D-Motor vs Top Gear? Oh yes, please, please... images/smilies/biggrin.gif

BTW: As a German I want more anti-Germany jokes from Clarkson, he became to soft in the last times...... what's up, old man, run out of jokes? images/smilies/biggrin.gif

The old car challenge is just going to end in tears for them and laughs for us. Imagine having to come up with a working Alfa for 1000 quid... sheesh.

Nobody is going to get full reliability points on this one, that's for sure. Every car will fail at least 5 times...

Great news, I doubt they can get any better considering how good season 10 was, but if they stay at that level i will certainly not be disappointed. The Top Gear vs D MOTOR war sounds great, The Stig and Sabine still have a score to settle from their recent car football match on D MOTOR.

I agree with all of the above....

But, it's the mention of the new character that has me intrigued. Like the Stig, but not? I'm guessing a BAD driver version? Someone who represents the idiot drivers of the world?

I can't imagine them adding another host in the true "Speaking role" sense.

Now I really can't wait to see what they've done!

I don't really think he was either serious about adding a new character or it's just going to be silly.

That or it'll be Sabine.
