Tom gets special access to America's most exclusive supercar club, based in the wealthy desert city of Scottsdale, Arizona. There are just twenty members, who land their jets at the private airport, then walk a few steps across the tarmac to an extraordinary hi-tech underground garage fit for a James Bond villain. Within it are a host of Ferraris and Aston Martins kept in pristine condition. Tom looks behind the scenes and meets the millionaire owner of the club.

Meanwhile, race aces Tiff and Jason scrap it out on the track to find the best super saloon. Tiff takes the awesome Audi RS4, a four door family car with more power than an Aston Martin. Jason is at the helm of the BMW M3 CSL – it's much less powerful than the Audi but is lighter and more agile. The boys go drag racing, hold a drifting competition and finally have a race to find which car is best.

Elsewhewre, Vicki drives the new Alfa Romeo Brera, the most beautiful car to be launched this year. In the past, handsome Alfas have disappointed in the way they drive, so will this one buck the trend?

You may have had an email inviting you to join a scheme called "The Pipeline Card", promising discounts of 10p a litre on the price of fuel. It sounds too good to be true, so consumer champion Jon Bentley investigates to find out if it's just another internet scam or a legitimate attempt at saving people money.

And we meet the man who has had no luck in selling his house, so has now decided to throw in his immaculate Ferrari for free. Will the prospect of a £100,000 car on the driveway tempt any genuine buyers?
here's a question, since when is an M3 CSL a "saloon" (sedan)?
