A potential Top Gear Spot?

I saw a lorryload of Kia Sorento's outside the Amazon warehouse in Balby, Doncaster (just behind the big B&Q off junction 3 of the M18).

Numberplates read:

Team JM
Team JC

All were covered in grass and mud with varying degrees of damage on all vehicles. Ran into the office to grab my camera but the truck left so couldn't get a picture

Very interested to see what frolics these cars were involved in to end up in that state.

Anyone know anything about what may have gone on or do I have to wait for TG to start again.

Yes. I watch Top Gear. For entertainment purposes.

Probably something for TG live. AFAIK there is no more TG this year due to budget constraints and the availability of messers Clarkson, May and Hammond.

They'll still be filming features and reviews for the next series though. Could possibly be a one off thing for the Euro's as mentioned above.

Sounds like TG live, which iirc only involved May&Clarkson this year.
FYI they have just started filming for the next season.

They have started filming this week for the next series. It's only May and Clarkson doing it so your spot could be about right.

No TG without Hammond? Not sure about that tbh. Anyone know the real reason he'snot doing the next series?

He is in the next series. They just don't need him for every feature they film.

So your reading twitter too!
Not all top gear items feature Hammond. We can manage without him this evening.

Fairy snuff. The way the earlier post read made is seem as though Hammind wasn't doing any of the next series.

He's just doing other stuff at the moment (according to the TG presenters' twitter feeds)

Yes but Clarkson's twitter feed states:

"Tonight, after a four month break, the Top Gear machine will be started up. And we will start filming for the next series."
