Did you get to see the test track where all the stars drive the reasonably-priced car? Any cool/super cars there for the filming?
Jeremy Clarkson is a arsehole, but so am I, lol...
No, he was cool, make a lot of jokes, really kept us laughing the whole time, and he doesn't seem 6'5", lol
During the actual filming he talked a lot to the audience and cracked jokes, but during the break he pretty much left and smoked, lol... They all did... LOL!!!
Hammond was amazingly the most useless... James was funnier than him, and he chatted to the audience a lot during the break... I will also say that even though we now get Top Gear in HD, James and Jeremy look REALLY old in person


I was on the episode where they tested the 3 super minis in Italy and had to leave the city that's within a wall... And they also tested the Aston Martin Virage, and in the studio they had 2 of them there, both orange... That was it in respect to the cars...
The Toyota Hilux pickup that they TRIED to destroy was there, and holy crap that thing is REALLY screwed up, but a LOT more paint than I expected was still on the car...
And I did get to sit in Jeremy's OLD captains chair because it was off to the side and when they did the guest interview (Ross Noble) I figured it was a good time to relax... (No chairs anywhere, and standing for like 4 hours sucks)


EDIT:
They don't SHOW you TO the track, but the studio is REALLY close to it, so you do see it... And before they took us, I heard some tires screeching and KNEW it was the star in the reasonable car, so I snuck away and got as much video as I could before being told be security to leave


And it's awesome being an American there. While we were waiting to go into the studio I tried to talk to all the people I could and be friendly and they ALL asked how it is to have a gun and to shoot one, LOL!!! (No guns in England [for the most part])
