Unfortunately in america we don’t get the new seasons of Top Gear as they premiere, but at least we are now only one year back. As the Brits enjoy season or “series” 14 as they call it, us Yankees are just about to be treated to S13. BBC America has been carrying Top Gear for a while now but as far as I can remember this is the most caught up they have ever been.
Enjoy the season 13 preview video and hit the jump for info on what to expect in season 13.
