To celebrate the end of series 15, here’s the end of another epic run. It’s the final film in James May’s meandering journey from home to the TG test track. Will he arrive on time?
And there you have it – the latest series has come to an end (and on a rather poignant note at that). We hope you enjoyed the last six weeks, and maybe even agree that this run has offered up some real highlights, from silly to serious.
Hello again, and welcome to the last of these wittering-on-about-what’s-in-the-show blogs for this run because, as you can probably guess, Sunday’s TopGear is the final show in this 15th series.
More treats for James May fans today – another two episodes from his Homeric odyssey from west London to TopGear’s track in deepest Surrey.
Back in 2002 when we were planning New TopGear, we used to reflect on the newly minted idea of a star in a Reasonably Priced Car and cackle quietly to ourselves.

For the rest of you, welcome to the world of Phineas Flynn, English stepbrother Ferb Fletcher, and bossy sister Candace, three cartoon characters who can never agree, and repeatedly hatch […]
So, Tuesday saw a dramatic end to a long, but fun season three of Top Gear USA. TG.com had a chat with the hosts to find out which moments of the season were tops – and which sent them into therapy…
If you want to find the most extreme winter off-roading on the planet, set your compass for Iceland, located in the middle of the freezing, seething North Atlantic. In Iceland, glacial ice does battle with volcanic magma, and the locals have evolved extreme vehicles to conquer these torturous conditions. American trucks once ruled supreme in […]
While Hollywood has convinced the world that most Americans live a short walk from warm California beaches, Yanks spend much of the year quite literally freezing. Snow falls in all 50 states, and slick roads mean treacherous driving. Equipping your car with proper winter tires, a stronger battery, etc. can run upwards of $2K. Instead, […]
