Awesome, can't wait for them to be back.

"we go to war, literally, with a German version of Top Gear (which incidentally means Sabine is back)"

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

will be epic ^^

Dins · May 20th, 2008, 12:48 PM

Would be awesome to see those two fight it out in a "awkward-yet-funny" battle.

mclarensmps · May 20th, 2008, 01:19 PM

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.

Whappeh · May 20th, 2008, 01:21 PM

Mazda Furai?! Thats the stuff babies are made of. images/smilies/drool.gif

jensked · May 20th, 2008, 01:28 PM

Yes! I'm sensing a "buy an alfa romeo" for 500 quids competition!

That should be a lot of lols.

airmenair · May 20th, 2008, 02:02 PM

Wow, I'm now really excited for the series! I can't wait for the cheap car Alfa challenge, ooooh it shall be memorable!

vikiradTG2007 · May 20th, 2008, 02:07 PM

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

smib · May 20th, 2008, 02:39 PM

I want an entire episode for the Furai. I can't wait for this season to start.

I just watched some Top Gear last night, and hoped that there will be more epic races. images/smilies/smile.gif

Suedschleife · May 20th, 2008, 04:47 PM

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.

Ilpav · May 20th, 2008, 07:22 PM

That's great news. I can't wait till Series 11 starts!!! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Prost264 · May 20th, 2008, 07:45 PM

Sabine is back?? I'll shut up about the new series then. images/smilies/smile.gif

EverydayDriver · May 20th, 2008, 07:49 PM

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!

Lilleput · May 20th, 2008, 07:53 PM

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.

salguod · May 20th, 2008, 08:34 PM

It sounds like this series is going to be fantastic. Can't wait for the race, I've been longing for another one for a while.
