Top Gear strikes again?

Looking at the trailer that followed this weekend's Top Gear it looks like they are going to be playing trains again but not with steam... this time it looks like diesel and petrol engines. Watch the next couple of episodes? :madgrin:

Foxy

 

Watch out for the NYMR Chairman/New Editor of Rail Express is what I've heard......

 

whow shold be fun i have just heard that they are trying some sort of challenge to do with car and caravan and railways not sure on how true this is... does anyone else have any more on and of these updates

 

Yes, they did a lot of filming on the G.C.R. There's a pic of a car with a "train" of four caravans on the track at Quorn in this weeks Loughborough Echo, the GCR newsletter reported that filming took place at all four stations and various points in between. On air at 8pm Sunday 17th July I believe.

 

Did you spot any Morris Marinas in the locality?

 

Many thanks for this information I will definately be watching it for a good laugh

 

Stig tied to the tracks perhaps?

 

Or Ben Collins. There's a preview of the episode (with a other bits of the episode.) on TopGear.com. In a small clip James May seemed quite happy that they were going to a Railway.

 

The synopsis for this episode says the team investigate ways of making train travel cheaper and more fun.

 

Could just be their way of trying to get caravans off the road.:madgrin:

 

so what will the stig be driving on this program then my money is on the CL47 that in the trailor nearly makes Clarkson soil himself
has anyone knowingly ever slid a 47 or any deisel into a bend?? and who is the stig on this program as its rail based this time

 

Maybe not the Stig but the Stig's Train Driving Cousin is a possibliity such as Big Stig, Janet Stig Porter, Rig Stig etc from some other challenges.

 

I saw an XJS breifly as one of the cars that was in rails.....

 

It certainly looks like an XJS in the preview, im not quite sure that it would be able to pull very much with nearly 300BHP at the rear wheel's. Just a shame that they chose a car that survives in so few a numbers, the amount of XJS's surviving is now considerably lower than the iconic E-Type!

 

That's just about the best use of a Peak i've ever seen...

 

Brilliant!

 

Well they didn't actually wreck the XJS but not sure how easy it would be to put back to road use.

 

largely faked of course, most of what they did simply wouldnt be allowed. Quite entertaining though and it has made me determined to go to almost Loughborough or nearly Leicester one day soon.

 

Was that really Mr Murray Brown in the goggles? He likes to live dangerously.
