I finally got to watch the first episode of 2009 season which just premiered here in US few weeks ago, thought it was pretty awesome, aside for the Stig/Shumacher stunt which I read about but still wanted to see, Hamster riding Black Shadow was a nice treat considering how rarely motorcycles appear on that show and general attitude towards all things 2 wheeled by Mr Clarkson

Steam train was pretty awesome, especially when it gets wheel spin at 50+ mph, XK is a gem but the Vincent made the whole show for me.

I wonder if it was real Stig or Shumacher driving that FXX cause that lap was fucking amazing!

That was a good episode. Don't recall all of it since it originally aired back last June but that race was awesome. Supposedly Schumacher appeared as Stig only because Ferrari wouldn't let the regular Stig drive the FXX.

That's what I thought, what a publicity stunt though!

That Vincent was really hawt -- pity it behaved precisely as antique motorcycles are wont to do. :P
