In every TG there are bits that don't make it to the actual episodes. I'm thinking of course about Richard being in an armoured Fiat Panda that gets shot by a machine gun a couple of series back.

Nothing to worry about images/smilies/wink.gif

, they just didn't air it (yet).

There was also the myserious Alfa challenge of Season 9 that never made it I don't think.

Yeah I know what you mean.

I guess they could not fit them in. Same with a earlier preview that showed Richard getting shot inside a bullet proof car but they never showed it. images/smilies/sad.gif

Ok sometwo beat me to it images/smilies/smile.gif

Dude, if you rip my comments, please refer to me as the source images/smilies/tongue.gif

Archie411 · August 6th, 2008, 2:04 PM

Ahem I told you I got late while I was capping the cars. Sorry about that but I already knew about the Richard getting shot before you posted it here. images/smilies/smile.gif

I know they don´t always air everything, but I can´t figure out how half of the stuff they did this season could possibly have been better than powersliding some old racing cars... images/smilies/sad.gif

I wrote a post about the missing hammond-in-a-electric-chair bit, but they just closed the post images/smilies/sad.gif

Uh... recall 10x06, the Alfa 159 vs. man walking across a river challenge?

It was actually originally made for S8, but for peculiar reasons it was only shown in S10. So those things that weren't shown might have only been shelved for a longer series in the autumn. And if it starts in October, we might expect a 10/11-episode S12 filled with goodies.

ViperVX · August 6th, 2008, 4:15 PM

Since TG announced (i think it was Andy Wilman) that their goal is 14 episodes per year, next season will have (mathematical experts can help us here) 8 episodes.

Of course i'd love to see those segments, i assumie they were cut from the final rotation for being the worst outta the lot, therefore probably should stay on the shelve.

I'd like even more if they released them on topgear.com in like a month, as a little treat for TG internet community.

That's a great idea! It would go hand-in-hand with the uncut material they post. I images/smilies/plus1.gif

that as well.

When do you think you're gonna be getting your next win? images/smilies/tongue.gif

(sorry... couldn't resist lol)

j8mie · August 8th, 2008, 3:55 PM

I must admit I'd love to see Hammond trying to make that armoured Fiat Panda from a few years back online.

Syl · August 10th, 2008, 11:26 AM

yeah i was scratching my head about this motorized tilting chair bit also, hope to see it in the next season

I suspect it'd be with the nasty low-bitrate quality that's used for News Uncut, though.

Stick a Polo Harlequin on one of those sections and it'll be like looking at a macaw through a cracked mirror...

Mercury · August 10th, 2008, 11:07 PM

These things always remind me of the Peugeot 306 vs Austin Healy segment. When it begins they show a Skyline doing donuts, then the 306 emerges with the same colour and I was 100% sure it would be the Nissan images/smilies/sad.gif

Love the Skyline.

If I'm not mistaken, that Skyline doing donuts was also in the season's preview but it was never actually used.

BTW 600 posts images/smilies/biggrin.gif

That's the most I ever had on any forum images/smilies/cheers.gif

They showed it on the segment but I think it was just to show what the young lads do to cars, If they'd of used the Skyline in the race it probably would of beaten the Frogeyed Sprite by quite a distance!

The old jag segment was a tribute to 50 years of British touring cars I think, they might be saving it until the later series when the BTCC season has finished, although I don't really know why they'd be doing that.

I'd be surprised if the BTCC segment doesn't get shown, it looks like they'd of gone to quite a bit of trouble to get quite a few of the classics there only to not show the film.

captain_70s · August 11th, 2008, 12:12 AM

Well, you never know, there is another season in the autum where these segments could be shown.

I think I saw an old Chevy Camaro (67 perhaps?) next to what I believe is an old Jaguar MKII. I sincerely hope that they've just tucked this away for the next series, it looks like a good video!
