Jeremy Clarkson met with co-star James May and Top Gear boss Andy Wilman in a secret meeting, as the trio continue to plot their next career move.
Clarkson, 54, is said to be weighing up his options after being dropped from the BBC yesterday for punching producer Oisin Tymon.
Mr May and fellow co-star Richard Hammond are both expected to leave the show with him, after claiming the trio come as a package.
However, in a hint that the Top Gear contingent may be planning to work together again, they were spotted together minus Mr Hammond who lives in Herefordshire following a secret meeting in London.
It came as it emerged DIY SOS star Nick Knowles may be in the driving seat to be the next presenter of Top Gear because the BBC believe he is a 'safe pair of hands
Clarkson was spotted being dropped back to his trusty bicycle in west London by driver Mr Wilman and passenger Mr May following the meet-up.
It is not yet known where they met to discuss their plans, but Mr May gave the biggest hint yet that he has no plans to return to Top Gear after suggesting he is to go back to normal life.
Speaking outside his home today, the presenter admitted he was already considering what to do next with his life - and suggested he might even ditch cars to become a teacher.
He said: 'I might want to do something completely different with my life, I'm quite old now. (I might do) something outside of cars, I always wanted to be a teacher.'
He also seemed to confirm speculation that he would leave the top-rating programme.
Hinting that the show had reached the end of the road, he said: 'We always knew it wasn't going to last forever'.
-------
The apparent show of solidarity comes after insiders revealed that Mr Wilman, the executive producer who created the show's format with Clarkson, and Hammond will also refuse to make any further episodes without the former frontman.
Last night, following the announcement that Clarkson had been dropped by the corporation, Mr Wilman could be seen leaving his close friend's apartment.
Mr May added today that he would 'not necessarily' be returning to Top Gear.
He said: 'I always said that on the day it ends for me I'll have to be magnanimous and look back and say "well that was a stroke of luck, now back to normal life", and that seems to have happened.
'We did it for 12 years. It's a very big moment in our lives, but nothing was going to last forever. We always knew it wasn't going to last forever. We just didn't know how it was going to end.
'So here I go, I'm about to eat some beans and go back to my normal life.

Speaking about the sacking decision, he added: 'It was a very harsh one, but I think they were probably forced.
'I don't actually know the entire story. A lot of people are making judgements about it, but they don't know the full story either so I don't know.
'This only happened yesterday. We have to spend a lot of time thinking about what we do next.'
Clarkson was dropped by the BBC after an internal investigation found he had launched an 'unprovoked' 30-second physical attack on producer Oisin Tymon because he was offered a plate of cold cuts instead of steak and chips.
Yesterday, Lord Hall, the director-general of the corporation, publicly announced that the BBC would not be renewing Clarkson's contract, saying he had 'crossed the line'.
North Yorkshire Police today revealed it had spoken to 'potential witnesses' over the Clarkson 'fracas' saying it had 'a duty to investigate where we believe an offence might have been committed'.
Following the sacking, the BBC's creative director Alan Yentob last night made it clear he wanted May and Hammond to continue presenting the show without Clarkson.
But both co-stars - who could even be offered Clarkson's role - have now separately hinted that they could leave the show behind.
--
Mr May said yesterday that the trio 'came as a package', while Hammond - not ruling out a return - said the move marked 'the end of an era'.
The Times also reports that the duo, along with Mr Wilman, will refuse to make any further episodes now that Clarkson has been scrapped.
The news has put the future of the show into doubt, prompting mounting speculation about who could take over the reins.
The BBC has said Top Gear will return in 2016, but recognises that it will be a big challenge to find Clarksons replacement.
