Would like to see a Nurburgring feature with a fast car rather than a van

The abov- mentioned stuff is just a small part of the new series. So don't worry there will be lots more

Well you know what Sabine said in the previous series, when Jeremy did the Ring in 10 minutes with the S-type 2.7d? "I can do that in a van!" Well you'll see the answer to that statement in a couple of weeks. Cigarette1 was at the Ring during the shooting. Just have a look at his topic in the What you saw today section

I was abducted by aliens and when they released me I found this guide stucked into my arse
Seriously: Yesterday I saw the Top Gear magazine lying in a store. It had some funny plastic sitting around it on which was written: 'Free The Ultimate Top Gear TV Guide'. So I couldn't resist grabbing it and take it home (after I payed of course ). When I opened it I found this nice little mag in it

Allready trying to undermine the review before you have even seen it.......
Even if it is a M it might not be perfect, I see no wrong in saying so in a review.....He does the samew to Audi`s you know...... |
I just think he's incredibly biased, although admittedly, he is entertaining.
He does it to every popular brand though, except for the "untouchables" such as Ferrari (because if you screw Ferrari in a review, you're excommunicated from their list of press people).
Aside from his obvious bias, I think the only real problem with him is that he looks at every car at face value, and not the real benefits/costs of owning one.
The Mazda RX8 vs Nissan 350Z is one glaring example. He raved about the Mazda, but never really talked about (although he did mention it passively) how much the Mazda would eventually cost you... which isn't exactly "cheap" as he described it. In fact, for what the 350Z costs initially, you'll save far more money with the 350Z at the end of the day compared to the Mazda.
...but of course, he won't say that, because it would make Top Gear a sensible show, which might make it boring.

Yes, they showed it at the beginnig of the 1st episode last season, but they had also released it a few weeks (or days) in advance before the season had started to promote the new season. Was just wondering if we'd get to see another one of those nifty teasers.

Absolutely!
It's kinda funny though. Every time a Jaguar or and Aston is compared to another car of the same class or catagory, he will choose the Jag or Aston every time, no matter what the competition might be. I suppose thats just him being loyal to England though.
