Are old Mercedes really the best cars ever built? Vicki puts an old cliché to an extreme test on tonight’s show. Using a baseball bat, a staged ‘accident’, a four-foot-deep flood and a monster truck, she dishes out some serious punishment to a poor old Merc. Will it still work when she’s finished with it? You may be surprised… Meanwhile, Tom is in Japan visiting the world’s maddest motorway services. Daikoku Fotu in Tokyo is a normal service station by day, but by night hosts a huge unofficial car party. People dance in the car park, vans full of speakers battle it out to see who’s loudest, and the street-racers see who can make the most smoke by spinning their tyres. The police eventually turn up to shut the party down – will Tom get caught? Nick Freeman is a hugely successful defence lawyer who’s been dubbed Mr Loophole because of his extraordinary ability to find a flaw in the law. Nick has represented many of the rich and famous including footballers David Beckham and Lee Bowyer and the demand for his talents has made him his millions . We look at a day in the life of the loophole lawyer to try and uncover some of the secrets behind his success.

The life of a lawyer.... oh how interesting :roll:
