I think we are going to hear within a week Hammond will also quit, he has sort of hinted and now May said hes going I can't see Hammond remaining.



Coming soon to BBC2 a new exciting dynamic new car show...TOP GEAR 2...bigger better and not one laugh not one joke not one out of place remark and most important no more insulting people in other countries.

"Top Gear" host James May says the show without Clarkson would be "lame" and will only return with the original team.
I would tend to agree, but now that May and Wilman and possibly Hammond out of the picture who knows what will happen now.

All four (Clarkson, Hammond, May and Wilman) could be planning a return with a different broadcaster:

Andy Wilman interestingly also joined the trio at the exclusive gathering - just hours before he sensationally quit as the Top Gear executive producer.

Probably Sky, I would think. Murdoch's Empire likes to pinch things from the BBC.

I wonder if they will kill the American Top Gear show and bring these three over here.

We don't mind violence.

Between the three of they can do a slam bang wallop of a show, after they are loaded. Must not forget the DVD sales.

I'd rather watch Australian Top Gear then watch American Top Gear. I've seen a few episodes of American Top Gear but they where "meh" when compared to British Top Gear.
