Jeremy Clarkson was spotted in San Fransisco along with a ZR-1, Challenger and CTS-V. This should be an interesting episode.

I didn't read the entire thing, but it looks like they drove the cars from S.F. to Bonneville. Looks like they did some high speed testing!

I think the show comes back this month which is weird as season 11 was on like 3 months ago. Oh well, the more of this show, the better.

The torrent for the first episode of TopGear Australia has been released though :)

oOo, I have to go and look.
Umm I don't see anything, last thing I see is:
- Best Of Top Gear Series 11 Part1 WS
- Top Gear S11E06 WS
Can't wait for the next season!
I'm not keen on the Australian version, only the original for me.
On a side similar note, the Fifth gear series this season is awesome. They test the challenger as well. Recommended!

The 2009 CTS Spec-V is starting to get my attention, looks nice and has lots of power. Too bad I can't afford one right now.

best part is that it will still depreciate a ton, wait a year or so

Just checked out the Australian version of Top Gear last night. That show isn't going to last, the host aren't as funny as the original UK version.

New season of Top Gear comes on tomorrow! Can't wait! I hope Sabine Schmidt comes back.
ABSOLUTELY!!!! Cannot wait!!! This should be a spectactular season from the preview. But if you watch last season's previes they left some things out of the series so I dunno if maybe we'll see em this year!?

I believe so as at the end of the show he said something along the lines of being in America for next weeks episode.
That's gonna be AWESOME!!! Did you see the clip with the cop? I bet they got pulled over hehehe.
The Vietnam episode is gonna be hilarious too!!!

Lol i didn't open the link but i know which one you are talking about... that was a great episode and an inspiring drive. that aston was flying
Just finished watching Ep4 Se12.
I don't want to spoil it since no one else has mentioned it. But lets just say that I was really disappointed!!! Although it makes sense considering its weight and size. The four wheel drive understeer couldn't have helped either. I thought the ZF would be faster than that as well.

yeah i really expected it to do much better. i posted a utube link if ne one only wants to c the lap times. but yeah in the end it was just too heavy.

really it was quicker than what i thought it would be... i was getting ready to hear a 1:22 or something like that lol
If the car had the ability to set up the diff and suspension for the track the Stig might have been able to push harder. Keep in mind they may have laid off as well as to not "break" it like the other cars they've placed on the board. Just shows how good the apollo S is on the track. Imagine if they actually got the best model Apollo on the track.

Go TopGear!!! lol.
Last season, the latter episodes started to suck. IMO. Let's hope they kick it up a notch for this coming season.
