The reason is very simple. I remember a programme in which Jeremy said that BMW was expecting them to test the new 1-series, but that they decided not to test it. Everybody laughed of course, but without knowing the real reason of it .
The scaglietti was tested. Not only in Top Gear but also in Fifth Gear, at the same time as BMW 645 ci. I think it was Richard Hammond the driver.
And the Land Rover Discovery...are you joking? . Jeremy has tested and has compared it to the Range Rover (his favourite 4x4).

No, no! It was three enzos, a slr and a cgt, and it didn't jump long enough, so it crushed the cgt!! Bad memory?

As you will notice I was the person that uploaded that video onto RF...therefore I think its fair to say that I might know which programme its from...and it was of course from fifth gear and NOT top gear as you say.

When TG tests a car, they will write about it in the meg before showing the clips on TV. It's just a matter of patience
