I thought the race was particularly boring - strangely they suggested that it was boring during the race.

Had the Zonda not had a meltdown I think they probably could have squeezed a few more tenths (unless it's common that it belches blue smoke). Surprised at the Veyron's result though.

Episode 5
*Bus racing - like the motorhome racing - same drivers from BTCC - so they are used to swapping paint. It's a battle as to who can survive more than first over the line.
*Car vs boat - James in a whizz bang powerboat worth 1.2 million quid vs Richard in a Ferrari Daytona from Portofino, Italy to the French Riviera. It's to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Daytona.
*Lexus ISF vs BMW M3
*"What I found on the internet" is back - but these ones they can show on TV. Jeremy's moved away from the man in lingerie getting intimate with a Range Rover - which is what they didn't show us the last time they did it.

Bloody hell you can do a beach landing in a Fiesta! Saving Private Ryan was doing it all wrong.

That was one of the most amusing episodes ive seen in ages... Fiesta beach landing was a highlight, although i guess not recommended in the handbook....
And the Australian car companies are whinging about some stone chips.... LMAO!!!

The Caterham lap by The Stig was one of the most entertaining he's done too.

Can you buy the episodes from anywhere? Theyre not on ebay and my internet is too slow to download. Whoever has series 1-12 on their computer I will buy it off you if you burn it to data dvd's so I can play it in my computer.
