I vote we hack into the Olympic programming and play reruns of Top Gear. I seriously doubt anybody will mind.

Interview where he says no Top Gear until 2013.

I guess this is how Richard Hammond is able to do his own show.

Not the Olympics apparently,...

http://jalopnik.com/5908890/jeremy-c...people-singing


Jeremy Clarkson Confirms No Top Gear Until 2013, Blames ‘Fat People Singing’

Jeremy Clarkson just confirmed our report about there being no more Top Gear until 2013 is true, although the reason is not the Olympics. It's Simon Cowell.

Yesterday, we reported that the Jezza let slip on a South African radio show that they weren't going to be showing any Top Gear in the fall, meaning we'd have to wait until January to get our fix.

People threatened to jump off things. Others tried to find some way to deny it. Denial was strong with fans of the British motoring show, but in typical Clarkson fashion he took to his very real Twitter account to say "it's true."

The "fat people singing" is probably a cruel reference to Susan Boyle and Cowell's show Britain's Got Talent. Or one of the like 60 other shows Cowell produces.

Oh Jezza, never change.

I'd rather go antiquing with my girlfriend than watch top gear USA, which as we all know is the most horrific thing to do ever

Its on Velocity on DTV IIRC. They have commercials for it all the time, but the fat guy that hosts it annoys the hell out of me.

I wonder if May is as pedantic in real life as he is on camera. I hope it's not a "character" but rather he just overdoes it for effect.

Bored?

Fun game: http://www.topgear.com/uk/games/game...challenge.aspx

The driver stats for Clarkson, Hamster and May are so true.. Clarkson with the least knowledge when you pick your driver.
