Starts tomorrow, 8pm, BBC Two. Very much looking forward to it! 
And before anyone says anything, I'd like to establish here and now that Jeremy Clarkson is a legend.
Top Gear - Series 12
Good, is it a proper series this time? The last one was over far too quickly.
No idea I'm afraid. I certainly hope so though. 
*checks for info* According to Wikipedia we're getting 8 episodes. No specials listed though.
I want one of these:
Saw one of these in the local paper for under a grand.
It's got old school charm.
Buy it. Buy it now.
I can't drive, but may still buy it.
I could take short cuts in London up the Thames.
I rode in one of these in Michigan almost 30 years ago:
Clarkson is one of them people who you just need in very small doses. He can be entertaining, but in about twenty minutes he soon becomes a pain in the arse. Hammond is the most boring person on television and I'm fed up of hearing of that bloody bump he had two years ago. I like James May. At work, people have called me James May because apparantly he looks like me and has the same personality. I can't see it myself.
Totally disagree with you on Clarkson and Hammond.
They need to drive one of these:

Oh come on. Aren't you sick to death of hearing of Hammond's crash. He just constantly talks about it. My Dad is in fact so bored of hearing about it he wished he'd actually died.
I don't find that he "constantly" talks about it. The occasional reference to driving fast, but that kind of remark amuses me.
Disagree. He can't believe his luck when he had that accident. He has made alot more money on books (On the Edge), found himself on more chat shows and has generally become more famous.
