Maybe some more specials would be nice, like the Lamborghini and BMW episodes a year ago. And after watching (and thoroughly enjoying) Clarkson's Motorworld series and Meet the Neighbours, how about some country specials? Put the cars of a certain country together, see how they are alike, and different from other cars, etc. Should be fun with TG's sense of humour. Well, you already did Korea last week, so that's out of the way.

I obviously can't post full shows (I'd love the BBC to say its okay, but its not likely. Yet.) but I can possibly do requests for stuff in the downloads section, so you could at least see your favourite clips again.

Suggestion:
As you can see in the "what's that song" section, we love the music on Top Gear:
http://forum.finalgear.com/viewforum.php?f=28
Perhaps it would be nice to have to have that info available from the source rather than us trying to guess it (although Zenon does a good job).

Anyways, I love the show and the website!
And thanks for posting here!

We get asked this a lot. Of course the show has a detailed record of every piece of music used, so it wouldn't be hard (although a little time consuming!)

Another idea for my list!

I'm not here in an official capacity, I'm just gathering ideas, and trying to make what we do here a little more open to the people who watch and enjoy the programme.

I'm sure the competition at Channel 5 have a few of their guys lurking around here as well... So maybe you shouldn't tell us too much.

I think it would be great if we could have one of those online chat sessions with one of the three hosts.

What do you say BBC? Is Jeremy, Richard, or James hanging around the office?
