" Nurburgring legend Sabine earned Top Gear celebrity status after appearances in the show's former guise, not least for lapping the Nordschleife in a Transit van quicker than Clarkson could manage in an S-Type."

I think you'll find that she never. What she did was drive the S Type faster than Clarkson.

You are right

Slower in the Transit van by 9 seconds than Clarkson was in the Jag! (according to wikepedia)

So they've got MLB busy, him and Evans in Reliant 3 wheeler convertibles, with Stars and Stripes and Union Jack flag graphics on each one, driving from London to Blackpool. http://www.autoblog.com/2016/02/19/top-gear-matt-l...

Trailer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p03phk70/prev...

It looks painfully like they're trying to remake exactly the same Top Gear.

Same fake sick joke that Clarkson did with Cameron Diaz.

Not at all, but when they distilled down the most fresh, exciting ideas from the series to produce a trailer that could tell people what to expect from the new team I thought it might look at least as different as one Top Gear series normally does from the previous. Until now I thought that was a notoriously low bar.

You want me to describe a thing I was expecting to see that is different from what's gone before but which wasn't present?

Err, ok. I was expecting to see a yoghurt pot.

The part when Matt LeBlanc says about the costume department is so awful, looks like they're trying too hard to be funny and it's not going to work at all.

Eddie Jordan! Noooooooooooooooo everything that comes out of his mouth is aggressive, antagonistic or negative. I watch entertainment programs to be entertained and relax, not get wound up and frustrated.............. I go to work for that!

What could he possibly bring to the show?

Explains why the old show was such a flop.

if anyone is anywhere near Blackbushe, they are apparently filming there today, not sure what time they finish, or if they have already.
