Oh good, replace the Z4 review with another V8 blender. Brilliant.

I'd say the Z4 review was replaced by the Jag XFR review; and the airport bus stuff is being binned for whatever the hell Jezza's invented now.

I was at the recording yesterday. Was a fun show and Jeremy's invention was very cool. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The star was much more entertaining than I thought especially the bits they probably wont show on tv images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Something tells me that the airport racing thing was deemed to be rubbish and they changed it at the last minute.

It says "bumped", to me that implies that they'll be using it in an upcoming show. I guess time will tell.

Wow, talk about "sensible consumer advice." In this picture from the top gear website it looks like they're doing emissions testing on that Jag.

I am itching to see what he says about it in the ice racing film. It looks pretty banged up from the pictures I've seen.

Touring car drivers..hope they destroy a lot of stuff..always makes for good TV..

We'll see tomorrow...

Errr, if you're looking forward to the touring car driver bit, you'd best go back and re-read this thread. It's been postponed.

Right, the airport transports being driven by touring car drivers. They're keeping the Frenchist, ice driving bit but that's driven, mostly, by the TG3.
