The Transfagarasan Road in the Carpathian Mountains - Scene of e new TG episodeThe Top Gear Crew are out filming Series 14 in Romania on the stunning Transfagarasan Road in the Carpathian Mountains with a Ferrari, an Aston Martin and a Lamborghini.We won’t get the latest series of Top Gear (Series 14) on our screens until November, but the Top Gear Crew are out filming – in HD, no less – in Romania. Why Romania? Well, you only need to take one look at the picture of the Transfagarasan Road in the Carpathian Mountains above – which the Romanian Authorities have obligingly closed – to see why. You can just see the Mad Mullah of North Wales doing the same for the boys, can’t you?
The Transfagarasan Road runs through some of the most stunning scenery in the Carpathian Mountains, with endless, sweeping, twisty roads and sound enhancing tunnels. So the boys are going to have fun. What are they driving? It looks like they have a Lamborghini LP560-4 Spyder, an Aston Martin DBS Volante and a Ferrari California. So hopefully they had good weather.
The boys – Messrs Clarkson, Hammond and May – appear to have made a good impression on the locals, enjoying the delights of the local cuisine and imbibing the local hooch. Should be a good episode.
It’s a hard life.
