    Got an email this morning from the applause store to say that i have been preselected to go on top gear this summer and they gave me all the dates they will be recording to choose from. I couldnt be happier as i was free on every date so i just choose the 8th of July for the laugh.
    Anyways has anyone been on the Top Gear show before, what should i expect apart from a day of awesomeness?

    Booked 4 tickets, but iv asked 2 people already who love top gear and they cant come (very regretable about it lol), i dont wanna give this ticket to someone unless they REALLY appreciate what an honor it is to be selected for top gear!!! Its like winning the lotto (on a smaller scale)

    I might end up giving 2 to a boardsie!

    Well done on getting picked. How long ago did you apply? I signed up to the applause store a while back but didn't hear anything.

    Maybe i'll get lucky!

    I signed up around 3 years ago, but that doesnt matter, its a random selection so you could have signed up last week or 5 years ago, you're all in the same lottery! which is good i suppose it gives everyone an equal chance, there is something like a 17yr waiting list if they were to do it on a first come first serve basis!!

    I would love to go, but I have no-one who would really be interested in going with me, so I never thought there was much point in signing up for tickets.

    I need new friends :(
