I think Alan has some santa pod videos he took which shows a similar thing!
So glad top gear is back with new stuff I loved the xmas specials and was desperate for new episodes. There is only so many times I can watch the same old ones on Dave!!!
Missed the very start and was suprised to see the stig in the Ferrari 308! Have they a new stig or was it an old film?
Did they explain at the start?

Oh I see, That would explain it!! I was confused because I also saw that thing online they did with the stig farm!
Glad there sticking with the stig idea! Thought after they put the boot in over the last one they may change the plan.
Mind you there is a lot of stig merch!!!

I can remember Mini Cooper s's pulling over to let us pass on many a rally, and we had a quicker time round Brands than Cooper s's All with a road legal 1953 Beetle.

I would like to say there is NOTHING wrong with beetles
Slow... And low... thats the life!... And definately how that other beetle ended up
Loving Top Gear though I dont really care about what they did to the bug because it was some dodgy looking african thing with a disgusting paint job that needed to be taken care off
