Bid for two tickets to the filming and Stig laps

Hope this is in the right place. It is info about S17, but isn't really a spoiler - please move if I've done bad!

This does appear to be genuine. And Oh God but I'm tempted

cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-Tickets-Top-Gear-and-Stig-Laps-1-BFBS-/120720914717?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c1b86f91d

But it does contain one useful bit of info:

The ‘Stig Laps’ will need to be arranged for the same day as the recording of the Top Gear studio show. Dates which this Auction Item can be taken up would be any Wednesday between the 22nd June and the 27th July 2011 – the exact date can only be confirmed on the Monday before the studio recording.

So I guess we now know the filming dates, and by process of deduction, TG should be back on our telly on the 26th June ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It also hints at when Series 18 will be

I'll not be bidding, mainly because I've not got any money (I'm finding that I really rather dislike being unemployed), but also because I've had the pleasure of being driven around the track by a lunatic already, so I'll give someone else a chance because it's great fun and as many people as possible should get to try it

I'm watching the price at the moment - I have a limit very seriously fixed in my mind, but if it goes over that then I'll have to let it go. I have been round the Top Gear short circuit (both driven and driving) but I'd love to go round the full one. Plus, the 'arrange a date with the producer' bit catches my eye slighty!!

I was told we did sub 1'40" on one of our laps of the full track, which two-up in a saloon car is fairly impressive ;D Hammerhead, though, is definitely aptly named - regular car seats and seatbelts... my goodness, I was grateful for the headrest (and the crash helmet), but didn't I know about it!

Turns the back of the sofa out........a paper clip, a manky tissue, and a cuddly toy......oh and a penny, this is sadly out of my league
