Top Gear #25: Born In The USA!

quote:

Never let it be said that Top Gear is trapped in the past. Times move on, things change, and we must all adapt and embrace new technologies.

Like biofuel, for example. OK, the stuff may smell like a particularly fetid kebab shop and require vast swathes of perfectly good countryside to produce, but apparently it's the future.

Intrepid entrepreneurs that our presenters are, they decided to see how easy it would be to produce their own fuel. Especially when they found out that it meant playing round in some big tractors on our test track.

Can the boys make enough fuel to power a car? And can Stig powerslide a tractor? Find out in our greenest episode yet...

Raging bull
You know how it is when you're out shopping for supercars. Sometimes you want a nice understated one, just to pop down to the shops in or ferry Granny to her bridge night.

Sometimes, however, you want a hulking lump of barely contained fury - an outrageously loud and unmissable display of brain-melting aggression.

You want, in other words, a Lamborghini. And with the new LP640 Murcielago out - six-and-a-half-litres of V12 fury - there's never been a better way to give a firm middle-finger salute to, well, everyone... if you've got the best part of two hundred grand lying around.

After a gentle day of rural pottering, what better way to restart the adrenaline than a foot-flat-to-the-floor road test in the meanest Lambo ever?

Kristin Scott Thomas
Yes, Jeremy has finally convinced the woman of his dreams to come on the show. If you don't know already, JC has a bit of a thing for the sophisticated actress from The English Patient.

Actually, that's not true. He has a very big thing for her. We're a bit worried he won't actually make it through the interview.

How will Kristin fare in our Reasonably Priced Car? Will Jeremy remember how to speak English? Will the entire front row of the audience be drenched in Clarkson saliva?

Find out this Sunday at 8pm on BBC2.

Die aftiteling was overigens Monty Pythonesque briljant, !

Natuurlijk is het grappig, maar ik kijk naar top Gear om de auto's en niet om te zien hoe je een space shuttle bouwt. In de eerdere seizoenen was er imo een betere mix. Dit seizoen krijgt de 'off-topic' onzin eromheen meer aandacht.

Toch jammer
