Please add me to your Top Gear ping list. This is one of my very favorite shows.
Watching Jeremy Clarkson put down the eco-freaks is so pleasureful.

Love Top Gear! The Corvair, Pinto, Suzuki episode (”Temp Death”) was the funniest thing I’ve seen on television in a LONG time.

Wrong Top Gear. That is the American version which is not going to come even close to the British version.

Oh didn’t know there were Top Gear fans on FR :) I’ve been watching it for years, unfortunately (or fortunately) I watched the entire season already as it aired from the UK.

Wore my eye patch and grabbed me the episodes the next day (does my best pirate arrrrr), since we don’t get the current season on TV for many years here, please add me to the ping list too. Thanks.

Maybe they are adding that to the start of the season for you folks, but that was the Christmas special after the end of Season 17, not part of 18, along the lines of the polar special etc,

Us Yanks are always a year behind the UK for any BBC shows.

Has the identity of the mysterious Stig ever been revealed or convincingly speculated about?

Michael Schumacher was one of the recent Stigs. Perry McCarthy and Ben Collins were also early Stigs. I think they have several each season.
