My guess is they are trying to make as clean a break from both previous modern Top Gear formats, this season seemed less about emulating old Top Gear and more on trying new things.

GT isn't until November but we haven't heard anything from BBC yet about a second series of new new new TG. I'd like to think we'll see something from TG before November since BBC is usually pretty good about churning those out, but we'll see.

We just got 7. I doubt we'll see anything until next year.

As you may already know, the awesome Edd China has left Wheeler Dealers because of changes made by Velocity. Now, Mike Brewer is calling him a traitor. So, a hardy gently caress you to Mike.

I'm not sure how there are people out there that don't instinctively hate Mike Brewer on sight alone, that's the reason why I've never watched the show, I just want to punch the TV whenever I see his face.

Anecdote: my brother has met Mike Brewer twice and says he's actually quite a likable fella in real life, when he's not playing his one and only character, the cockney twat. Incidentally I've also met Chris Evans in real life, also not a twat when he's just taking poo poo about cars, but instantly switches to HEY HEY I'M AN INSUFFERABLE GINGER oval office as soon as there's a camera on him.

I went to a car club event at Silverstone in 2004 and Brewer turned up uninvited and tried to worm his way into the track by pulling a "don't you know who I am!?". When it didn't work he had a tantrum in the car park.

Counterpoint: Chris Barrie always played pricks on TV, but he's actually a really nice guy and quite James May like regarding his car nerdiness in person. TBH, of the "celebrity" types I've met, I've found they're perfectly ok if you just treat them as you would anyone else, and just say "hey man, I like what you do" rather than being in either rabid fanboy or "you loving suck" mode. Besides, a "don't you know who I am?!?" attitude won't get you anywhere with me, because the immediate and most relevant answer is "not me".

There are a few massive bell ends though and some absolutely lovely people, it is never how you expect them to be. Lesley Joseph is absolutely lovely for example.

Update, I asked my brother about Mike brewer again and apparently he was a complete bellend when someone politely turned down a cash offer on a car they'd spent years restoring with their parents and had no intent of selling, so maybe he just puts on a nice face for the non tv public. In my experience how someone behaves when they don't get what they want is pretty indicative of who they really are. Apparently Jay Leno is like that too when people won't sell things to him?

Let's be honest, Mike Brewer is a cockney used car dealer. Anyone who is surprised that he's a bellend has lead a very sheltered/lucky life.

Wonder if it's related to the spare part they were trying to source on Twitter yesterday. "Richard, just go without it. What's the worst that could happen?" Glad he's okay though. That has to be scary.

Briefly resurrecting this thread to say that I met Mike Skinner at Goodwood at the weekend. He was a super nice dude and is just as enthusiastically American as the impression I had of him from the show. Drives the gently caress out of a NASCAR truck as well. That is all.

In May? I knew about his affinity for the Sandero, but that's going above and beyond.
