Motoring news and views. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May confront the credit crunch head on as they attempt to find three sensibly priced small cars that won't make you miserable, a process that involves haranguing bankers, harnessing large dogs, and almost getting arrested. Plus, James meets American stunt driving legend Ken Block, Jeremy tests the mildly insane Mercedes SL Black on the track, and Michael McIntyre is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
I am so looking forward to James and Ken.

'On this week's Top Gear, the presenters fight back against the global financial crisis, James May meets a man who can do very surprising things with a Subaru and Jeremy drives an utterly mental Mercedes.
In an attempt to find a glimmer of hope in the barren wastelands of the recession, Jeremy, Richard and James set out to find three small budget cars that won't make you completely miserable. What could have been a series of worthy buying tips quickly descends into a road-based assault on central London that very nearly gets them all arrested.
James meets American stunt driving hero Ken Block and discovers that it's possible to make a Subaru Impreza soar like an eagle. All you need is incredible skill, huge amounts of courage and a really massive ramp.
Meanwhile, Jeremy will be clinging on for dear life as he attacks the track in the monstrous 661bhp Mercedes SL Black.
Back in the studio, our star in a reasonably priced car is well-spoken comedy sensation Michael McIntyre.'

Well, 30+ in a tin shed of a hangar, under studio lights would have been quite hellish, I concede!

Bloody hell. That's 10 degrees hotter than it was here. (Normal temps in southern "O" usually hover around the mid to high 20's in June/July.) BTW, how was the humidity your way? |
