Just 90 mins to go!!!!
The only TV show I would definitely put before Euro 2008!
Was just thinking the same thing, well 78 minutes to go
just suffering while my wife watches gladiators.And still no idea who the new presenter is. Or even if the new presenter is human...
Please... please let it be Sabine Schmitz.
Or ex-Autocar(now DR) scribe, Chris Monkey Harris.
Though I did just read on Wiki, that apparently;
Which sounds promising... very promising indeed.
Now... how about some cars in this series?
Please... please let it be Sabine Schmitz.
I would love seeing her (and seeing her driving
) but I doubt she will fit into the 3-way Jeremy-Richard-James humor. BTW, Top Gear Dog was no real meaningful addition last series either, now was he. So I wonder....
Please... please let it be Sabine Schmitz.
Wouldn't argue with having a hot blond German who can drive like a goddess join them...
I don't know, I saw a twinkle in her eye when driving that Transit that suggested she might be game
So long as she looks good and can handle a stick, do you really want her laughing during a 3-way?
So, the 4th member is an ugly guy going backwards.
But, we could see some fun stuff with him, me thinks!!
I did see/hear Sabine in the "preview"!

I heard the scream of a cute blond German lady in the series summary
Cracking start to series

I don't know this new 'Stunt driver' seems pretty lame. I foresee half assed 'stunts' in an attempt at humor, possibly to court the less car obsessed viewer. Also I've never considered myself as an Allegro fan in any way but trashing a VP, it just .. isn't right, they are far too rare now.
Where can buy a nice Fiat Coupe 20V T for £900 too £2900 maybe!
But I'm bitching TG still absolute gold.

^ Agreed. I just watched the episode and for the most part it was a bit naff- they were trying too hard for laughs. The Police challenge, for example, might as well have been introduced with "and now, we shall mess around on a track for 10 minutes for no purpose". (Okay, that's what they normally do, but they could at least have pretended to be doing something worthwhile.)
Some good moments though: "I was looking on the internet, and this was on it".

You guys do know that Sabine is the host of the German TG? So she wouldn't host the British version?
And *SPOILER* Sabine is in the new series because it is a race between the Germand TG and the British TG in Belgium to see who's quickest.*/SPOILER*
AND @MacsRgr8. Top Gear dog wasn't last season. I believe it was series 8.

I didn't know that. ...but more surprised that the Germans have bought a show based around a comedy format, I bet it's surreal to watch.
I thought Australia and America were the only places to have their own official "Top Gear" show. When did Germany get theirs?
I don't know when, but it's in the official Top Gear magazine. So I know what the big race is (but they showed that in the preview in the first episode), and other challenges in the series.
And it's Sabine vs James, Jeremy and Hamster; presenter on presenter in BELGIUM not the Nürburgring Nordschleife or the Test Track.
