It’s the last one…

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?

aston review finest ever?
Its just the usual top gear hovis ad done a hundred times before.
clarkson be less of a twat
shorty get a hair cut
other one as you were.

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.

Well, I have enjoyed this show. would you do any more episodes ever

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Many thanks
