Andy’s written another blog post giving us an update on the filming for the new season of Top Gear. I’ve linked to the threads in our forums about the various segments if you’re interested in more details.

Another quiet week at Top Gear. We’ve just finished shooting our Cheap Alfa Romeos Challenge, Top Gear vs The Germans is also in the can, our new character has just shot his or her films, and in the edit suite I’m very happy with our We Can Make Better Police Cars piece.

Richard’s just shot a birthday tribute to Touring Cars, and Jeremy’s fiddling with his CLK Black film, cos he’s not happy with the structure. There was a scary moment when he said he’d found some music that would improve it, but fortunately this time it wasn’t a 16 minute keyboard solo from the 1970s, and it actually has improved it, not that any of us in the edit will ever tell him.

Elsewhere Lord Stig has come out of suspended animation and whacked in his first lap time of the new run. It’s for the F430 Scuderia and bugger me, glue down any ornaments on top of your telly.

Just over 19 days to go!

That’s right, once again we’ll be competing in The 24 Hours of LeMons, an endurance race featuring lemon cars costing $500 or less.

However, our team needs sponsors — people like you! Donating not all that much will get your name or company on the car and help propel our team to victory! Full details for what your donation size will get you can be found on our forums.

In his latest Times column, Jeremy mentions that Top Gear will return in three weeks which works out to be June 22nd as we previously suspected. Yay!
