Top gear

James said that they should "turf" the mayor and Richard responds with "is that code from that secret club you go to. You see a guy in a leather cap and say, I would love to turf him"..... I couldn't stop laughing

Is James gay? That bit there that they were talking about and a bit after just made me think is he gay?

I love these specials that they do, they're so funny.

I honestly don't know but I don't think so.. He is just a guy who plays piano and lives on his own.. he is not married so they take the piss out of him and say he is gay

Another great episode last night.. Love Simon Cowell on the show but have to say he is wrong... Top Gear is better than X factor.

Here is a preview for next week

Jeremy does his bit for global warming, sort of, by encouraging drivers to ditch their Range Rovers and Porsche Cayennes in favour of a 500bhp estate car.
James takes the Alfa Romeo 159 to the Humber River for a race against a very tall man wearing a giant condom.
Richard and James cause a few sleepless nights in the Ecclestone household by inventing a wildly destructive new motor sport.
The new Honda Civic Type-R tries its luck on the test track.
And England rugby hero Lawrence Dallaglio squeezes himself into our reasonably priced car.

The race around London was brilliant. I can't believe that the Stig travelled around London on public transport and no-body gave him funny looks. The banter between Jeremy and Simon was top class. epecially the part when Jeremy asked him what band weren't signed to his record label and he said the Spice Girls. Then Jeremy said he liked them

How dare Cowell say X factor is better than top gear!! but comparing Richard to Danni was funny

A few people gave him funny looks Loved the bit where he tried to read a newspaper and where he had the coronation street themetune on his phone and just stared at it

Who would buy that purple racecar?! The amount of safety they had there

Top gear is much better than the X-Factor They have better banter

We pay homage to British Leyland, which at one time was the largest car manufacturer in the UK - well, at least during the brief periods when its workforce wasn't on strike.

Jeremy, Richard and James will be forking out for some used models from the infamous brand, before subjecting them to a series of tests designed to find out if they still have that special BL magic.

We'll also be taking a look at the new DBS from Martin, Aston Martin. Who knows, we might even get through the whole review without referring to a certain fictional secret agent. Damn!

And they did not refer to you know who. Delicious car that DBS.

Good show once again. Driving a mobile fish tank it was hilarious when they went over the kobbles.

Hold onto your cork-brimmed hats this Sunday as Vauxhall throws another V8-powered shrimp on our motoring barbie. This is just a mere taster of the cultural stereotyping you can expect when Clarkson checks out the replacement for the much-loved Aussie Monaro - the VXR8.

Renault temporarily loses its senses and hands Richard the keys to a full-blown Formula One car, and a Grand Prix star of a very different kind pays a visit to our studio.

Also in the show, Jeremy and James go in search of the car that set the mould for what we all drive around in today.

Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson was called in for questioning by police after he was caught on camera confronting a group of yobs.

The TV star was having a family day out at Xscape ski centre in Milton Keynes for his daughter's birthday when the youths started harassing him.

He grabbed the ringleader by his hoodie and verbally threatened him. A 14-year-old girl recorded the incident on her mobile phone and showed it to police who called him in for questioning.

Writing in his column for The Times, Clarkson said of the incident: "I asked them politely to leave me alone. I walked away. I even walked away a bit more. But they kept coming.

"And so, figuring that attack was probably the best form of defence, I grabbed the ringleader by his hoodie, lifted him off the ground and explained, firmly, that it’d be best if he went back to his tenement…"

The yob accused Clarkson of assault but, after the CCTV footage was analysed, the police decided that there was no evidence that a crime took place.

They said that if anything Clarkson was "the victim" and that no further action would be taken.
