Top Gear countdown! - 12 days - Daily spoilers from The Mole

[CarMadMike]

Great news everyone!

 

No, There isn't a Dacia Sandero R, but Topgear's new series starts in 12 days!

 

The same as last time, the Mole (This mole gets around doesn't she? :cheeky:) will be giving us some previews into the new series, i'll put them in spoilers so people can't moan we have wrecked it for them, your choice! :)

 

Spoiler 1:

 

 

 

Series 13 preview: TG Goes Clubbing

 

Less than two weeks to go until Top Gear’s back on your telly, so here’s the first of The Mole’s daily new series preview leaks.

You might have seen a couple of pictures from this film splattered across the press last week – Jeremy, Richard and James taking part in a classic car rally. The producers stuffed a few quid in each of the boys’ pockets to pick up a suitably rubbish old nail at auction and sent them off to join a procession of genuine beardy enthusiasts.

The twist? The office chose their co-drivers too…

I love these challenges, plus the twist is brilliant too!

[TIMELESS]

Good post Mike. Can't wait for the challenge :p

 

Something else is bound to happen :D

[Jazzi]

Oh amazing, I didn't know it was due to start back up again! I'm so out of the loop these days. Thanks for the update & the spoilers! Can't wait now :D

[T1M]

Great news, can't wait :)

[Jacob]

Weeeee no more repeats!

[Pherelas]

Nice, somthing to look farward to just after exams.

[Car Freak]

Basically whatever you do, don't go to the Top Gear website for these next 2 weeks

[Baldy]

Spoiler 2:

 

 

Train Vs Bike Vs Car

 

If you’ve seen the photos in the paper of Clarkson and May crashing that wedding in Scotland, then you’ve got a head start on this one. Top Gear turns back the clock half a century to race the length of the country in suitably old school transport.

Jeremy – as you’ll have seen from those soot-faced confetti pictures – sets off in a steam train, leaving Richard and James to fight between classic car and vintage motorcycle.

That’s all we can tell you at the moment, but you won’t have to wait long to find out more – the producer has told The Mole this race will likely kick off the new series. Probably.

This one sounds brilliant :D

[kinom D]

both sound excellent, as usual from the TopGear boys, I mean producers...

[KoenigseggBG]

Oh joy. :woot: Let it be the good old TG challenges. :D

[Speedtouch]

A basic run-through I've done of what was in this month's TopGear magazine:

 

 

- The Touring car drivers are back again to try and find out what is the fastest airport vehicle.

- The boys go on a classic car rally. But the production team choose their co-drivers.

- Jeremy and James go out and make their own 'better than the boring rubbish we get now' car TV adverts.

- James meets Ken Block (Gymkhana vids) and experiences it for himself.

- Best car for a 17 year old - the guys find out through a cheap car challenge what is the best car for 'a 17-year-old who's just passed his test and lost any trace of common sense'.

- Richard and James drive the new Panamera in a race against a first class letter from the Scilly Isles to the Orkneys - the entire length of the UK.

- The guys looks to find the best small car on sale. Warning: If you have kids, after watching this they may immediately start pestering you for a dog.

- The boys go Ice Racing in the Alps in another cheap car challnge - £1500 for a RWD. Things apparently don't go well.

- Power lapping (and presumably reviewed aswell: Jaguar XFR, Audi D8 V10, New BMW Z4, Renault Megane R26R, Ford Focus RS, Corvette ZR1, Merc SL65 Black and Lotus Evora.

 

 

 

And for those who aren't in the UK (or watch TV) - the first TV advert has been put out:

And finally, a spoiler of what will be in the first episode:

 

Top Gear Sunday 21 June

8:00pm - 9:00pm

BBC2

 

Motoring news and views. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May compete in an epic London-to-Edinburgh race, setting out to discover what Top Gear might have been like 60 years ago. James grabs himself a gorgeous old Jaguar XK120 sports car, while Richard chooses to torture himself on the Vincent Black Shadow motorbike, and Jeremy takes the Tornado, a new steam train built to the blueprints used to create some of Britain's finest locomotives in the heyday of the railways.

 

[Car Freak]

That trailer is properly epic!

 

"I don't want to grow up..." :rofl:

[Car Freak]

You don't have to wait if you don't want to... You should be able to watch the new episodes one or two days after they air on streetfire.net

[Speedtouch]

Or download them off Finalgear usually about half an hour after it finishes airing. *Shameless plug*
