Stora tråden om Top Gear

Top Gear returns and already the police are involved. The boys are each given £1,000 to buy a police car which will then be used in a dramatic chase. Unlike a real police car, there won't be several hundred metres of forms to fill in if they get a bit dented. And they most likely will get dented.

Jeremy starts the sideways, "power"-shouting, tyre-shredding fun by driving the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, which was postponed from the last series after a journalist crashed it. James, meanwhile, introduces a new member to the Top Gear team...

Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr are the Star(s) in a Reasonably Priced Car.

The very latest Top Gear news and views from the usual team. Jeremy, Richard and James apply their minds to the question of what the British police should drive. At the moment Bobbies are forced to drive around in diesel hatchbacks, gingerly shuffling the steering wheel and letting criminals get away rather than risk scuffing their wheel trims. So, armed with no more than 1000 pounds each, the Top Gear boys set out to buy a bargain priced police cruiser that can take part in a dramatic chase without fear of costing the tax payer a packet if it gets broken. Meanwhile, James introduces a new member of the Top Gear team and steps aside so they can immediately make their mark on the show with a remarkable feat of daring. And as if that wasn't enough, Jeremy tears up the Top Gear track in the new Ferrari 430 Scuderia, the car that aims to put some passion back into the Italian supercar maker's increasingly nerdy and computerised stable. Plus, there's a break from the norm as the Reasonably Priced Car welcomes a pair of stars in the contrasting shapes of the Friday Night Project's Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins. All this, and some sound advice about how to deal with rising petrol prices. Top Gear is longer, stronger, faster, better and probably a bit more on fire than ever before.

EDIT by Viper: No, James May is not leaving the show and no the new member is not a host. It's a stunt Stig or something like that (minor character)
