Loon,

How odd - I'm going down there too! My mate has some tickets and someone dropped out so I'll be going along with him in the Tuscan!

Whereabouts you travelling from?

Leatherhead in Surrey. Going to hop on the A3 at Oxshott...

Could meet on the BP services on the A3 if you like? It's after you join it from the M25, which I presume is the way you'll be going?

How did you blag your way in? I've attended a 'Driven' shoot but 'Top Gear' is certainly the best in class.

But why is it always raining on their test track?

Sounds good to me, what time will you be setting off? and is the BP actually on the A3?

Loon,

This may be too late now :-/

We're leaving in about 15 mins. Might be easier to meet at the show. I don't actually know what time we have to be there as a mate is organising it all.

Look out for my car tho, and if I see yours I'll come over!

Might take some sort of Pistonheads sticker to wave around.. lol

Ok then, they had the new T350C there and a new car from Nissan named the 350Z not for me im afraid. They would not let us take any photographs (sorry chaps) although I took my camera along just in case. Also there was an audi TT there with an engine in the front to power the 2 front wheels and another one in the back for the rear wheels and it produced "800 BHP". Stig did not like it though and it wasn"t as quick as they thought round the track either. Mixture of 4x4"s on review, lotus esprit v8 twin turbo, religion challenge etc etc, great day, recommend it ! Tickets are available from www.applausestore.com

Did you actually lower yourself to laugh at Clarkson's "jokes"?

Sorry, obviously intruding on some fans here but Top Gear's the only time I'm happy for my wife to watch some sh!te about hospitals when something about cars is on ...

I think the comments that get made about Jeremy's "crony's" standing in the background laughing at his jokes are down to the way the show is filmed.

Some of the comments that are made are genuinely funny but due to retakes they're not as funny the 2nd, 3rd etc time. But the producers etc do ask that if you found something funny the first time, that you laugh on the next "take". I think this is why it seems a bit forced at times.
