It is great to see the Hamster up and running again! Am hanging out to see it again as well. another month seems like forever, especially since fifth gear is usually not very interesting.

:good:

Who is making the real money from this franchise, and where is it being spent - because it's obviously not being spent on their TV show production.
All the money goes to Jeremy.. How else do you explain him driving a GT40 and a Ford Focus btw
he doesn't drive a GT40! he has a GTand an H2 btwso for someone who hates American cars so much he sure does like to buy them.
There are several TG episodes in which Jeremy admits he has (or maybe he doesn't have it anymore right now) the GT40! For example an episode in which he complains about the car density in London, because he can't make U-turns with the car in London. It's simply too big :')

*edit* It's an episode in the 6th season


*edit 2* WOOPS: My bad! I meant the new model of the GT40, I thought it was named the same :') Ofcourse he has the GT, my bad

Jeremy: "Roush is also responsible for the alarm/tracker on my GT, so that's not so good. " :')

I remember the episode! He means his Ford GT, not the old GT40. Clarkson always says other names then the actual name, like he calls the enzo the F60
