The Mole can hardly believe it, but the Top Gear world tour has come to an end. What started in London finished after a textbook performance in Hong Kong on Sunday, with 67 shows successfully completed in front of nearly 250,000 people.

TG Live: Day 9

The Mole spent yesterday time travelling with the presenters; breakfast in New Zealand, lunch in Australia waiting for a connecting flight, then dinner in Hong Kong.

Onwards with the weekend, and by and large the show is running without any major hitches. Car Football (England Vs South Africa) is proving especially popular with the local audience whose constant chanting (and boo’ing) is driving the two teams to ever further daring deeds.
