My best guess is the Olympics. Yes, they could've squeezed in one more episode before they start, but the Olympics start on the 8th, and are a big enough deal that it'll be pointless to air much new and exciting when they're on.

So it's probably a better idea to do a short summer series and then go for a bigger winter one.

That's just my theory anyway.

Fifth Gear will never be able to replace or fill up the gap between this season and the next one.
It just doesn't entertain me, if there is an episode of Top Gear on my Italian Sky decoder i'm like "OMFG TOP GEAR, and change the channel, but if there is fifth gear, my brain doesn't even process what is fifth gear, i don't even notice it.

I'm too much of a gearhead. I even have a friend who went back to Beijing to work on the Olympics (yes, she's cute), and I'd rather watch TG than watch athletes fill their lungs with grit from China's horrible air pollution.

I can't wait to see this episode. I read May's column in the Telegraph where he said he really enjoyed his time in Japan. Doesn't look the racing Jaguar Mk2 will make this series though. Shame. Perhaps there will be some special airings of the deleted bits before Series 12 in October? Please, Mr. Wilman, please?

I can't believe that sunday is the last episode of top gear for now. Now I really haven't got a clue what to watch on telly anymore. I think that my computer will have to run overtime, cause now the only thing I watch is top gear, and that's gone after sunday. You guys really have to help trough some really boring sunday evenings. images/smilies/comfort.gif Just can't believe it. images/smilies/cry.gif images/smilies/cry.gif

^ That was previewed in Series 6, so probably never. Shame. They should make a show including all the bits that were missed out over the years. That would be excellent.

Back in Surrey, Richard gets his hands on the pig-ugly Gumpert Apollo, and then hands it to The Stig for a hot lap. We know it's a quick car, but you'll have to watch the show on Sunday to see if it's got what it takes to bag a place amongst the prettier exotica at the top end of the lap board.
lol, wut? It is going to be the apollo, not the furai..........
