looks intresting. cant wait to see it.

i don’t mind the stunts, but trashing a new twingo is just wrong. http://www.twingooc.com

Ah one less Renault in the world yippee!!! Nice one Jeremy.

The new series looks like its gonna be awesome.
Cant wait

what no caravan

shabby clarkson!!!

I thought JC loved hot hatches? What then is wrong with the Twingo?

Or did he love it so much he wanted it to be his seabound coffin?

what the hell is all this crap?

can we have a proper series please?

it looks like it’s flying!!!

wonder if james hot hatch floated off instead of landing in the water ???

In replay to ‘Jus’ comments – he is not a member of Twingo Owners Club he is trying to get bad press for the club in the style of Morris Marinas OC. Most members of The Twingo Owners Club is behind top gear all the way in this and we agree it will be an excellent episode!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever car they choose be it a Twingo or a fiat 500 they won’t really care what people think aslong as it hits number. I own a Twingo yet i will be watching and i am sure it will be a great episode! people are going to be un-happy with any car they wreck.

Wonder if they are doing another hilux test but with a modern car to show the difference?

WTF theres a twingo owners club! sad! cant they take a bit of fun?

!¿Que demonios?!?!?!

I think I’ve seen this before…… BLACK STIG?

I think I’ve seen this before…… BLACK STIG?

is this going to be in cinaman

OMG look how quickly this twingo fell apart hahaha

The guys are doing a great job…Keep it up

To bloody right !!! Looking forward to the new stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I SAW HIM DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

Hmm.. yet another deliberate Renault crash. Who benefits this time??

I’m sorry, but wrecking a Twingo seems wrong. I’m intrigued to see what’s going on, though. And people sit here saying “haha it’s a Renault, look how quickly bits are falling off…” they clearly don’t know how much of a good car the Twingo is. Peasants. Anyway I’m looking forward to the new series.

I just hope this is not another deja vu.

Water.. A Car falling… The Stig ….

Is the Whit Stig going to die ?

hahaha, thats one less renault in the world, well done jezza

the renault twingo is such a sweeeeeet car. It’s a shame to kill it. But i don’t care as it’s part of the new series!!!!

haha i think the french derseve it!

If you’re killing off The Stig, I hate you all.

hmmm i hope old FLAVIO gave the ok to trash the renault or am i just being a tad cynical ? c ya hercule p……….ps i hope all the relevant health and safety forms were sorted prior to chucking a car in the sea , you know what those sad bunch of pathetic jobsworths are like lads..c ya again …hercule

I’m laughing just thinking about how a Twingo go launched into the sea. Another ‘affordable’ car road test Jezza?

Perhaps Amphicars MKIII?

It say JC drives it off. So it won’t be a new stig. It’ll be a new JC. Welcome Black JC

poor twingo:(

Nice one, back to usual childishness then

Is this anything to do with the Italian Job remake through the sewers of belfast (confirmed early this year, I can’t find the link to the story).

this is problay for that italian job thing they are doing for teh next series, as they are in the sewer system to recreate that scene from the Italian Job so this is obviously part of it

i really want to watch the new season,
it looks awesome !!

poor clio

i meant twingo

its good that top gear have came to northern ireland. this stunt looks good. perhaps depending on the nature of the stunt a new twingo was a good idea but if it was just for the stunt perhaps some work of ‘automotive art’ should have been used such as the morris marina not a nice new car. even some old scrappage car deemed to be scrapped. or a new hyundai i10 because its crap.
another thing sea water if it is any where remotely near a car causes undescribable amounts of rust. my old vitrara was used at the sea and the rust ruined it, wheras a neighbour is still driving his nonetheless top gear is the best show on tv.

the hilux person. is the new one as strong as the old one

Talking about the new series, you might also wanna check this out http://www.u-w-e.ro/TopGe ar/index.html

I have a twingo Rs and im part of that owners club to be honest it doenst bother us one bit just a bit of fun.

Also the 500 is a abarth so turboed so its going to beat a n/a car in a drag race as it pulls away faster.

Would of fought top gear would know this anyway watch top gear all the time and looking forward to seeing this

Nice Jezza… Can’t wait to see what happened…

Please that better not be the stig in there. If you was going to kill him off than do it in style. I once saw this programme yeah where they got a Jaaaaag and put nitrous on it yeah and they went on some aircraft carrier and drove it off the deck. The man/machine/thing “died” but he came back

All this talk about telling to OC to shut up is rubbish, i run the club and were not really all that fussed, it’s a waste of a car yes but its four our entertainment and nothing we say or do can stop it. I dont care what car they trash, they can certainly have my twingo to drive off a cliff…Contact me

Haha!

I’m sure they could’ve trashed a worse car than that!
A J-Wiz for example!

I hope Jeremy’s ok but i don’t really give a damn about the Renult

How can you do such a thing to an innocent little Twingo. How sad r u. By the way I can’t wait to see the footage of it.

OK. errrm. Are we supposted to care about this story or what?

oh wouldn’t it be terrible if people started to drive orher french cars into the sea? no, it wouldn’t.

I think its a stupid idea!!!!!!

ferme ta gueule “mitch” from France,

oh and yes renault sucks, nothing new under the sun…

I LOVE TOP GEAR

Cant wait for the next season to start!!

think about it people – it’s unlikely that they’d trash a NEW car – look at the snaps; there’s bits flying off it! It’s been bashed about.

Jeremy how can you risk your life that way!?!?!?!

Put the stig in the car

I am looking frwd for the new siries!

Poor car. Can’t wait to see what happened. But what’s next? As long as it’s not my money but the money of the British tv viewers that they burn (ok, sink) I don’t care.

i dont get why people are going crazy over it, its just a car and the could have used anything but obviously they are doing tests or something on it so thats why its that car. i cant wait to see it,

Wasn’t it Belfast city council who offered Top Gear use of their new sewer system for an Italian Job remake… between that and the ‘rest of the story hanging’ clue in the main piece… should be good…

Is jeremy hurt?? idiot!!

well looking forward to new series, wot a loon Jezza is!

When you gotta go Twingo, btw where’s the flush.

Can’t wait for new series to come out keep up the good work lads.

i have 2 giga.

You lot all realise that press cars end up in the crusher anyway, right?

You know, i’ve never understood people who get angry when a car gets smashed. It’s not your car, you don’t own it. TG own it they’ve paid for it. Can’t wait for the new series though!! more car smashing please!

when does the new season start?

Hang on if stig didn’t drown, how about stig vs stig?

Andrei. P thank you for that link. There were some astonishing images there, and it really makes me want to watch the new series!

Also, TopGear, if you are still filming, can I suggest that you bring back >>Proper Road Tests<<?

Powersliding supercars on a runway doesn't count. It's no wonder really why you're not considered a factual TV show anymore…

Proper top gear, love it

I can just imagine the car coming out with some wings on the side and flying away.

It good to see clarkson back on form, and wreaking cars (he was never off form anyway)

And can all of the people who are moaning about him ruining a good car, it’s not a bloody good car, it’s Renault, even worse it sounds like a thong that went wrong, and caused pain to the wearer.

Also top gear is not about being all exspendable and annoying, that’s fifth gear’s job, and i hope that one day mr Jason ‘baked potato’ plato , really does live up to his name (see the pun there)

hey jezza youve got rid of another french car by putting it where french cars belong at the bottom of the sea and i am dying to see the next series cause i am begining to suffer from top gear withdrawl symptoms and i am looking forward to seeing jezza,hamster and slow

Please make this season alot better than the last, more road tests, i like the challenges but there has to be 2 road test per show, one supercar and the other a car for people who are not millionaires.

I love Top gear but i have to say the last
season was poor, infact this is the first time i have said anything negative about top gear.

was it a real accident or was it planned?

does anyone no if its true that TG filmed in belfast new underground sewage system?? recreating the italian job?!

hopefully Top Gear season 14 is better than season 13 with the exeption of the episode with the lambo and veyron vs mclaren f1

yeah.. i drive around in a 16 yo opel corsa and these guys decide to trow a brand new twing into the sea. gotta love it

Long post I know….

I like explosions and crashes as much as the next person, and I assume that the Twingo was given to TG by Renault for advertising etc, but it is the continuation of a really arrogant streak that is becoming ever more noticeable in the show.

The amount of cars that get wrecked, especially in the cheap car challenges, is getting a bit much. Not the crap old stuff like the £100 challenge, but the Nissan Z and Porsche in the last season for example are cars that some of us aspire to own. Yet because they’re not a new Zonda, the TG guys only think they’re useful for smashing up.

That’s not a love of cars, that’s a love of money.

‘Well? So what’ I here you saying…

Have a think about who you’re influencing with the constant wrecking and no actual love of cars. The reason I love cars now is largely due to the TopGear I watched as a kid. The reason my first car is a rear drive sports car is again, largely due to the TopGear I watched as a kid. Same goes for my support of UK Motorsport (visiting as well as TV) and the books, magazines and websites (like this one) that I visit.

But guess what your new fans love? Cars? No. Destruction and money.

Am I talking out of my arse? Maybe, but when I was at James May’s Lego house build some kids were talking to me and all they cared about was ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if James fell through the floor? Wouldn’t it be funny if his house blew up? Wouldn’t it be funny if someone knocked it down with him in it?’. Because that’s the stuff they expect from TopGear. I’d have been happy with the awesome engineering of a house made from Lego, yes, even at the age of 8.

To summarise; well done chaps- no longer are you encouraging the next generation of engineers, car designers, car marketers and journalists. You’re creating a generation which doesn’t give a stuff about the cars you perhaps still love deep down, but just wants to blow shit up.

By posting a ’sneak peek’ of yet another crash to get the ratings up just confirms how much the show has slipped.

I really hope this season of TG gets back on track, but from this teaser it doesn’t look promising. I could be very wrong though. Here’s hoping.

Did Jezza Die?????

cara que voo lindo demais so esse carro reno pra voar esses Franceses são demais heim rsrsrsrsrsrs

Haha, Jeremy doing crazy stuff again. Love it.

FLASH REPORT! FLASH REPORT! There is a report that the driver inside that surrender monkey of a car was not Jeremy Clarkson but it was Flavio Biatore attempting to commit suicide. He chose the Twingo because it has a 5-star crash safety rating.
To Ape F, woke up on the wrong side of the bed, did you?

tell us more!

No, just bored of TopGear forgetting to be a car show.

Still, explosions are cool and this is at least crashing off the TG Track, so does it count as a road test??

I’ve been watching TG since the old version and it’s frustrating seeing it go downhill. But hey, it gets more viewers now so maybe I should shut up! We all pay our license fee and if more people want to seen crashes than cars I can’t really argue.

i think we’r all forgetting ”top gear stunt man”….maybe this is TG’s half hearted attempt to revive his pitiful remains???

let him die boys….

apart from this though…woohoo topgear!!!! cant wait for the new series and this looks amazing!

Jeremy deserves a medal, one less heap of french s**t on the road!!!

AYANE DISAPPROVES KASUMI ANGERED AND HAYATE IS HUMPING RYU

didnt id ever see jezza in Belfast doing a clip for top gear

nice, wonder did he like the sh1t hole?!?!?

p.s. im from belfast

I would love to see that twingo just fall from the sky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the twingos a good car way are they drowning it

theres nothing more entertaining than a twingo flying off a dock

JC does say he thoroughly tests car
??

About the black stig.why was he legging it from the cameraguys? when JC took off in the renault crappo why wasnt he towing a caravan? and on the second picture where all the dents are couldnt they show us a quick video with sounds?

Looks fun can’t wait for the new series!

maybe his testing see if the cars safe as renault says it is

Was jeremy in the car.

Do yu think jeremy was in the car aswell.

no caravan your lowering your standerd gugs unless that was the stig commitin suicide for reaveling him self in which case:

WTF!!!

i like eggs

100th comment

You may all be really impressed, but that is just a bloody waste. writing off a brand new car. tax payers money down the drain….

did you know that after the stunt at the in belfast the ramp for the HSS Voyager had a massive hydrollic leek and the lovely HSS was over 3 hours late great can you do more damage if you have to do it again as it make the job more easier for us securty officers who have to work with stenaline enjoyed the over time cheers

heard about the stunt at Stenaline in belfast brill surprise that that link span for the HSS broke on the same day a tad bit sus dont ya think

i cant wait to see it

This can’t end well.

Also, how can you ruin such a nice little car.

;__;

all it puts me in mind of is “Twingo Invincible” – though I’m quite sure no one has ever claimed the Twingo to be particularly tough anyway.

my actual guess is maybe a challenge to see who can find the best car that the /should/ be using in the Italian Job rehashes (hint.. not the new BMW.. sorry.. Mini… it’s too big)

what do you call a renault driving intoo the sea? problem.

what do you call 2 renaults driving into the sea? problem.

what do you call all the renaults driving into the sea? problem solved!

i just hope jezzas a good swimmer!

reply to steve s:
i’d agree with u to use a g-wiz,if it wasn’t for the fact that the bloody batteries will be flat miles before the dock’s edges…and i really cannot see jezza pushing the stupid thing in the water!!

That’s Top Gear’s way of saying they don’t like a car

haha cant wait

all these people saying, “Oh it’s French, or a renault, who cares”. It’s not just a renault, it’a renault sport! HUGE difference. I’m sure if they had actually watched last season they would’ve noticed a FRENCH (RENAULT) beating the crap out of a ford focus RS. Just shows, you can plant 300 bhp in a good car, but it won’t beat a Renault Sport with 70bhp less! CANNOT wait for the new Renault Megane 250 coming out this month. Oh and why is it TG fans can’t spell……show’s how educated they are, slagging off TG and Renault!

it is bad crack what the belfast telegraph said to day bout top gear i think gezza shoud come back in his wee blue car and go to stormont and knock them no good mps down keep up good work cant wate for top gear live in dublin dont know how you will make it better than last year

is there a video?

this series looks fantastic

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Ape F – I think, honestly, that they are more of an entertainment show rather than a car show. I also think that if whey’d be more technical like fifth gear, which is rubbish, they’d loose their high ratings. I love cars, I am a car bore, I must admit, but I set aside all my biases when I watch TG because I know all my preferences and opinions will be deemed worthless, no matter how much sense they seem to have, by MR. POWERRRRR! I have to admit, either JC talks sense or otherwise, one think that I love about the show is it is entertaining.

that twingo looked nice , only kidding

Ok why not kill the renault? its called a “Twingo?” kill the damn thing but put the idiot that came up with the name in the driving seat. I’d rather have herpes than a car that is as stupidly named as that. Whats next? an Aston Martin “crumpet?”

looks cool and it is in belfast yeoooooooooo!!!

Me being a Twingo RS owner myself couldn’t care less if one gets smashed and sunk in the sea… equals less RS twingos on the roads making my care more exclusive

anyway… I couldn’t agree more to Ape F, as he is absolutely right in any point of his comments.

greetings from austria
Manfred

make the series continuous or with more eepisodes. please…….

It reminds me of the Visa GTI ad…

I think i know what it is now. In the original Italian Job after they have the gold they throw the red white and blue minis of the alps. If i rememver rightly they were filming top gear in the sewers of belfast for an Italian Job mock up. Maybee instead of throwing the cars of the Alps they are throwing them of the docks. Heres a reminder of the Original

I cant wait! whens the show?

looks mad – but great !!!!

JC or such an idiot your wreking a new twingo. It’s fantastic but stupid. Either way the new seried is looking great.

that wasent great.

Jeremy was thinking like an ape…

his usual ways…

dumbo.

I remember in the aftermath of Richard’s accident him saying that if anyone wanted to make a car programme just featuring serious tests there was plenty of room in the market to do so. For me Top Gear is escapist fantasy whether its the gloriously expensive cars or the gloriously daft challenges, there is not too much enjoyment around at the moment so let us enjoy it.

About bloody time it happened – unless it was the 133. then its a bit sad. but not very.

I hate small cars because i am a big guy, way to go.

JC needs to check his brain with Neurologist, something wrong with these guys..

1 of the teachers at my high school has a twingo i like it but i like the idea of a twingo bein driven into the sea…
1 more thing it reminds me of the black stig years ago driven of a aircraft carrier!!!

this is just more proof that the new series will be the shiz.

Ya Jermy killed a Renald WOOOOO

Sigh…won’t be able to get the 14th season of TG out here in Australia till like next damn year!! Still worth the wait.

Does any know how much this stunt cost? £200,000!!!!!

jeremy,next time tick the parking sensor box on the options list.cheers.

I guess this was another challenge, with May driving the ship, and Clarkson trying to do the traditional “accidental” collision with May’s vehicle?

You know hillbilly, small cars are just small outside while they’re often big inside.
Just like big guys are often big outside and small inside…

Shoulda gone to Specsavers…

someone referred to this being a ‘hot hatch’ ??? who in gods green earth thinks that’s a hot hatch… one less (in the words of jezza)’renalt’ in the world. good stuff lads! keep it up

If this is the death of another stig then how will replace him, I mean black stig got replaced by white so if white dyes what is going to replace him

P.S I don’t mean this personally but I HATE the twingo!

BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING !!!!!!!!!!!! SH*T

FU** OFF THIS IS A BAG OFF BALLS HATE TOPGEAR ITS MAT AND BORING SO SUCK OUT

THIS VID IS AS BORING AS MY MOM AND DAD HAVING SEX SO DEALTE IT AND DROP DEAD YOU ARSE

I AM GOING TO GLOW TOPGEAR UP TOMOZ NIGHT AND THN CHOP ALL THE PEOPLE UP WHO WORK THIS IT IS SH*T NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN INVTED

Re. 144-147

Wow….

Somebody needs to learn how to take caps off their keyboard.

*rolls eyes*

I do think we need some more test reviews on the show for regular cars – I drool over the latest Jag, Aston, Ferrari, Lambo, et al. as much as anyone, and I love the stunts.

But I also want to know about the Focus, the Insignia, the BMW 3-Series; the cars I might have a chance of owning sometime. Not that often (I certainly don’t want Top Gear becoming Fifth Gear), but more often than last season.

That small criticism aside, keep up the good work, gentlemen!

One less Renault in world!
Thank you, Clarkson!!!

Is this maybe a suicide attempt?
I think that “Ape F” has got it all wrong Top Gear is the ultimate car show it is packed with facts funny and entertaining why does every body insult it. The fact that thy smash cars is why its funny, that’s what makes it BETTER in every way than Fifth gear.

I hope that twingo was a diesel, if it wasent then why not?

Down with diesel!

Imagine if he’d used an Gumpert or a micra.

In reply to anyone how said that this might be the death of the stig; The black stig died in a supercharged jag this is a twingo… not quite as dramatic me thinks.

bring it on Jezza…..cant wait for next series to start

what the hell
why u treate the cars like this
it pick u up every day
if u do not need to a cars send me one because i need it

that car had it comin but i tell u what it would have been better if james was in the car

i would of had that car

this better not be the end of the stig, but what colour will the new stig be blue?? yellow?? green ??? lol

I think it’s probably some sort of Ken Block Parody/Race/Tribute thing.

top gear is coooool

tg is cooool

Please TG, I really like your programme, but please do proper roadtests now and again. You did them until S9 and they are far more intresting than Fifth Gears! Can’t wait for the new series!

Im 17
you could have gave the twingo to me i only live down the road from Belfast!!!!!

but gd job
can not wait for the new series!!!!

I also spied them out the office window mucking about with the H & W cranes

I hope that Jeremy’s jabs are up to date?
Many years ago my Father rescued someone who had fallen into the river Lagan which is Belfast Docks , he had to go to hospital for a tetnus shot .
No doubt if the Twingo didnt kill Jeremy Viles disease will!

Looks awesome, i hope that it´s a crazy challenge, that Twingo thing.
Can´t wait for series 14.

MISSED IT BY THAT MUCH!

They didn’t use an air cannon this time

The Twingo’s airbags have been deployed

does anyone rem when they took that one car that was about to be destroyed anyways because it belonged to a criminal???? I dont think anyone can disagree with having fun with the car first before destroying it…. lets wait and watch the series! dont get your freaking knickers in a knot!

can’t wait to see it

I can’t stand people who think the french cant make hot hatches. they probably make the best in the world. think of the fun of the peugeot GTI6, the Renault R26R and the old Clio V6. these could in one way or another put VW, ford, Honda, and others all to shame. if you dont beleive me watch the re-runs of Top Gear and get it from the Horses Mouth.

i just hope jeremy is doing fine … don`t wanna see him hurt. he already sustained a massive neck injury TWICE…

I LOVE YOU ALL TOP GEAR STAFF!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE SAVE ME FROM MY STUPID KITCHEN HAND JOB AND GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO WORK AND LIVE AGAIN ON YOUR SIDE……..
GOD BLESS YOU O PIECES OF LOVES….

I’ll have to watch the new series on my laptop via my USB DVB-T stick as the analogue signal starts to be switched off here in Wales just before the new series of Top Gear starts. Bah!

top gear has turned in to a comedy programme stop doing silly things

is anyone remineded of somthing??…..BLACK STIG!!

Hey, did Jeremy drive that perfectly good Twingo off the docks because of his “wrong in the head” syndrome? Alhzeimers?….or just another publicity stunt?….C’mon now!

Thats one of my favourite cars!

Twingo smingo, you’ve all missed the point…

We may get to see a WET JEZZA!!!! That is the only point!!

ausome

hello

Absolutely disgracefull!!!!!!! But i dont care, looks fun

Italian Job through 6 miles of new sewers in Belfast/……………..

it said in the newspaper that it wasnt the jeremy driving, it was a stuntman

jerramy is the funnyest of u all (so get it up you ricerd & james)

I am 16 and gonna be 17 next year and learning to drive. I am wanting a twingo so YEAH TWINGO ROCKS
