You know what?*We've had 18 seasons over 10 years of TG. I've got a good feeling there are at least a few more seasons before JC calls it quits...really nothing to complain about.

...BBC should hire chris harris for the time being for a short run of 30 min shows.

This is probably why Richard Hammond is doing "Crash Course" in BBCAmerica.

Only thing wrong with Chris Harris is his lifetime ban from Ferrari. While it speaks greatly of his character, it is unfortunate that we will never get to see him review a Ferrari again. (Though he may sneak one in every once in a while via a friend's car.)

I wasn't aware of that. What did he do to get banned from test driving new Ferraris?

Wrote an article about some of the tactics Ferrari uses to win sales, particularly how they send ringers to magazine reviews.

Very interesting. I always figured manufacturers may send ringers for some tests, but I didn't realize the lengths Ferrari went to.

No doubt it's gonna suck to go without the only real Top Gear for a year, but I will forgive & forget if the BBC gives us a FULL (like 18-20 episodes) season of Top Gear in 2013 with a couple quality specials/challenges.

Cannot stand getting 8 episodes & then having nothing again for 6 months
