Random Twitter sightings

[Amie8]

Don't know if it has or not, yet. Clarkson has said that, apart from a "couple of Christmas specials" there is no series this year.

He contradicts himself all the time, but there's still time for them to film a special. It's usually done in September or October so all is not lost

another post by Clarkson saying, that there will be no Top Gear till next year, we have to wait and see if this realy does count for the X-mas Special, too

 

[Evel]

I doubt that he's including the Christmas Special when he says that. Pretty sure he'd make a more concise statement if the Christmas Special were cancelled too.

Old news. We've known for ages no TG apart from the special until the New Year. Expect similar timings to this year, hopefully with a much better special than that Indian garbage.

Thankfully, that's not Clarkson... just a Facebook impostor. The only social media that Clarkson uses is Twitter. Same goes for James May. Richard has accounts on both.

Two TG related tweets from Jeremy today:

I cannot tell you how fantastic it is to be back at the Top Gear test track. The sun's out, and four of the five cars here are brilliant.

This is what you DON'T see in the passenger seat on a Top Gear item.

Unless you all know what car that is, might I suggest we take it to the 'Guess that car' thread?

 

[polonyk]

this is quite an easy one, isn't it?

 

[A.J.]

No "guess the car" needed. It's literally right on the shift knob. Astra VXR.

 

[Lekky]

Yea... hah.. I knew that. Just testing..

James May is in Wales with this:

He's rumoured to be visiting the Sweet Lamb rally course today, but that is only a rumour. No sign of JM on Twitter today, so he's definitely working

(who decided to call a vehicle test track and rally course "Sweet Lamb"?)

He said yesterday he was in wales, so I guess he was telling the trurh/ Good find.

 

[Mr. Nice]

Another piece involving a 458? Let's hope that it doesn't focus solely on the Ferrari.

 

[Amie8]

An answer (of sorts) to your question, Mr Nice.

What happened to the car Btw ? It seems that the bentley was lifted up or jacked up ?

 

[laxmax613]

Air suspension, probably. The Audi version of that platform has a lift setting, so the Bentley probably does too.

I would have thought that the Bentley would drop lower...not raise higher. Oh well.

 

[laxmax613]

There are a number of settings, including both raised and dynamic (lowered)

Not really a twitter sighting but I just saw this. Contains lots of spoilers. Really looking forward to the GT86 review, I remember JC saying one day that Toyotas were the most boring cars on earth.
