After a six-month nap in the BBC garage, the irrepressible car jamboree returns for a new series. Preview DVDs were unavailable, but we're promised thrills of the "longer, stronger, faster and better" variety. Tonight, the trio set out to buy a "bargain-priced police cruiser," Jeremy Clarkson roars around in a Ferrari 430 Scuderia and the Reasonably Priced Car will play host to not one but two sets of celebrity buttocks, as Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr prepare to take to the racetrack. What's more, it seems there's a mysterious new member of the team, who, according to executive producer Andy Wilman, is "a bit like the Stig, but not like the Stig". Hold tight.

I think the new member is Sabine Schmitz.

It begins all over again :happy:

Radish?

A great episode, the modded police cars were awesome :laugh:

Shame about the new member though, was expecting more - however Sabine was in the series preview!

Can't wait for the GT-R against the bullet train.

The guest section was disappointing - Alan Carr was a retard and JLH thought he was funny when he just wasn't. The stunt thing was pointless as well.

I loved everything else though. The Scuderia review was a lot better than most and the police car section was brilliant, even if a couple of parts were obviously scripted :laugh: The news section was great as well... and a BMW M3 more fuel efficient than a Prius? Toyota got owned :D

Absolutely awesome start to the new series. The season preview at the start looked great - and yes I can confirm that we will see Sabine and the rest of the german TG teamlater in the series!

I have *got* to get tickets to get down there when they are filming. Anyone hear the Captain & Hamster on Chris Moyles earlier in the week (think it was Monday / Tuesday?)

Was fairly good - agree with some of the stuff said here though. Alan Carr just drives me insane - irritatingly camp, and unfunny. I always think the JLC is a good laugh though...

The police car challenge was a good crack definately but agree about Jezza - I was eyes open / jaw slack watching him trash that Fiat Coupe.

The Scuderia article was good but I do really dislike the constant insulting of car enthusiasts (being one myself) with a dorky accent and mocking interest in electronics etc. Way back, Top Gear watch pitched at car enthusiasts - car enthusiasts were the original fan base, and without them it wouldn't have ever got anywhere. To then mock the original target audience really gets my goat, especially when you know that Jeremy is probably every bit the enthusiast but just prefers not to let on, and instead talk about 'torques' like some total idiot.

Anyway - still a good start to the series. Can't wait for more! :)

What an episode, I really enjoyed it. I stayed home yesterday night just to watch and now they're showing it in the office all day long. Damnit!

I can't wait for the next episode. In the mean time I can watch Season 10 on national television down here.
