TG where even the ads are the best thing on TV!!!! I'd go for the second one too, with any luck there will be some more - Brits keep yours eyes peeled.

EDIT/ NB Both Tigers and Badgers are 'stripy'.

What are you on about? Badgers are RWD, always have been. Tigers may be AWD but like many with a similar arrangement they are set up for mild understeer to make them safer in real world so the only way to get the back out is by lifting off mid-bend or by seriously provoking them, usually with a sharp stick!!! Depends on the conditions when the Stig takes them out. If it's wet then the AWD tiger should have it in the bag, but in the dry I'd back the badger - just watch the tigers nose wash wide around the hammerhead!

I think badgers will oversteer and the Tiger who got more traction will kill the badger and then make a bloody pile of gu that says Top Gear!

I love the second advert when they trow a biscuit at Stig... he doesnt even blink with his eyes, that how cool he is!

Im waiting for the new Top GEAR! Give me now!

Yeah, I loved both ads. They were great, but not revealing. I think it's best to keep everything under wraps until it actually airs, so there is a better sense of surprise and excitement.

Unlike, the previous 2 series where they showed all the major stuff in the ads. images/smilies/dry.gif

Anyway, well done Top Gear Team!!! images/smilies/clap.gif
