Should be quite good:

Top Gear
Sun 6 Jul, 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm 60mins

Jeremy Clarkson and the team present a Top Gear Summer Special.

James May and Richard Hammond look at the best new convertibles when they test the latest VW Beetle, Citroen Pluriel, Mercedes CLK, Mazda MX5, Daibatsu Copen and Audi Cabriolet. Clarkson puts the Nissan 350Z through its paces, Top Gear's own James May nominates the Citroen DS as his 'Greatest Car', and supermodel Jodie Kidd is our 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car'.

Plus in a Galaxy far, far away, Top Gear finds the driving 'Master of the Universe' when a Dalek, a Klingon, a Cyberman, Ming the Merciless, Dr. Who (Colin Baker) and Darth Vader go head-to-head on the track

I applied about 3 weeks ago, but I got a call back the same day.

The tickets turned up in about 3 days.

Apparently they are heavily subscribed for Top Gear. I was lucky, I applied for a day that was already full and they offered me the next available one as they had only just started issuing tickets for it!

They even asked me if I wanted more tickets!! I only asked for two!!

Pete,

I checked the BBC2 website, which will show what is on TV up to a week in advance.

What's on BBC2 this Sunday

Click on Top Gear for the bit I copied and pasted earlier!

Paul,

I think you may have just been unlucky!

I've had a quick look at the site, and it seems that there are no more tickets to issue for this series of Top Gear.

It says they are taking names for the new series scheduled for late August. I dare say your name is now down for that, if you filled in the online form!

I filled it in about a 3 weeks ago. I assume that I was very lucky in getting tickets!

As I say, I applied online, got a phone call a few hours later to confirm the dates available and how many. The tickets turned up a couple of days after.

Good fun, but we're shattered from all the standing around!!

There should be a couple of shots of Chinese guy with a stupid grin and a 'LAZY GTI' t-shirt on!!!

Andy

Are you sure that you got the tickets in the normal way ?

My take on it

Top Gear have had a appeal for people that have no taste when it comes to modifying.

There is only one TANGO

Do we have to wait untill Sunday for the truth to come out ?. I heard that Subaru UK have offered to buy your car back rather than let you mod it. Failing that if Subaru do the same as VW with the Golf Ad "Some things are better left untouched", then TSL and yourself will have the prime spots

LOL @ Chins! Subaru are more than welcome to buy my car back!

All I can say is watch it on Sunday! My cheesy mug will be on it, but if it helps out Jodie Kid is gorgeous!

There are some surprises in store!!
