Loved Sundays show, Hammond taking his chance to dish out the short jokes for once!!! Brilliant

Oh, and i’m with Slickrubber, GET A SANDERO

Haven’t been very impressed with some episodes in this series, and only 7 of them?! What’s going on?! I shall miss my Sunday nights with Top Gear and my bong

Or a SsangYong, any will do, just make the car AN AWFULL PIECE OF JUNK

Lewis Hamilton should *fingers crossed* be on, ’cause in the Daily Mirror this morning it said that he was to appear on there on Sunday!

Can’t wait for Series 14
Great job guys (Y)

this serious was to short i mean you have been off the air for months and only produced seven epososdes

I THINK I GOT AN IDEA
1. get cars
2. make cars all backwards, steering wheel + engin at the back.
3. then race them round the nurburge ring.

I am my hardest critic, but even I have to say, best IDEA ever.

I THINK I GOT AN IDEA

basically just put th body on backwards

I am my hardest critic, but even I have to say, best IDEA ever.

Audi R8 V10? Looking forward to that all series

Been a overall poor series. Roadtrip with R8 V10, Aston DBS and Ferrari California would have been miles better that the porche 1500 challenge redone with a Capri and fairlady instead – thought that was a particularly poor episode. We’ve seen it all before.

Run out of imagination boys. Some people do watch for the cars not the poorly scripted crappy challenges.

what about the r8 v10 vs the ‘vette zr-1 and the V12 Vantage? Been looking forward to the ‘vette doing a lap at the Tg test track…

It doesnt sound as good as I thought the last programme would be, but I will definatly watch it. Thanks for a good series, and hope you are back soon.

BRING BACK 10 EPISODES A SERIES!

you disappointed every single american who was desperately looking forward to the corvette zr1 smashing more expensive cars off the lap board.

i am american, and i was really anxious to see this when i saw it in the series 13 preview. and, what happened to the airport race? the woman in a bikini at a funeral procession? the aston martin v12 vantage? i’d rather see this than watch you all drive a 20 year old volvo, vw, and hyundai pretending to be 17.

i hope you saved these things over for series 14, which i assume would be in october or something.

please don’t let the petrolhead world down!

What about the ZR1 and the R8 V10???

Looking foward to ep07 but I think TG is running out of ideas sure ther is stuff that didnt get shown in this series like the ‘Airport Transport Racing’ film but I just hope they find more ideas for the show and is ther going to be a Series 14 looks like they’ll have to get back to testing cars only. MABEY ??? also I hear they r going to do an Italian Job remake :0

must be the budget(lack of)

looking forward to episode 7 boys but quick question why is the hamster starting to look more like captain slow with his hair style ???????

what happened to the R8 as well i rli wanted to see it

why havent they tested the ZR1 ??? I know they did a road trip to America and Jeremy drove it, but I want them to do a proper test of the car.

So i take it James is not going to review a car this series?

to be fair to topgear, 7 episodes is not bad as as series 11 was with only 6 episodes. also the credit crunch has affected them as they did mention at the beggining of the year it would do. things shown in the trailer that have not made it will most likely be in the next series as this is not the 1st time they show stuff and not put it on. my guess is series 14 will happen from end october / start of november, if so its only a 3 month wait and we had to wait 6 months for series 13. also check out youtube for out takes from the vietnam show, there good and should of been left in

Great serie so far, but in the previews, they’ve shown us clips of an R8 V10 against a Corvette ZR1, of the new Volkswagen Scirocco (that could be the Volkswagen commercial they’re talking about in the text) and a airport vehicule race/challenge….Where is all that brillant stuff gone???

its just like love, it never lasts long enough. then its over and you have to wait another year

i think that this series of top gear has been really funny and fantastic. maybe they have missed out a few things from the preview but so, they’ve done it before but then shown it. give them a chance, they’ve been giving us great telly for years.

they are busy, they do top gear live around the world every year and have family, children and a life.

if you want more top gear though, go to MPH with top gear live. at earls court london, and birmingham NEC.

i wonder if the volkswagen advert will be shown on telly?

owwww, TopGears going to be missed sadly but the last episode should be on fire

please ask dave to cut out the interviews and just see the lap and time and also please put the news on thats one of the best bits!!!!!!!!
thanx
owen

Since the “reasonably priced car” is supposed to be crap in the first place, how ’bout a run-off between the Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius (3rd gen) to be the next RPC?

by the way james thanx meens thankyou
lol

pleeeeeeeeeeeease tell us madison welch will be presenting!!!!

I actually preferred the 5th Gear series that’s been running at the same time. Didn’t think I’d ever say that, it just seems a bit more natural.

TG is just the same formula every week, it’s boring. Let’s do a challenge, oh no, something went wrong and May says “oh cock”. Then a star drives round and you just show the bleeps of them swearing. Ha how funny.

It’s a great way to end the series, but what happened to the airport vehicle racing segment that was teased in the first episode? Or is that going to be in the next series? Will we ever see the Stig’s Asian cousin that was teased in series 12? Perhaps you guys should make another episode based on the stuff that didn’t make the final cut.

Would like to see airport racing vechels as well, please add it to the web site if u won’t show it on tv.
Am looking forward to the cool wall.

How come the series isn’t as long as some of the older series? I swear they were 19-10 shows long!

Even though… Sounds BRILL!

what about the audi r8 v10 and the airport racing if you dont show them on tv please put them on the

ps topgears the best show on tv

hahaha iv’e seen it it’s dead funny i bursted out laughing love you’s you so funny.

Topgear is one of the best programs that the BBC does(funny, good fun and informational:D)
So why don’t they just make the series longer.
I’m sure you guys have the money so just do what everyone wants – ＬＯＮＧＥＲ　Ｓ� ��ＲＩＥＳ！！！

Nooooo! please don’t cut the airport vehicle race!

There have 7-8 shows in the summer then in winter they have 10 or 11 shows

BBC please scrap east enders and spend the cash on 10 programs we are being cheated with 7 its amazing tv and i dont care what else you have to cut please give the guys more cash so they can make many many more programs

Well done top gear 6 programs have been amazing

Hey guys, before you go out for this series, meet me at the Renault showroom barber for a coffee after the haircuts we all need so badly and then I will offer you a handsome pay rise to carry on with the next series. Really, on me! I will miss your shows for the time being but shall keep rewinding the recorded series when ever I am feeling blue.

Have a great time off and see you all next time.

where’s the scirocco? :S and the zr-1?

what about the funeral scene that was in the teaser at the start of the series? what was that all about?

Top Gear should:

Have 9 or 10 episodes PER SERIES, not every 2 series (not strictly true even, as last year, the series’ were 6 & 8 episodes long), but have less races and more cool wall and things like that.

NOT change the stig, unlike what #88 wants.

Ask the public (well TG viewers) who they want in the RPC. Also, new RPC but swap ‘F1 RPC’ from liana to lacetti.

Equal-ish amounts of messing about and ‘proper’ road tests.

Thats about it.

Oh, by the way, I am in Kenya where car jacking is a topic of chatting up someone. How about your next show stage an act to make people in other parts of the world to feel how it really feels, scary and dangerous. But Top Gear is very much popular with the local Kenyans! They pronounce Jeremy as Jelemy Cilaksan, Richard Hammond as Lichadi Hammondee and they think James May as James Maybe!

But guys, they try hard to put up a television show like your but no class at all.

Really, now I am home sick…. I coming James, this time it is the big one!!

the scirocco is part of the making an advert for VW, I think.

Stop criticising them!
You call yourselves ‘fans’…Well you blantently arn’t if you’re filling them with constant negativity!
It’s good that a few people are giving tg a few ideas to help them improve next series but a few are just bombarding them with shit!

Stop moaning. Just keep it to yourself!

Keep up the good work, and i can’t wait for next series

put more episodes per series not nesecary more tests but more detailed tests and more detailed news segments

Oh no its the last one in series 13. Its been a good series though and can’t waight for the next series.

Will there be a big race and a special like the vietnam one in the next series?

When will top gear be back?

Make it a good end to the series and a good series 14.

TOP GEAR IS ACE!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT ABOUT THE ASTON MARTIN V12 VANTAGE?

AND THE AIRPORT RACING?

lotta stuff seems 2 be missing, the V12 Vantage bit, The airport vehicles race, the audi R8 V10 vs the ZR1, and the VW scirocco… i was beginning 2 think all that in one episode wud be a blast…. watever happened to that… are u listening topgear???

7 shows!! thats not even 2 months. when r u guyz coming back??

well lads great show,well about blind fold richard hammond to drive a car around the track and jeremy gives the orders what way to go,great laugh ,new jocks ,needed after that for jeremy ,min speed 50 mph,well lads are u up for it ,lets no your answer,,thank again for a great show,,,,,,,,,,

what happened to the v12 vantage rs they was meant to b showing ??

i agree with ’stiggyrules’ where are all the supercars and airport racing stuff? it’s been good but i was looking forward to that

well one more for u a race may wing walking,from london to scotland and hammond in a nice car ,,,ha ha ha punto one litre ,,i love to see that one

WHERE IS THE AUDI R8 vs. CORVETTE ZR1?

I’d rather see fewer high-quality episodes than a long series with no money to spend. Wouldn’t you? But I agree, 7 episodes is really short. Maybe the Beeb’s cheques are bouncing…

Glad that Airport racing seems to have gone – sounded totally crap. But where is the V12 Vantage????

I know it was not the best series they made, but still it was a pritty good series.

Try to make it better next year lads JEREMY ROCKS I DONT THINK HES NEVER LOST A RACE.

And nice suit Stig man how is the Stig eny way?

TOP GEAR IS AWSOME.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  !!!!!!!!!!!11
THE LAST OF THE SERISE
I THOUGHT IT JUST STARTED
:’(

I was there to watch the filming today………

Clarkson said next series will be in NOVEMBER this year !!!!

Great show keep up the good work

top gear is so boring now

I Think that they are running out of ideas for the cheap car challenges, which is a shame. The one for 17yr olds was quite good tho, but i cant see a 17 yr old with a volvo estate, but this is TG. Can see someone with James’ Golf though.

No New Gti? or the GTD? …
No Audi TT-RS?
R8 – V10?
New E63 AMG?
BMW X6 M SPORT?

need more super cars

top gear is getting so shit

7 episodes is not enough they had better bring out the next series soon and make it dam long.

I’m hugely disappointed. Not because it’s over, that was inevitable, but because the trailer lied.

V12 Vantage? R8 V10? Scirocco? All present in the trailer, which means they were shot at some point, but not making the cut. (I also heard much about a certain ZR-1 being sent around the track)

Not to mention airport vehicle racing – which I don’t care much for, but still.

That’s another thing, I know the NEW Top Gear is all about entertainment and tomfoolery, but you’ve deviated too far from the cars this time. How many opportunities are there for the boys to buy ‘this sort of car’ for a budget of ‘this sort of money’ and compete in a ’series of challenges’. It was overdone this time – not enough power tests, in spite of there being so many cars out this year.

What about the new Camaro? How about the Peel P50 vs the Tata Nano?

Losing your touch, boys.

So, no Black Stig returning then? Shame because that YouTube video from February was very convincing…

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO, my life is going to end!!!! This series was short but great, no doubt!!!! Great job!!! I hope there is a next series!!! I am going to be bored for a long time now, great!!!!

@Someone

I absolutely agree. More DIY challenges!

Gotta love TG!

Episodes 5 and 6 were just THE best… the classic cars, Madison welch, and now Jay Leno!…and damm… last episode!.. ah well… we’ll just hav to wait for TG S 14!!!

Top gear really have lost touch with what is happening in the car industry. There has been far too much cocking about in this series and they have missed out on some awesome car launches.

I really hope they sort themselves out for the next series and get back to what they do best.

w

I absolutely can’t wait! The Volkswagen ad seems really funny!

Shame that it’s the last episode of the series though.

where is all the cool stuff that was in the preview?!?! No R8? No ZR1? No Sirocco? What gives?!

Not to mention the v12 vantage…. The ZR1 probably was cut because it was actually fast around the track and Jeremy cant stand to have any American car shown in a good light, which meant the footage with the R8 v10 would have to be scrapped as well since it showed both of them racing with one another, or at least mucking about.

heeeeey…series 10 had 10 episodes. oh well. blame the budget cuts.

noooo i will just have 2 spend my evenings wayching the repeats on dave and where were the corvete zr1 and the vantage rs and the r8 v10?????????

Sad to see another great season come and go. Would you move the airport vehicle racing to the first episode of Season 14?? Please??

Why do you want to end it so soon? Is there no holiday special?

Re: Natalie at #110.

Yes, dear, we call ourselves fans. We do not, however, call ourselves blithering idiots who are incapable of discerning the good from the not-so-good. Jumping on here week after week bitching and complaining is only problematic if it is merely criticism, and not constructive criticism. The latter is not only valid, it is precisely the point of these forums. Note that they didn’t preface their request for viewer feedback by saying, “What we’d really find useful is for a bunch of semi-literate chavs and chav-ettes to write four hundred comments stroking us off every week, without actually telling us anything relevant to how we’re doing with the show”.

Giving praise where its due is just as important, of course—to this end, I myself always make a point of chiming in after a proper episode about, you know, cars and driving and such (what a concept on TG…a rarity these days), thanking them for remembering those of us who’ve been here with them from day one. But if even the episodes that the creators themselves acknowledge as dogs are fawned over as being every bit as brilliant as the very best that this show has to offer…how exactly does that help them? You’re really not giving Misters Wilman and Clarkson very much credit, are you? Look, these are very, very bright men. And they are very honest, and uncommonly (for the television industry) self-aware. They themselves sense when things are not up to snuff, and often times will admit it in retrospect. It’s the “LOL! BEST SHOW EVER!” comments after every middling sketch-comedy-laden episode that are conspiring to ruin this show—in fact, for a time during the dark days of series eight and nine, it looked as though you lot had succeeded.

Understand that kicking someone in the wedding veg and screaming at them is not exactly the same thing as providing constructive criticism *when asked* (as they did, and still do). And that pages worth of gushing drivel week after week, even after shows that the creators themselves know were dogs, is every bit as tiresome and every bit as toxic to this show’s health. In fact, I dare say more so.

what about the new R8?

Well………. 6 episodes already, wow, how time flys when your cocking about in cars, I would like to see a best of Top Gear Cockups and out-takes, those left lying on the cutting room floor, also the return of the top gear awards…. Note No Caravan carnage this series…

Shame its the last in the series. I guess the missing stuff from trailer will come out in series 14. Talking of series 14, (Ideas for producers) why dont Hammond, May and Clarkson get given £1,500 to go and buy a old small car (like Toyota Aygo or Smart Car)?

Star In A Reaonably Priced Car needs actual Celebs. I mean, who was that ACDC guy. Please get someone like Peter Kay, a Football player, or a well-nown bloke. Why not try the ones who did it in the Laceti come back to have a go in the newone. Also, plz change the car to a Fiat, VW Golf etc.

Cool Wall:

LET JAMES DO IT(TO MAKE IT FUNNIER).
DO IT MORE OFTEN(AND MORE CARS).
USE DB9 FRIDGE TO STORE MORE XTRA- COOL CARS LIKE FIAT 500.
AND MORE CHAINSAWS!

Also, could you plz get the new Buggati Veyron over at the track cos power-tests are starting (the only part on the show) to lag a bit. And could Hamster and Captin Slow to the tests more aswell as Clarkson.Plz get some new and, of corse, fast cars.

And I totaly disagree with the old codswallop that other people thought and wrote about the 13th series saying it was crap. It was one of the best series yet(Actually, all of them have been great). And could you make the new series 10-12 episodes long and have a 2 hour fanalie so we have something to look forward to in the end of September, October, November or early December. Fantastic job and see you in the Autumn!!!!

wats happen to top gear, its still great but remember were u come from i know all these challenges are suppose to increase the target audience and these crap shit boxes are due to the times but don’t forget the power test of the cars we can’t all afford if i want to know how a honda or fiat drives i’ll go and book a test drive i don’t like my chances however of getting to test the new california or Audi R8 V10

Really was looking forward to the ZR1 vs. R8 and the V12 Vantage…

Last two episodes we’re a bit so-so…

Atleast we get Jay and a Sciroc

Im going to miss Top Gear on a sunday.But im glad the cool wall is back.

new RPC must the new Cruze, already a World Touring car

what about the r8 v10???

*The Guvna*

I understand where your coming from and i entirely agree that Mr Wilman, Clarkson and co. are very intelligent and that they make the best show on t.v! But it just rattles my cage when a small minority leave comments such as “This series has been shit”. Yes, there is always room for improvement and they could do with some ‘constructive criticism’ to improve the show but there is no need to come out with such comments!

Oh, and i’m not a Chav or Chavette.
I despise them!

Thats WAY to quick im upset

Fantastic series boys.
I don’t understand because in the trailer lots more stuff was featured.
Will you be showing this?

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I MISS TOPGEAR MAN AND I LOVE THAT PROGRAMME SO MUCH AND ITS MAKING ME UPSET NOW.

I WISH THERE COULD BE MORE

I LOVE THAT SHOW SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH YEAH

ALI MAN

PLEASE DONT GOOOOOOOOOOO

Why so few episodes? Come on guys make more episodes in the series like it was on the earlier seasons.
So sad to have to wait again until you are back. Gonna miss you.

when are you’s coming to belfast and is the honda integra still the best handling front wheel drive car

So is this the last Season.hope there r more seasons comeing up.

Ooo no sad to see the series is ending very soon

what about the r8 5.2 fsi and zr1?

They like hot hatches on TG so i think theyll test the GTI and GTD next series, and perhaps theyll find another one to have a 3-way test for all 3 to test.

im going to kidnap the producers and force them to make more episodes

top gear lads you should get a used toyota picnic for next year’s first show guys

I was very lucky that a friend got me a ticket to watch the making of this last episode…
480,000 on the waiting list and that would take 68 years to get through so I felt very lucky indeed.

Filming was great. Very professional and a good laugh too!!!!

Thanks for the opportunity.

Dan

Come one guys… I’ve been waiting for the V10 R8 and the ZR1 for the whole series. you have got to add one more episode. Maybe as a surprise for the viewers. DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

Im sooo upset I have to miss it Sunday im going camping i will actually cry :’(

So The summer season is over and although there will be an autumn season, it will be once again ruined by Top Gear Live where we’ll all flock to see them even when we know the programme will be soso and that the men themselves have to be worn out.
The mixed bill proves that theatrical charisma is no guarantee of sound programming. Truth is, it’s samey and sentimental.
Which all demonstrates what we’ve always know, which is that even stars like Clarkson, May and Hammond need good advice and a good rest.

Still hav not tested the new MG TF around the track yet!

What? Last show already? c’mon for f*ck sake!!! We need more episodes in a series, c’mon BBC you penny pinching c**ts, less money for Jonathan Ross & more for Top Gear!!!! NOW!!!!

they have to show that video in the news this week i f***ing love it

WTF? SEVEN EPISODES??? WHERE IS THE R8 V10 AND CORVETTE ZR1??? AND WHAT ABOUT THE AIRPORT TRANSPORT RACE AND THE ITALIAN JOB REMAKE??? WHY BOTHER SHOWING IT IN A PREVIEW IF YOU ARENT GOING TO SHOW IT IN AN EPISODE??? CMON BBC, LESS MONEY FOR JONATHAN ROSS AND GRAHAM NORTON AND MORE FOR TOP GEAR TO MAKE MORE EPISODES!!!

How come in the cheap car challenges you guys never buy a ford probe, you could get a decent one of those on ebay for about 500…i also seem to remember that back in the day clarkson gave it a glowing review and said “it’s beautiful enough to snap knicker elastic at 100 yards”
Come on guys, you know it makes sense…

Am soooooooo sad thats its the last programme on Sunday:( I love the show guys:) What do people mean that you’re losing your touch, thats a load of rot! In the next series why not do more small car challenges and road tests as well as supercars!!! love the show bye:):)

LOVE THE SHOW BOYS, NEXT SERIES WHY NOT DO MORE STUFF WITH SMALL CARS!!! BYE

Top Gear is an entertainment show, if you really want to know about performance cars read EVO.

This series has been way too short guys. And where is the airport race!!

Can you save the challenges up a bit, they used to be special. I dont think this series has been the best to be honest other than the Focus RS and the rally

Otherwise its still my favourite show on telly, just make it how you did a few series ago!!

Why bother showing stuff in the preview of the series if your not going to put it in the episodes! This series has been the worst for a while

Come on guys you are loosing your touch

When will the new season begin? I can`t wait for more TG…

here is what was suppost to be in the series
enjoy!

I think 10 hour long episodes in a series then a further 10 half hours, so there are 30 weeks of TG a year!

what for top gear series 14?
each given £7,500 buy a car then turn it into a race car and compete in a race.

5 minutes for guest not 15 minutes

2hr mega episode at the end for big road trip

more car tests by hammond and may on the track

cool wall

more challanges like 17 year old one

which is faster to scotland starting at lands end car plane public transport or other?

Some info on the Italian Job minis…… http://www.belfasttelegra ph.co.uk/entertainment/fi lm-tv/news/top-gear-team- planning-italian-job-in-b elfasts-sewers-14424908.h tml

Can anybody help me? I want to break the World Record at driving in reverse for the longest distance but have no idea how to go about it.Ive been on the Record websites & still none the wiser. Would appreciate it if someone could tell me, thanks.
P.S I would love to do it on the Top Gear track..

I think in 1 of the series 2 come, the boys should be given £1,500 to buy any car and drive it from John O’ Groats (the tip of Scotland) all the way down 2 Leuca (the heel of Italy) Which is 2′150 miles. Tht would be like the best race ever

Plz think about my idea

Looking at the rehearsal fotos…
Why wud anyone wanna watch a Vauxhall truck over the ZR1!?!?
Who doesnt wanna watch a 100K vette be fastest around the track!?!?
I’m very sad atm…

Don’t underestimate that Maloo.

Those things are basically a VXR8 (HSV Clubsport) with a pickup bed–same car, different body. Still fast.

7 episodes is SO NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  !!
WHY ONLY 7?

i am soo sad that it is the end and i am a big fan

I personally would love to see more episodes,BUT you have had a budget cut and coming up with new ideas all the time is really hard,some criticism this time of being “samey” so if there were more eps i’m guessing more critics??? i’d love more,i can watch you any day and tbh even if you are a bit “samey” you still make me laugh and i really love the show. Would like to see James doing another power test,and Richard doing something daring like the lightning strike/sinking car/bobsleigh run. Lookin forward to the next series!!!

I agree with 154- Whatever happed to the ZR1 and R8 V10 duel we were supposed to see?

Oh well, i guess they’ve shelved that for the next series just like what they did with the Alfa 159 and BTCC clips…

Still, putting America’s no. 1 petrolhead in the Lacetti should be a blast and thank God they decided to put the cool wall back on! Let’s try to have it more often in the next series, eh?

Biggest tg fan ever wrong keep this stig he’s awsome

the best program, with the best presenters and stuff the get up to is imensely funny and i dont wont the show to end !the stig to light olympic flame!

Sorry this is off topic….. i love the rehearsals galleries of pics that you put up every week,but have you noticed,in almost every one of the boys in the studio there’s a cup of tea or can of drink around!!! its a wonder they get time for any programme making lol…

WHat happened to the aston v12 vantage? They had it in the series preview trailer.

Yay roll on Sunday and looking forwards to seeing Jay Leno. Like most people I’m sad it’s all over so quickly, but I do have to make a point to all those screaming for more episodes. Fair enough wanting to see more of the programme, but spare a thought for the team too especially the presenters because they already have enough to do as it is. Some of you people might not realise just how long it can take to put a piece of film together of a challenge and race for even a short film. Also the we might want to see the boys i.e. James on tv quite a bit, but also spare a thought for them because they do do a lot especially when they’re also filming for other programmes and doing live appearences too. So we perhaps should allow them a little break now and then because they do need their own time . Seeing and hearing about James with his Chelsea project did bring that sort of thing to realisation for me about how much work they do have to do.

Anyway looking forwards to the next series whenever that airs. No hurry for me.

No 198 Lisa-loo they need all the tea they can get (caffeine) to get them through the long day .

So, what about the airport racing and the girls in bikinis with a coffin? is all of that going to be in there somewhere as well? I don’t want a repeat of Communist Stig from last series. That was disappointing to say the least.

Like most other people I have to ask…WHAT ABOUT THE AUDI R8 V10 WICH JEREMY CLAMED TO BE QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST SUPERCAR HE’D EVER DRIVEN IN A RECENT TG MAGASINE ARTICLE???

There has been far too much cocking about in this series. I dont think TG can ever get the balance right.

I think, and hope that there will be another season later this year … [ Like last year ] …
And that they will show the R8 V10, ZR1, Airport Vehicle Race, and other stuff then ….

Anyway, looking farward to this wekks show …
TG Is the BEST … !

well done chaps u did a good job this series, even though i want it to last longer but still, nice one and good luck next series

While driving on narrow Cornish roads a few days ago we came bonnet to bonnet with a Ford GT and wondered if it was Clarkson. Given that there are only 28 or so GTs in the UK and he pledged to drive his, seemed feasible, though we didn’t hear “poweeerrrr.” If not, it makes me shudder that there’s someone nuttier than he is, driving such a magnificent machine on narrow farm lanes!

i was at the filming on wednesday and had an absolute blast i am looking forward to the airing on sunday…y ou have definately done a fantastic job on the whole series and i am sure everyone will love this weeks episode…it ws brilliant (and not just saying that cos i was there!)

This is a good seires, but not to good

AAAAAAAA TOP GEAR JUST STARTED HOW CCAN IT END NOW ? Loooool. this time. make the shows quickly !

This series have kinda flopped. but its still good to watch.

WHAAAAAAAT?!
it can’t be the last in the current series!!
it’s only just started!..
:(

anyway, what a brilliant series as always, i hope you make the next series soon and pleeeasse make more then 7 episodes?!
Jeremy, James, Richard..
i love you. :P

the good woirk? lost in satelite transmission, that one!

whens the italian job thank you so much top gear team for seven brilliant episodes

this series has gone unbelievebly quick!
i just hope that next series is even better,but i don’t know how their gonna do it…

What about the Aston V12 Vantage?
And please, more new cars and less challenges:).

wheres R8 V10?

Great series as always cant beleive its finished already 7 shows is no where near enough. A couple of things i would like to see next series are
More power tests
shorter interviews or scrap it altogether
a big race [have 1 every series]
more drag races
cool wall every few weeks
longer news
dont waste any track time on cars like lotus’s and have every series 10 shows long.

i am a massive fan of top gear and make sure i don’t miss a min, but this series has just been a wash of stupid challenges, what ever happened to testing cars!! and is it my imagination or are there less and less episodes in each series? soon it will just be 3 old blokes dicking around once a year!!!

has topgear gotten rid of an episode, they’ve missed out so many major cars that FIFTH GEAR covered, even if it was badly, vantage V12. Is it me or do some of the interviews last for 15 minutes, which is way to long

No audi r8 v10 ? no airport racing ?… WHAT IS HAPENING IF YOU NOT SHOWING IT WHY BUT IT IN THE SERIES MONTAGE !!!

DISAPOINTING !!!

where is the audi and corvettte i bought the mag showing what would be in this series and so far half the stuff hasnt even been shown. what is with that holden pick-up looks crap—- more supercars, news and challenges…. please

http://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=Hw4HgCn9dbQ there is a clip of the R8 and the zr1 bein tested in this in series 13

put top gear back on

Yes, this series has passed far too quickly.
James May especially has really made me laugh – I was so jealous of the co-driver last week!

i am really hoping Madison will start being a regular now! and so is the rest of this office where i work!

You should get x USD and buy old luxury cars, such as Daimler 1999 Super 8 etc

gone too fast, to make it worse no F1 till the near end of august

It’s gone so fast and i’ve been enjoying it soooo much. Please do a show about oliver in the next series pleaseeeeeeeee

If im honest, I dont know if its TG fault for not making enough episodes or if the BBC are not allowing them to make an more episodes.

This was the BEST series yet! I cant believe its over already!

I really agree with post #87 The biggest TG fan ever.

I Liked the Ideas very much. especially that all three should interview the star in the reasonably priced car, and that the interview should be shorter. THIS IS A MOTORING SHOW NOT A TALKSHOW FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  !!!!!!!!!!!!

This morning there was an article in the Gloucestershire Echo about BSM replacing its fleet of cars with Fiat 500s. After seeing this I said to my family that I was certain Top Gear would pick up on this AND they have!

In the corner of this picture you can see on the TV screen the back of the Fiat 500:

This is what the actual car looks like:

(You have to scroll down the page a bit!)

COULD YOU PLZ PUT LEE EVANS IN STAR IN A REASONLY PRICED CAR PLZ HES THE FUNNIEST GUY IN THE WORLD AND WHY IS THE SERIES ENDING SO SOON IT SHOULD BE ON ALL YEAR ROUND

THXS FOR ALL THE OTHER SERIES JEREMY,RICHARD,JAMES,TOP GEAR DOG AND OF COURSE THE STIG

come on guys after showing us the previews in magazine 193 we thought that no.13 was going to be great. it was great but think of the things you said you would do that you arent. come on topgear it has gone so well this year, why spoil it now?

I hate fithgear but still agree that maybe you need to cover the new supercars which is what tg is ment to be about
please cut down the interviews and in the chalenges James and richard should drive the car and Jeremy should get a different mode of transport and the stig should be in the chalenges aswell
thanks
ozzy

Let’s see more of the tg dog it is emence
Also please test more bugatties and konigseggs however you spell that
thanks hope to see tg live !!!!! Cya

i think that the mclaren f1 vs the bugatti veyron was sikkkk

I’ve had a crazy idea for the next series…. in the past we’ve already seen them convert cars into boats, and take them across a Reservoir + the English Channel.

How about for a future episode giving Clarkson, Hammond & May some money to buy a boat each……. then give them the challenge of turning them into cars – that can still be used as a boat. Then letting them loose in the Lake District or around Loch Ness. Or the Great Lakes in North America.

Did you guys really forget about Airport Vehicle Racing ???

And where is the Audi R8 V10 vs. Corvette thing ?????

It would be seriously disappointing if you guys won’t show the R8 V10 and the Airport Vehicle Race !!! You could almost make a complete new episode out of that … So just make another one… Where’s the point of filming it (and it has been, it was in the preview) and therefore spending money for production and all that stuff, when you’re not going to show it ???
…

is this the last season?

some road test are going to be left for nesxt series, like the v12 vantage, if you watch very carefully on the preview video of top gear series 13, and the airport vehicle racing.

Sounds like the best top gear show in any of your series.
ROCK ON TOP GEAR!

What happened to the R8 v10 and ZR1? I NEED to see that as well as the v12 vantage. And SLR stirling moss

Top Gear Rocks!

i think the celebrity thing is boring and because the bbc dont do ad brakes that is the time on top gear when i go do the things in an ad break

Scrap the siarpc, its now a waste of time that could be better used for more car action, series way too short and getting a bit mundane.

*sad face* *sniff* *big puppy dog eyes*
What am I going to watch on a sunday now?
Glad you’ve brought the cool wall back, and looking forward to the show, but I’m just disappointed that I’m not going to get my weekly car fix or see you three on the TV!
Make it a good one!
*sad face* *sniffs*

the best of all tv program is top gear we love you in cyprus i hope you come again

i just wana say that this was a great series even though it was short.were all looking forward to the new roadtrip please come to KUWAIT

I was watching the new z4 in its race with the 370. Clarkson said the bm was an auto, yet on every turn, the Stig shifted gear. Why bother in an “auto” as they say.

And another thing:
WHERE IS THE CADBURYS ADVERT RACE!!!!

I really hesitate to say this, and I have done, but the latest series has been a big disappointment. The repartee, the challenges etc simply lack sparkle. The interviews are dragged out too long as are the challenges to fill time. I’m sure the presenters & production team know it. Something is missing. Interest maybe? Are Richard, James & Jeremy too involved in other projects?

why oh why does it have to be the last one i watch 4 episodes of top gear a day. i was hoping there was another cheap car challenge or a race i just wish that they never stop topgear.i hope that they never change the presenters or the stig in the next series well done top gear give your self a pat on your back

This is just so bad because how u guys end it at this point, this series was such a good one.when was is your next series going to start.

Ryan Cunnan

I’m an 18 year old female engineering student in Sydney and Top Gear UK (even to the latest episode that I was required to torrent for) has actually made me like cars….all thanks to the comedy…and the supercars…and the Stig.

p.s Top Gear Australia sucks in my opinion.
p.s.s Thanks Top Gear (UK!) for another stomach ripping, hilarious series and I am extra extra sad at the fact it ends…in a few hours D:

To be honest im glad that the series of this year has ended! So BBC2 have room for programs that we actually like and not forsed to watch as a result of our bordem. I actually did give Top Gear a chance and actually DID watch one episode and thought it was a bag of wank! For poor people to watch cars that they cant afford on a sunday evening. Put this show to a end!
By your number 1 fan

when are you guys gonna do a rally,, like the 24 hour britcar race but better, some of the british events are done on a fri/sat format, id love to see 2 of you try to co-operate a 300bhp rally car through a forest, award winning telly it must be!!!!

why don’t you make a late night special. You could say what you like,without the beeps and you could show us what Jezza actually finds on the net.

Where’s the ZR1?

I wanted to see the STIG do a lap in the ZR1. I thought Jay Leno and ZR1 in the same episode would be epic.

ZR1 was featured in the previews in the very first episode. Still hoping to see the ZR1 in the hands of the STIG.

Why cant there be lads more top gear this series has gone way to fast i cant wait for the net series it will be great!

what happened to Hamilton coming bac to do another lap it said that he was coming back in the top gear f1 magzine?

sundays show sound absolutley amazing i really cant wait, and finally the cool walls back ive been looking forward to that all series but, i dont believe that hammond and jezza ain gonna argue thats just not top gear cuz’ theres always an argument about the cool wall:)

Anyway cant wait till sunday and when thats all over its back to the repeats on Dave cuz yu can never have to much top gear the shows amazing and i love it. keep you the great work boys love you all and will see you in the autunm. Cant wait!!!!

love you always. Lauren xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

#253 cyprushector Yep they have. James has been very busy this year with his Toy Stories and other projects too. So really the boys do need a break.

Where the hell is the top gear special. its all well and good just being the regular show but u always look forward to a bit of something different at the end as a big finally.

good i love u top gear very good work i see all episode in iran and love it

The Corvette ZR1!

Do it, Just do it!

Where’s the AM Vantage RS? ARRRGGHHHH!! Should still be cool though

iam from cairo
i know what u thinking right now ??
yes and many more r still watchin’ the show here
good work guys hope u make series till u drop
thanks and good luck.

There should be more episodes!

I agree with Tommo but at the moment I am on holiday abroad so I cant watch Top Gear until I get home!!

Sooooooooooooo sad guys!!!!even my girlfriend who hates cars decided to watch coz u make her laugh loads,same here i needn’t say….do u guys read this? if so please know that i’m ever so glad that TG exists and would stop watching if anyone else were to present it.
hopefully eason 14 will b in november as i doooo wait all week for sunday evening,who would believe people are happy come sunday night eh?
KEEP UP the excellent work,don’t disapear as my heart goes out to you all

I want to see the koenigsegg ccxr go round the top gear track!

I think a challenge should be TOP GEAR vs 5th GEAR.

My husband also thinks filming a car from multiple angles blowing in super slow motion to something soothing and classical would be nice.

Or driving a car off a cliff like in the Avengers/professionals/Ra ndal and Hopkirk/the Champions.

(he doesn’t car for cars much)

Best production on a show ever. Miss the big “specials” though.

I am very disappointed that the series is ending after so few episodes! I’m slowly converting my friends into TG fans (we watch on BBC-US) and this short series isn’t going to help win over fans as much as the longer series that usually include an epic filmed piece. I understand this is because of the economy, but hopefully the longer filmed pieces will return next year.

Is it sad that I want the economy to get better because I want more TG episodes ??

Keep up the great work and I’ll try to remember that even a short series is better than no TG at all. Cheers.

You know, TG was amazing but now it is too short and crap. I am switching to fifth gear because of your crapness.

YOU ARE ALL SO RIGHT.

TOP GEAR IS S BRILLIANT, WHERE HAS THE LAST SEVEN WEEKS GONE TO?

YOU MUST SHOW ALL THE STUFF YOU DIDN’T SHOW BUT PROMISED WHILE YOU MAKE SERIES 14.

why i thought yous guys always did something big at the end of the series but all you have is a c**k with four rings on it and a bbq thats named after a race track

why i thought yous guys always did something big at the end of the series but all you have is a c**k with four rings on it and a bbq

how about a w16 powerd toster agenst a bugatti and a dog chaseing a cat

If they dont test the corvette zr1 and audi r8 v10 i’m going to tear someone’s head off oh yes and i am so nervous with exitement about top gear testing the zr1 it should be able to break 1.19 i’m hopeing fingers crossed that it will break the lap record.

what did all the car crashs have in common???

Pity, lasr show is so boring that in the middle of the slow I went to my office to type this mail

and went druck so I made several typos

Hi there,

I was shocked that today’s episode was the last episode of the season…

Now the show ended. Jeremy didn’t say much while driving the Aston Martin Vantage… what he said stuck with me. “I think what i’m driving here is ending” Did he mean Aston Martin making fast cars or Top Gear the show?

Why was this season so short?

as i previously wrote i love tg outrageously,am a fan,don’t often,IF EVER!!!! diss on what i like,logic,for a last show that was utter crap,deception deception
obviously the love isn’t shared

Here we are the last show and its going to beeeeeeeee
drum roll
CRAAAAAP!!!!!

Jairo Martinez thats what im wondering too.

I really hope this isn’t the end of top gear.

Wow….I’m a Hu Hu Huge TG Fan but this final episode was soooo dull a void of ideas. The boy’s (well Jeremy anyway) like an explosion, this episode was more like a lead balloon – VW commercial???? and what last was the Aston Martin piece all about???/

true jairo,it stuck to me too,i think he meant that am wont continue making such cars if limitations etc continue to push potential clients away,not the last tg,mind u if the rest is like that episode,well,sad days are to come!!!

wow guys,whats happened????

I thought the same thing as above. Has the show endded

What just happend. were is my show. 1) this show was pants … 2) the ending left me gob smacked and stunned … WTF …

I suppose it is inevitable that with every new TG series it becomes more difficult to come up with fresh, new and original ideas and angles on cars. I mean: how many different challenges and races can you dream up? Compared to previous series, I found series 13 only mediocre –if not to say rather poor. Also I think the money / credit crunch is beginning to show a little bit more nowadays. The sky no longer seems to be the limit. There’s less new supercars being developed the last couple of years, so you tend to see the same “old ones” (such as Veyrons, Zonda’s, Murcielagos, DB9’s) more and more and no matter how spectacular and exotic they are, the novelty is starting to wear off a little bit. Perhaps TG should start to focus more on historical race and supercars such as the Porsche 917, the Jaguar XJR9, the Porsches 935, 956 and 962C and the 1999 Toyota GT One, to mention a few. I truly hope that the BBC does not axe it’s best watched and top selling show and that there will be a TG series 14 soon. Until then I wil continue watching all previous series on my PC. I salute messrs. Clarkson, Hammond and May. May they live forever. Forza Top Gear. An avid Dutch petrolhead and Top Gear fan.

As a fan of TG i thought this show was really disappointing. It started well but i lost interest halfway through the VW ad, what was the point in it.

I am going to miss it too.

As for no challenges, what about last week and the time rally? Even my wife was laughing at that! It was brilliant comic timing throughout.

Personally I thought the Vantage review was a really powerful ending and it mad me sad too.

I agree with JCs comment about army compensation and I hadn’t even thought of shooting a speed camera until now

This last ep was really poor…..
Old horseface causes chaos when he cant say anything clever. Bit like a little kid really…

Respect to the guys who put the Aston Martin clip together, you tweek the emotions.

Anyone know who the artist was that did the music for the end scene?

Looks like a lot of people here were a bit put off by the Aston film. I thought it was brilliant, in fact one of the best films I’ve seen on TG! It actually reminds me of the episode with the “worlds best driving road” (10×01), and the bit where at the end they shoot just the road in front of the car, no car noise, just beautiful music. I thought that was pure magic, and so was this.

Like someone hinted at above, you can only do the same thing so many times. They could easily have done a film with Clarkson going on about the power, how they managed to fit the V12 under the bonnet using CAD-computering, how Aston (and Britain) makes the most beautiful cars in the world and so on, ended the series in a load of tyre smoke or some “bombshell”, guitars ringing out the jessica-jingle, and we’d be all looking forward to November or December.

But what they did was to end the series in an intelligent, eerie, sinister and sad but beautiful way. It was actually very moving, and it was refreshing and different. The images were more powerful than any words could convey, and that’s why Clarkson was silent.

It makes me think of what an incredible production team Top Gear has, and why no other motor show can touch it. (Please, BBC, don’t cut funding, this is world class.)

Just watch the first episode from 2002 and compare it with this. How they’ve grown..

An idea for the next series, perhaps.
A little while ago, it was reported that 60163 “Tornado”, the steam locomotive in the first episode from Series 13, had been invited by the German railway operator (Deutschesbundesbahn, I think?) to go over there and run ‘as fast as it liked’. I think, as it has many modifications over the 1940s original, and only steamed for the first time this year, that a race between it (with Jeremy on board), Stig in the Jaguar XF (either V8 model), Richard on a modern Triumph bike and James in a suitably fast plane (of course, the British don’t make them any more!). Then you can go bananas with the war jokes…

I didnt expect that at all. I thought it was so different to the usual endings it was actually good.

But anyway, love the show and will always support it no matter what it does.

btw richard…i think its time you got a haircut! you will end up looking like James! as much as i love him.

OH, has anyone been to the WORLD OF TOP GEAR down in Beaulieu? I have, i wouldn’t recomend going just for top gear though as it is very expensive. go to see everything there.

lastly, i agree with what ‘biggest TG fan EVER!’ said quite a way up the page apart from the ‘new stig’

NO WAY SHOULD THERE BE A NEW STIG. THE STIG WE HAVE NOW IS AMAZING.

I also agree with what someone else said about there not being enough material and new stuff…. i think that is why they ‘ revealed’ the stig. it just filled in a gap.

Well said ‘Ole M. Hoel’

Ditto above.

I thought the Aston Martin film was outstanding. Very moving and thought provoking. Jeremy’s point about the V12 being an ending is a very sad thought – with EU legislation and emmissions controls etc, these sort of cars won’t exist in the future. Something needs to be done to ensure these sort of cars don’t become extinct.

How about Jezza or Hammond coming out to Australia to test the FPV F6 or GT.
Even on the next round of Top Gear Live shows, slot in a day or 3 off and test something better than the Holdens.

Y’know what? I wouldn’t bet against epsiode 8 magically appearing next week.

its true the internet and tv rot your brain judging by the comments here.
The bit of film was saying ‘end of an era for those types of cars’
This could be interpreted as due to credit crunch , falling house prices , over regulation , speed cameras etc etc.
but as per usual people head off on a moronic tangent…

do not make it the end for top gear its the best show and the funny from its good

I waited the whole series for the Audi R8 V10 … and it never came. Never… ever … ever have I been so disappointed with TG. The R8 with a V8 quite possibly can be the most user friendly supercar out there, with just one parameter where it could have done better – power. Now that it had a more powerful brother, you left it out. Such an incredibly stupid decision that I don’t think there is even harsh enough way to criticize such lunacy.

I bet there was some utter pillock who said: “I know, in the last episode lets not show the Audi R8 V10 and Corvette ZR1… Let’s show a Vauxhall that looks embarrassing and sounds like it’s dying AND accompany it with a Maloo that nobody has ever heard of and nobody with good eyesight will ever buy.”

To top that, you had to put Richard Hammond to test these cars on his own – he is funny when he is with Jeremy – on his own … he is not. It was a complete waste of everyone’s time to showcase those cars. I mean who would buy that ridiculous blue, hill billy pickup? I would not have it in my drive way, even it was free. Seriously I would not accept that as it would be too embarrassing to get rid of it.

To top the sad little story of Maloo they set it up in (I guess in a 1/2 mile) drag race against Audi S4 to demonstrate what would happen if you would find yourself next to S4 in traffic lights. In reality the Audi has much more traction of the line and you would loose … yes you would loose and the S4 driver would laugh at you and your co-driver … the sheep.

Sure later on the Maloo gains and goes past the Audi which is expected since it has more power, but then it should have as it has a 6.2 liter engine compared to 3.0 in the Audi… I guess it is not only the Americans who can get incredibly little power out of big V8s – the aussies have this talent as well.

The car ad bit seemed a bit stretched and none of the ads really were that insightful or funny as I expected (TG is an insightful and funny show).

I enjoyed only the last bit with the Aston – it was perfect – No words are needed to describe that car – just look at it.

I dont mind the R8 V10 or the V12 vantage. It’s not much to get me hyped unless audi makes a more powerful and lighter V8 R8 (like how Lamborghini made the LP560-4 better than the old gallardo) and Aston Martin replace the V8 vantage or create a second generation.

Can’t wait for the next season. I hope they test the new Jaguar XJ and the Gallardo LP560-4 spyder.

It’s going to be a long time and many cars will come out.

I havwe just watched the Aston V12 Vantage review again for the hundreth time! What a fantastic bit of tv, letting that super, fantastic, brilliant and beautiful car do the talking. Well done to everyone involved and I hope it’s not the last shout for these sort of cars – people have to have a dream!!

The Aston V12 review at the end of episode 7 series 13 was some of the finest television i have watched in recent times regardless of genre. Thought provoking, honest and on the money with awsome productions values that the the 5th gear team will never be able to compete with. Top Gear has provided us over the years with hours of what we love. I have long held a belief that eventually the increasingly overly sensitive politically correct obsessed world we all live in would catch up with them, and i guess that is partly was Jeremy was also implying.

During the difficult times we are in, beautiful, powerful but low mpg and high emmission cars like the Aston are now considered by many to be vulgar and out of touch and the Vantage could well be the end of the line. Like or not Aston and other companies like them need to evolve with their cars and technologies or they will tragically be consigned to the history books, and all too easily. Porsche and BMW have led the way on this front, will smaller volume performance car manufacturers be able to follow suit or go to the wall?

Just wanted to thank the entire crew and staff for yet another excellent season of TG! Every preceding season you seem to outdo yourselves. As much as I appreciate the on-camera cast and staffers, I want to give particular applause to the camera crew, footage editors and sound people for their amazing work — the quality of your production work (particularly Jeremy’s final AM Vantage piece) was AMAZING — even better than many cinematic filmmakers. BRAVO!!!

Excellent site, keep up the good work

i am 12 so top gear is aimed at me. it was really funny

new season soon??

its aimed at you? a car show isnt aimed for someone that cannot drive!

I am sorry danny….. I agree with Horseface, the show is aimed at the youngsters. The practical jokes and sense of humour is right up my son’s street (he is 11). I hear him howling with laughter everytime with the antics the boys get up to on a trip or expedition. It also gives them sound advice on what car to drive in the future! (I use this programme to promote the reasons of a good education)!!

Keep up the good work Top Gear.

As a Yank In Texas receiving last years shows, I was completely taken aback when Jeremy proclaimed the last episode in the series. I’m very sad to see TG go, it was so refreshingly different from the bland sitcom/reality show fodder we have here in the States. For me, the parting scenes of the Aston Martin Vantage winding through the countryside, combined with Jeremy’s remarks, were haunting poetry. The imagery will forever leave me with a sadness when I think of Top Gear. It’s a strange feeling for me to feel sad when I think of Top Gear. Long live Top Gear.
