Who did you get to meet as the star in a reasonably priced car?
I got to meet Jay Kay! for jamiroquai, and when we had a break i got to see him put his renault spider across the grass doing some damage to the front spoiler.

Despite the fast cars being driven very quickly around the track and the attempt to put a Reliant Robin into space, there was one fundamental screw up........

They moved the Defender and all the other off road designed 4x4 vehicles into the uncool section on the cool wall.....

what is that all about???? I didn't see them moving the 4x4 sports cars as well!!!

Have Top Gear succumbed to what appears to be massive public pressure and are they now going to be extolling the virtues of the Prius etc???

I certainly hope not, Mind Jeremy did almost salvage some of the respect that I lost for the show in that section by saying he would now buy a Rangie.

Ok, rant over...

Ok, I'm guessing it wasn't delayed in England then? Stupid Welsh Open snooker was on here, and Top Gear has only just started :(

It seems the Loco hitting the Espace on the crossing was pulled at the last minute because a couple of kids in a car got hit on one days before so it was a mark of respect but I believe they are still going to show before the end of the series

I thought it was due to the Inquest being held (during the week of planned broadcast) on the 2 schoolgirls who were struck whilst crossing the line & trying to catch a Cambridge(?) bound train to go shopping last December.
