That was the first episode of the second half of the 15th season. The christmas special is on boxing day.

Great show, thanks for the post. Agree they WERE pissed at the Stig.

I've never been to Sharks In the Mountains, but now I know it's a safe event with 35-45 speed limits on the parkway....

Awesome as usual. Use the ***** to put out the fire!!!

It really is safe, only folks like AO even drive that fast.

I never heard, who was the stig? Very well known?

Guy named Ben Collins. Seems he outed himself with an autobiography and fought off a legal challenge from Top gear thus the bad blood.

Actually he was outed prior in the newspaper (although you can bet it was a deliberate leak so he wouldn't have to worry about breaking his confidentiality agreement with the BBC when he went to print with his book).

He'll probably earn more with his book than 8 years on Top Gear...

Agreed, he was "out" sometime in August/Sept.

Guess they need to hire a new driver. I say they make it David Coulthard.

In case anyone wants to see it (yanked off You Tube) the actual Xmas episode (3 Wise Men):

^^^Good post! Never would have thought what they would find there at the very end!

You would also think that keeping clear of a "line" to ****** another car would be common sense!
