I'm not sure if the magazine has a calendar online, but they do have some really cool wallpapers (which you can also send as e-cards).

I'm running a 1280 x 960 and a 1024 x 768 monitor, so those pictures are perfect! I'm currently sporting two of the Audio RS wagon desktops. I absolutely loved that article in the magazine, so these high-res desktops are amazing! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

admittedly I would ordinarily be running 1600x1200 - but my setup still can't manage that yet. Time to use that on-site warranty methinks images/smilies/tongue.gif

All of the pictures are from Top Gear magazine not the show, so I'd say it has no direct bearing in whether or not the show tests the car.
