Anyone know when season 13 plays on TV?

In the UK its on every Sunday evening, as for locally, it will probably be on BBC Knowledge towards the end of year if the time they aired season 12 is anything to go by.

Okay I managed to get the first 4, how many have been aired already?


Still on topic, will Topgear ever do a piece on the "street racers" in London? Ive always been a fan of some of their cars and they have quite a following... Have done one already?

Exactly, thats why I would rather have the F1.

The Bugatti is one grosse piece of german showoff engineering, ugly and heavy to boot.

Lol, more elegant than the F1 imo.

Keep in mind the F1 is 17yrs old already and it still kicks the grosse veyrons butt in the 1/4mile. It's still also the fastest naturally aspirated car out there.

Also keep in mind the Bugg's lux. interior and just the fact that it is soooo heavy.

I heard for the price of the Bugatti you can buy every model that Merc makes? Is this true?

Doubt it.

Maybe a fleet of the non-sport models. The SLR 722 goes for about 500,000USD the last time I checked.

My reason for not thinking so :D

Top Gear is awesome! Its the Car world's House :D

I think this is the closest they've come:

yes looks alright, but I reserve judgment until I actually see one.
though, I'm pretty sure I could drive to JHB faster than I could post a letter to JHB

The Porsche Panamera is a kind of off Porker imho...

saw it last year on its way to Upington in Northern Cape...we were on our way back from Kuruman when we passed 4 of them being tested. They stopped so we stopped and approached the ""German"" drivers with some S.A okes...

They did not want us to take pics nor did they tell us anything about the car...it had no Porsche badges etc...

wasnt too impressed by episode 7.
they seem to have lost the plot a little. there's too much of them messing around and it's too scripted....and you can see it is.
not too sure about the vw ads.
and is that all that could be said about the Aston? beautifully filmed and I get what they were trying to say...but they shouldnt have...should have been more
