In which Top Gear series# & episode# did Jeremy Clarkson first test drive the Porsche 928GTS?
I believe Series 5 Episode 6 -https://www.topgearbox.com/entertainment/top-gear/episode-guides/series-5/series-5-episode-6/ 🙂
Looking for the episode where richard hammond was driving a red ford courier ute
I thought the Burma special was 3 parts?
Nope, just two.
looking for the 88 chevy nova episode…
You see this is why corporations should employ fans to construct the web page of the show they love. Can’t find any info on season 22, yet here is heaps on the “unofficial” site. This site is much better than the actual site.
I wouldn’t say no!
Top gear festival Indonesia please
YES!!!!! Then they can make their way down to Australia. Then back over to New Zealand!
Great Job hander than Looking at Wikipedia much better
My new favorite show. I love the mix between actually reviewing cars and rediculous challenges. I watch it here in America on BBC America. This is definitely better than the garbage shows we produce here in the US.
awesomest motoring show in the world !!!! jezza ur amazing im ur biggest fan 🙂 hamster and captain slow are really cool.
Loue the show but when do we get to see the every day car etc fords vauxhalls enjoy.
I wish I had mates like the Top Gear guys, i’ve got Aspergers Syndrome and Tourettes so I doubt Jeremy would be happy with that as I remember him making a bad joke about Tourettes, lol. I don’t actually have any friends at all so it’s nice to watch Top Gear and the guys say they’re best mates, it’s cool.
Mate you would be a great fishing companion! Things would never be boring when you’re with someone who has Tourette’s! Man the asperger’s must suck. I have had doctors poking and prodding me most of my life too. They still have yet to diagnose me so I just say i’m weird and be done with it. No one’s normal dude! That’s the brilliance about our race, we always find ways to look outside the box.
I have a child who is Aspergers. It’s not really that bad, just a different way to look at things. I love a quote of Temple Grandin (USA) “I’m different, yes, but not less”. Aspergers is not a handicap or a disability, it’s an overability. you are gifted.
best tv show ever
I own a Mercedes-Benz 190D 2.5 purchased new 1992. Around that time, in the ‘Old Top Gear’ half-hour programme, Series 26 (19 Sep. – 19 Dec. 1991) or Series 27 (27 Feb. – 7 May 1992) an episode featured Quentin Willson giving the results of a test report he conducted on a two-year old used 190 saloon saying he could not fault the performance and reliability of the vehicle. He further stated it was the best used car report the programme had ever given any car. I am extremely interested to know which episode of Top Gear this report was featured in and when it was broadcast by BBC. Furthermore, is this report likely to be available to view somewhere on the internet, enabling me to see it again – I do hope so!!
I am a huge fan, I have been to the top gear festival in Durban, South Africa. A suggestion for you guys in production and Jeremy!
Do a show on the evolution of the BMW M3. It should be a special! I think it will attract ALOT of attention and will be a collectors item.
i really really really wish i could just be in the studio with u guys, Jeremy you are my favorite……love the episode u drove the Avantedor. u guys rock………… Tola, Nigeria……..P.S. i might just b d new Stig
LOL
cool show. looking forward. you guys rocks. 2014.. 🙂
