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.

Why, oh why, did I click on this? It's getting me too excited for the new series. Can't wait – it should be good! Top Gear on a budget is always hilarious. £100 cars is easily one of my favourite episodes.

The 21st can't come soon enough.

I'm glad James got the old Jaguar with Richard on a bike and Jeremy on a train, so there will be at least a 55% chance of it not ending up in a ditch and set on fire.

The Jaguar. The train I'm not so sure of. Depends on how good security is with keeping Jezza away from the control room.

Excellent, they are starting with a race. It seems so long since the last series. Now I don't need to rely on the reruns on Dave for a while.

They're on!

Twenty minutes ago I happened to switch onto BBC1 and I just caught the very end.
Just as I was about to switch off I saw a Stigian Helmet.

I did only catch the very end of it, the Stigian helmet was overtaken by BBC2s symbol and the chap said "The boys are back."

Useless news, I know, but it confirmed the date (June 21st) and it means the adverts are on.

Even if I could record it, it'd be to VHS. And my technology isn't yet advanced enough to post VHS to the interweb.
