Haha no not at all, I think they both seemed happy to talk to someone.

Oz was very talkative.....

I'm sure people could be a lot worse if they saw a Top Gear presenter in their local village, people like the guy who got out and said "I'm an avid fan, I watch Top Gear all the time"

Unlike me, walked up to him, introduced myself, asked a few questions, he asked a few back, then got my camera outimages/smilies/biggrin.gif

Loved their first two adventures and can't wait for the third.
Good also to have the start of TG season 12 confirmed, even though I'll have to catch up with the first episodes when I'm back from my own Big SE Asia Adventure in November... images/smilies/smile.gif

Sweet! Good work!

When's James and Oz coming back? I quite liked the first two seasons. Just wish they'd pop over to Australia, so I can feel proud and patriotic..

Great find! It's probably not surprising to hear that the chaps regularly visit FG. It's 2008 - who doesn't use the Internet?
