is the series over?, i just finished watching season 13 episode 7 and at the beginning of the show richard said it was the end of the series and then at the end jeremy had the dramatic bit with the vantage v12. so is it just the end of the season or the whole show?

No need to worry, it's just the end of the season, the boys will be back next summer. FYI on Top Gear, "Series" = Season. They just finished with Series 13.

thanks for clearing that up for me, i was depressed the news michael shumacher is going back to F1 , i thought he was going back to racing because the show was over.
so i was adding all of these things up and got depressed about the show maybe ending.

Hate to break it to you but Schumi ain't the Stig. He was at Fiorano practicing while TG were filming. The stig is almost certainly Ben Collins.

Happy Days - Top Gear series 14 starting - end of October/Beginning of November -

Yeah it was up on the TG website, they're right back to filming in a couple months.
