Top Gear UK New Season Premiere

[Kurcha]

Did anyone watch tonight's episode where the Fiesta ST is shown in the season Premiere?
Coolness!

The title should read "Top Gear"... If the forum's gods can change it it will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Richard Hammond: it's superb... It's the biggest grin maker the ____ world has ever seen!

I have it recorded. The description shows it is a two part show, so I'm waiting until the second part is there.

I did watch the one with Jeff Goldblum and laughed like an idiot. I thought I had seen them all (I have them downloaded), but don't remember this one. Perhaps it's my alzheimers kicking in.

Do you mean last season's Fiesta episode? The new season hasn't started yet. Season 21 ended on March 16.

Yeah I'm not finding anything about a season 22 already having started?

 

[Kurcha]

The new season aired yesterday and the episode is called "The Perfect Roadtrip" it is a two part episode...

Thanks for the correction in the title!

Oh that's a TV movie. Aired in Europe back in November I believe. Must just now be airing here.

I'm not sure it's actually season 22. Dish shows it first airing yesterday, but season 22 isn't mentioned on any site yet. I suspect that Dish screwed up.

Yeah, it's a DVD special. I think Clarkson tweeted about starting filming for season 22 within the last week or so.

I'll take a screen shot when I get home, in either case, they talk nice about the Fiesta ST and it comes out along with ultramegaexpensive cars... It aired yesterday for the first time here in the USA.

When Richard Hammond said: it's superb... It's the biggest grin maker the ____ world has ever seen!
I can't make up the word he uses so I used a blank... I don't think it is a bad word I just can't make up what he's saying.

So I believe it is a Top Gear Special... here is the screen shot:

Does anyone know why the hell was season 21 so short?

Does anyone know why the hell was season 21 so short?

I think it just seemed short,
Season 19 (series 19) had 7 episodes
Season 20 had 6 episodes
Season 21 had 7 episodes

I watched the episode (The Perfect Road Trip) again and I thought it was cool because the FiST was chosen along with:

The Perfect Roadtrip from Venice (Italy) to Pau (France)

From Venice to Brianza (Monza Race Track)
Ferrari F12
-Option prices mentioned in the show in English Pounds(?):
Racing seats with carbon fiber ?5184
