Nice one thanks Bono will sky + it as I'm out on the shot in Inverness Sunday night, JC and the crew were in Dingwall recently, not sure what they were doing some race with a mail plane or something I heard.

Nice to watch someone else kicking tyres? The Top Gear crew make you fade into the distance and look like a dull train spotter in comparison...

Finally, seems like a long time since the last series, Sunday nights are never the same without Top Gear, enjoying 5th Gear at the moment though too 8)

5th Gear would be a decent programme if the presenters weren't such cocks!! They seem to try and "get down with the homeys" but come accross as complete knobs who know even less about cars than I do.... and that's going some!! :shock:

Agreed, the new presenter is a special cock that's for sure, and he owns a CSL :lol:

Jason and Tiff are always worth watching though, Tiff scared the sh1t out of Sterling Moss in the 599 around maranello this week and Jason almost made matthew pinsent chunder all over the inside of the Maserati :lol:

The Porker PDK gearbox test was interesting, although I don't think Jason ever got to grips with it and didn't like it from the start.

I thought that was a false representation aswell presa, and I'm pretty sure that there is actually nothing in it !

He shoveled coal,schumacher was shown to be the Stig, there was a Ferrari that easily broke the track record then he shoveled more coal!
Going by the clips of what's coming looks like there could be some juicy stuff!

Well that's what they were claiming but he was probably the stig for just this week as I believe it was his Ferrari that the "Stig" was driving.

didn't see the show but I presume the Ferrari agreement to let BBC have the FXX on Top Gear would of had Schui as the only timed driver.

I know from another good F1 source that Lewis has a similar contract when any hot Merc is tested too.

Michael Schumacher clearly isn't the Stig, he was only a special guest and as Bonovox said he was probably only there to drive the FXX!

I found the last scene funny, where Schumacher Stig was all over the track lost and killing a camera on the way :lol:
