Indeed, but the series prior to that was at least... what 12?? They didn't have enough content to fill that many shows, and frequently contained nothing but filler material, whilst sailing dangerously close to the old 'Clarkson' talk show format of a few years ago.... which incidently dropped like a knackered lift.

yeh, i think the usual series has 12 (or maybe 10). i would much rather have 52 episodes of top gear with not alot on than some crumby antiques programme though!
Wonder if the Stig will ever be able to play with the Veyron...
I wonder what time it'll do around the test track.
But, I assume whoever owns the one Top Gear was able to "test" last season, probably didn't dare let ol' Stiggie have a spin

If I owned a Veyron, I'd rather let a professional racing driver take it around a closed track than let someone who isn't a pro driver drive it on public roads from Italy to England. Besides, the owner could always dress up like the stig and drive it themselves, they've done that before
I did that tooXIII said:Best programme on TV.
Would I come off as sad if I told you I downloaded season 1-6, in one 26GB torrent?
Of course, in the US, downloading Top Gear is our only way of seeing it.

Not sure about that.... having a racing driver burning across the track stressing the car to its absolute limits in an attempt to break the lap record, would get me on my nerves.

For a timed lap?
Unless the owner is some sort of professional racing driver, I doubt the lap time would do his car any justice.

Its been done with a couple cars. The Maserati MC12 and Renault F1 car are two that I can think of that were driven by their owners dressed as the Stig.

Owned? I don't think so. Sure he gets paid a lot, but he doesn't own the Renault F1 car he drives. I'm guessing the owner is .... er.... Renault?
