They must be running out of ideas and material, the skoda vs the jet pack footage is taken from the Top Gear at the Movies dvd which was released some time last year.

Clarkson and May are great when they leave out annoying Hamster, the Saab feature was great and I learnt that they wernt just Vauxhalls in disguise.

Girl in the white jumper (behind Dr Who) was very easy on the eye

I enjoyed it, had 2 classic 900 Turbos, a 99 Turbo, 9-3 Aero and 9-5 Aero (still got) before I got the Scoob. Great underrated cars, 9-3's can be bloody quick too!

Your Mrs used to bring engines home all the time?

She must have had a big handbag to sneak them out in.

Didn't enjoy this one as much as normal. Thought it was a bit dull TBH. The road vs air race has been recycled many times and the Saab feature although informative was a bit boring.

All IMO of course.

I feel its the same old,same old,with Clarkson pointlessly burning rubber drifting around the track in the c63 black,just like he did in the SLS,599 gto,911 gt2 etc.BBC should have spent money on keeping F1 instead.
