Chim on New Top Gear

[Tyre Tread]

I've just seen a trailer for the upcoming series of Top Gear with Flintoff earing a wet suit while sitting on a Chim between a yellow Ferrari and a red car I couldn't see enough of to identify.

The Chim reg is something like C7 ?RO but you only get a glimpse.

Anyone know what they are up to and where and when it was filmed?

I would guess that’s a Monaro.

I used to have a Monaro, I've clipped a section of a photo of it below. I'd agree that it is.

Let's hope its better than the last time a chimaera got featured on top gear...

Was it Geoff lol

Wetsuits and bikes on the roof... Some sort of triathlon?

When is this on? I'd like to record it so that I can watch the TVR bits whilst fast forwarding the rest

They haven't released transmission dates yet, just a "coming soon" teaser.

Who’s car was it I wonder and what engine size. I hope it’s a fast one and not some old nag.
It will need to be a bit nippy and on some decent tyres against those two cars.
I hope it’s Freddy driving it though.
I don’t watch it but he was a truly great sportsman.

Hasn’t he said previously that he really wanted one when he was younger?

I hope its not a "Go and buy a V8 sportscar for under 8K...." and that they bought rough ones as then every man and his dog will want to buy the best of them for £8k (or whatever).

That's a 355 isn't it? If you can get them for under £10k I'll have a few

Ooh, wonder if it's a Mr2 with a kit.

It's C7 VRO but it doesn't seem to be a valid registration at the moment. Hopefully this doesn't mean it was destroyed after being in the hands of Topgear?!

I hope not - when will they realise that no one thinks trashing Classic Cars makes good telly (except Morris Marinas).

But they have no choice, Clarkson used to trash cars so they have to. This is why I can't watch it, they just churn out old TG shows over and over again

Did he ever trash a nice car though?

He drove a volvo through a wall, which was a bit of a shame but can't think of anything else.

Has anyone developed an app or filter to remove a talentless tt from the video and soundtrack yet?
