[vexor]

Richard Hammond celebrates the 40th birthday of the iconic Ferrari Daytona by taking one back to its spiritual home on the Riviera before attempting to beat James May and a multi-million pound power boat in a race from Portofino to St Tropez. Meanwhile, back in the UK Jeremy Clarkson is out on the test track testing the new BMW M3 saloon against a young pretender from Japan, the Lexus IS-F.

Not a bad episode, but not one of the best...

Besides, those races always seem more fun and dramatic when Jeremy's in them.

I thought It would be worse for the Lexus...he didn't even complain about the noises from the gearbox as tiff did, and you could hear them all the time when he was chasing the BMW, i think he quite liked the lexus, really. I love both, and for the style, i think i would pick the lexus.(even with the fake exhaust)

"What is that accent?? Are you american?"
"Yes..."
"BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE... you're not FAT!?!?..."

haha best moment in the show and another stroke of genious by clarkson :D

[black_diamond]

He said "What the hell kind of accent is that?"

"I'm American"

It was even funnier when he looked at her shoes.

that joke is kinda stale, not all americans are fat, that joke is the same as saying all limeys have bad teeth... which is obviously not true, my mother had perfect teeth

[HeilSvenska]

It's Clarkson. That man is just rife with antiquated stereotypes.
