Post Top Gear News

So I've decided to change this thread to include all recent Top Gear's news. Does anybody know how to change the thread title if possible?

UHmm...Yea...So Top Gear is filming in Vietnam. Interesting.
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/09/t...al-in-vietnam/



On other news. Top Gear will re-start on November 2nd!
http://transmission.blogs.topgear.co...es-start-date/

Here's another piece of Top Gear's News. Clarkson had a head-on collision.
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/13/c...uring-filming/

"According to a report by the UK's Mirror, Jeremy Clarkson has been injured during filming of the BBC version of Top Gear. The story doesn't divulge the circumstances of the crash or what the presenter was driving during the incident, but according to Clarkson, the head-on collision was his first serious crash in 31 years. Top Gear's front-man described his injuries in typical Clarksonian style thusly: "My right index finger looked like a burst sausage, my left shin was fatter than my thigh and my back felt like someone had driven over it with a pile-driver." Clarkson's wife took a call from the Mirror on Saturday and told the tabloid that her husband was fine. "

Another piece of news, Top Gear in Russia is confirmed!
http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/top-gear-russia
"Top Gear goes Russia
By the end of the year there will be a Clarksonov, Hammondchenko and Mayovski roaming the frozen steppes of Russia. Probably in Ladas.
Yes, there’s going to be a Top Gear Russia. Made in Russia for the Russians. A bit like the Aussie TG, but with more back-to-front letters and fewer boomerangs.
Everything’s a bit hush-hush at the moment, but we know that it’s going to run for 15 episodes initially, around the end of this year. The Russian Top Gear magazine has been doing well over there since its launch in 2004, so hopefully the locals will be familiar with TG’s ‘ambitious but rubbish’ philosophy.
First up, though, we’ve got to find the local presenters. Rumours that Clarkson, May and Hammond will be making a guest appearance clad in bearskin hats remain unconfirmed.
We can’t imagine there’ll be any shortage of candidates for the arduous job of thrashing supercars around the beautiful Russian outback. Or whatever the Russians call the outback.
There’s no word on what studio or test track they’ll be using yet, but we have glorious visions of a giant Russian Clarkson firing up a Murcielago in a decommissioned nuclear silo, surrounded by hoards of TG faithful wrapped up in layers of wintery clothes.
And bearskin hats. It’s all about the bearskin hats."

And related news: Jeremy Clarkson's "Thriller" DVD trailer

How was Vietnam? I haven't been back there ever since summer of '94. Yea, I think most people know that wearing that shirt is bad. Well in Clarkson's case, he just make a mockery of everything and everybody. Funny as hell though, I can't wait to see the new season.

no matter how much I disagree with Jeremy's verdicts, I can't deny how much of an amazing commentator he is.

there is no other car show like top gear, , , in the world

^ You should be able to change it yourself. Just go to edit post, advanced, and there should be a box at the top labeled "thread title".

I can only change the title of post that way. I've tried it. There's no option to change the title of the thread. Unless I'm missing it somehow. Thanks though Kenny.
