yeah i read the spoilers on finalgear last week and saw that we wouldnt get an R8 vs ZR1 race. i was pissssed. oh well, the winter series is always better than the summer, so maybe thats how theyll kick it off. i heard they had too much to cram in, but jay leno + zr1 woulda been great.

i thought it was a great final episode for the series anyways, although i wanted to see more of than v12 vantage. felt like old top gear with the power tests on the maloo & vxr8 bathurst or whatever & the cool wall with no challenge. i liked when the challenges were a once every 3 or 4 episode kinda thing, made them more special. oh well, id give the series an 7.5 or an 8 since there were a few let downs in the latter part of the series.....and Usain Bolt was the most random, unnessecary guest ever.

Im dissapointed that we didnt se a ZR-1 but the last episode was great!......the australian lsx cars are badass, Jay Leno as a guest, the vw commercials were funny and the video at the end with the Aston Martin was EPIC.....its true what he says I felt like crying

I wish they would cut back on the 'star in a resonably priced car' segment, especially since us americans hardly ever know those british 'stars' lol have it in every other episode or somin.

That ending was almost depressing. It felt like there wouldn't be any more Top Gear coming out.

You weren't kidding!!! I've made it a point to download all 7 episodes but haven't watched any of them yet. But after seeing that clip that was extremely sad!!!

November can't come soon enough. I don't want to skip Halloween, though. Lots of fun to be had on campus...

Oh, the Bathurst VXR sounded GREAT! And they packed again in this season a lot of great shots and music.
Can't wait for the new series...

next season should have plenty of really badass cars out....hopefully the 2010 camaro is one. they did the old 2005+ stangs. and i have a feeling the cts-v and challenger will make it back to TG for a lap run, not too mention the zr1 which was supposed to be on in s13

Three, as far as I know. The black Stig, the white Stig (both are revealed, but don't look it up...it's like finding out as a Kid that the Easterrabbit doesn't exist) and M. Schuhmacher. And of course Stigs african brother, his american cousin and the truckdriving cousin etc..
