That’s it for series 13…

So that’s it for series 13. Seven weeks of telly that our self-confessed ‘glass-half-empty’ exec producer Andy Wilman described in his blog before show one as ‘the same old shit’. In a good way.

But how was it for you? Best series yet? The consensus in the office is that show six was the killer episode – the one with the classic car rally. Dinosaurs, a dwarf, James May with a pretty girl and a bonafide rock god in the studio.

And that put extra pressure on the telly team for tonight. We wanted to go out with a bang so we saved the best guest until last, brought back the Cool Wall with Richard on the cherry picker and ended on that epic (but dark) Aston V12 film. There was talk of ending the series as that faded out – no credits, nothing.

What happens now? A little bit of time off for the crew and then we’re straight back into filming for series 14 later in the year. If you want to wade in with your comments for that, now’s your chance…

What do you think?

I have read 1197 comments. My brain is leaking out of my ears. My eyes are bleeding. Please, for the love of God, can someone tell me where they filmed the Aston Martin at the end of Season 13. Please.

The great song used during the Ashton clip is by Brian Eno – An Ending (Ascent)

The ending sound track it’s by Brian Eno – The Ending (Ascent). He did the soundtrack for Heat and was a producer of a lot of U2′s music. This song is on his album Apollo and you’ll find it on the 28 Days Later OST.

After reading all the comments, I realized that both Jay Leno and I are getting the short end of the stick. I could always tell that the “cut to clock” editors at BBC America were underpaid and rushed by the way they would make seemingly radom cuts to end segments, but I had no idea they were also obviously evil meth heads with a hatred for cars and car people! We here in the states are obviously getting at least 30% less Top Gear! Where can I go to see the full unbutchered episodes???

As another American fan of the show just now getting to see this episode (I can just hear Jeremy now: “Amazing! He was able to put the burger down long enough to type!”) I must say this episode was one of the strangest I’ve seen yet. Between the prevaling dark humor in the VW advertisement (which included a severed arm, suicide, and a funeral) to the surreal and somber review of the Aston V12, this episode felt somewhat out of step from the Top Gear I’m used to seeing. This is still the best show on television, but I hope this episode isn’t indicative of a change in the tone of the show.

I just downloaded the DVD Flick program. I printed out the step by steps of how to compile the video and create a menu.

I put three TV shows on my disc and created a menu for it.

For the encoding process, it took over 5 hours! I could have watched the shows on my computer in that length of time.

I burned the project with ImgBurn, then took it to my DVD player and got a “disc contains unknown data” message, my guess is that it has to do with the fact that there was a menu that I created along with the 3 TV shows.

Now when I use Nero Vision express, the encoding still needed to be done, but I had success with it. It took less time to do the encoding, I would guess about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Is DVD Flick really a better program than Nero? Perhaps I made a mistake in the menu making process or something- maybe I should try making a DVD with DVD Flick and NOT have a menu??

Hopefully, this will be the last season for this pasty, racist trio of bigots. If they’d make statements like that about African-Americans or Jews, they’d be canned like that. Not a second thought. But against Mexicans…? It’s an insult that it’s already taken this long to give them the boot.

Dear readers, dear TopGear Management, BBC Board of Management, dear TopGear Team

Thanks for the apology to Mexico, i believe at these point makes no sense, the people from all around has spoken their points of view about the embarrassing situation for all parts involved.

if this was a strategy to rise the rating, well first an aplause for the smart team that created this nonsense conflict. btw that was a really bad taste strategy
well, now all around the globe Asia, Latin America and Europe people are speaking about the issue. for the Mastretta Cars great publicity, i didnt know about this car, now i am interested on it.

thanks to the incompetence of the TopGear Management to handle this issue. Now they are many reactions in many sectors of around the Globe specially in Mexico (but not just the Goverment, but the whole country) regarding this nonSENSE kostenlose Probleme.

now the BBC histerically is posting with strategic Youtube accounts seasons of topgear for free every hour, to try to avoid the audience to find something about the problem with mexico that could affect them in the long term. well that is just so obvious. May be to late, looks that the Fans supporting the Mexican complain are posting at the same speed as you, many responses to TopGear in youtube.

Regarding the apology letter published

How you (Lawyers and Management of TopGear) justify the totally Dumb and ignorant comments from the 3 TopGear presenters, just by saying that the audience of this program is intended only for the UK, and therefore there was no issue to talk like that on it, because in the UK ussing stereotypes to entertain the public is fine.

Well TopGear is nowadays an International Program, you know it better than anyone, because you Managers of TopGear do the marketing strategies for the global market.

And yes, thanks to the SatTV and youtube you have lots of fans all around the Globe, please at least take care of them and think twice before making the lines for the next program.

i am sorry, but every country is full of traditions and culture, if for the neighbours of the UK in Europe. There is no issue with the program using stereotypes jokes regarding them, fine for them/us.

but please be more aware with the scripts, it is now a program with audience all around the Globe. consider it before saying something. Some countries tolerate certain things, others doesnt. Just put your people to do some research before doing the skript, just to know what can be considered as a serious ofense. otherwise certain comments will cause this nonsense conflicts.

Thanks to the internet and Satellite TV TopGear Fans had the chance to enjoy the crazy things the TopGear guys do with cool cars, we like it, is funny, please keep doing it, but from now WISELY or youll have lots of complains knocking at your door in seconds.

Regarding the idle state of the TopGear Management in front of a demand from the fans all around the world, please someone teach them how to react to accept what was wrong since the beginning.

I dont know but, twitter and Facebook and youtube accounts from thousands are now under firing creating a virtuall wave of disqualifications and insults between all kind of TopGear Fans.
What for??? againg and aplausse to the Manager in charge of the marketing strategies

Please use your most powerfull product (The 3 show presenters) to put peace on this and let them talk to the Fans… let them talk to the FANS, as a matter of respect to all of us.

hope this will server for something to anyone at the TopGear Team as a lesson to learn at least something.

Greetings from Germany

Thanks for this article. I might also like to talk about the fact that it can become hard when you find yourself in school and starting out to initiate a long credit ranking. There are many college students who are merely trying to live and have a lengthy or favourable credit history can occasionally be a difficult issue to have.
