Top Gear tonight...star in a moderately priced car

[Scooby_snax]

well it was due to be Davina McCall but she got a sore throat (must have been due to her inability to say anything without shouting) so at the last minute they got Damon Hill to step in. Appparently he even donated his fee to charity.

[alexkp]

Wow! I gotta see this!

It's also pretty brave of Hillm because if he doesn't top the leaderboard it will be rather odd.

[hustlebabe]

Cool.

Guessed he would donate his fees to charity - good bloke

[flat_steve]

Interesting to see Damon appear in the limelight after years off the box, also read recently that Damon's going to test a Formula GP2 car too.

[remal]

well i'm looking forward to that then. lets just hope he does not have to pass anything as I don't think he liked doing that in F1

[parrot of doom]

Well, lets just say a certain German didn't like him passing.

He might not if the track was wet when he did his lap

[AndyWoodall]

Looking forward to this, this series guests have been pretty weak imho.

I know it’s only a bit of fun and all but an ex racing driver is hardly playing the game.

Just so long as we don’t have to start listening to racing driver excuses. “ well I got of to a good start and was on for a podium finish but the gearbox ,tyres, other drivers etc etc………….."

[Twincam16]

I think if anything Damon would criticise the car if he didn't do as well as he 'should'. Compare it to the sort of thing he was champion in and actually, he'll have a point!

[simpo two]

Hill vs Stig is an interesting thought!

[groucho]

Maybe Hill is the Stig.

[Lois]

I wish I was a celebrity! Let me at the track!!!!

Hmm.

Now there's a challenge for reality TV.

"Make me a Celebrity"

Wonder if the PH massive could work out a way to make Lois a celebrity and get her on TG?

[Lois]

haha!!

[koenig999]

According to the ST, also features snipers, the Porsche Boxster and the Merc SLK ?!?

Let's hope it's better than the Rolls / pool segment/

Koenig

OTD - Mathew Jonson - Followed by Angels

[groucho]

I will expect a thorough slagging of TG here tomorrow.

That was a dire episode, the previous one was quite good, with the TVR and wiesmann. Indeed, lets hope there is an improvement.

During the DB5 Stig test, there appeared to be a huge 747 on the back runway. I didn't realise it was that big!
