Top Gear new series and the Elan

[rip]

I've just seen a TV mag for next week.
Looks very much like the M100 is this Sunday.

Damn, I hate having to wait! BBCAmerica is a season behind, I think. Is there an online viewing option?

Perhaps some kind member will record it and upload it as a link somewhere for us over the pond

I watch them on YOUTUBE the next day. But you have to be quick as the BBC come along and pull them off by the end of the Monday usually... They always come back though.

Go to bbc.co.uk and download the iplayer. You can then watch them online or download to your PC and watch them at your leisure.

You can't download any BBC attachments if you're outside of the UK. The sites know!

“There’s quite a grown-up piece where we look at the British sports car and why it died,” Wilman says. “Hammond buys a Lotus Elan, James a TVR, Jeremy’s in a Jensen Healey, and they set out on this grim road trip across Britain. It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek because they’re always breaking down but when they end up at the TVR factory, and they’re looking at all the abandoned body moulds on the floor, it’s really moving. An empty factory is a horrible thing.”

Top Gear season 15 episode 5 - Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, Dakar Volkswagen Touareg, Ayrton Senna’s career, SIARPC: Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.

I'm glad Hammond is the one who gets the Elan. He's generally more positive about the cars he gets, unless it really is rubbish. Remember Oliver? Maybe they won't be too hard on the little car.

It's going to be in the next episode on Sunday, at the new and improved time of 9:30pm for you UK folks. Almost past my bedtime over here in Central Europe!

In case you've forgotten the Elan's last appearance on Top Gear:

Original swivelling headlights! And Chris Goffey wearing a massive sheepskin jacket and balaclava as though he wasn't aware that you can actually put the roof up in November.

"This car did let water in. Production cars won't, they say."

However, he did conclude that it was "absolutely superb". Something tells me they won't be so complimentary this time round...

I have just been to the Top Gear recording and they have done the M100 / Jensen / TVR piece today.

It will be on BBC2 Sunday at 21:30
