Default Top Gear - Season 7 - Ep 3 - 27 Nov

Motoring magazine presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. The chaps take their favourite supercars on a continental road trip - the Ford GT, Ferrari F430 and Pagani Zonda. Car cultures clash when the Austin Healey Sprite takes on a Peugeot 306, and the Focus ST takes to the track.
Sounds like another cracker to me!!

A good thing about this 6 episode series is that each episode will be top quality!

This GT vs F430 vs Zonda feature could very well be the best one ever.

I hope I won't be disappointed 8)

Well I must say, this sounds very good but what I'm wondering is what Zonda are they using? Not the F version I suppose but just the C12S. I was hoping they could maybe test out the C12 (400hp version) out...

Richard - zonda (driving the "cab" in this episode, right?)
may - 430
jeremy - GT

He bought it back, probably at a considerable premium as it was advertised for a while at a private dealer. He gave it back to ford and got a refund originally because it was against his ethics to sell it, the only reason he got one was because he is Jeremy Clarkson so a bit unfair to use his name and then sell it on at a premium!

This episode truly was astonishing! IMO the best one yet. The supercar feature was finger licking superb. The Focus ST review was filmed in a mouth-watering way! And the humour made me laughing my ass off several times.
