Theres a new host images/smilies/mellow.gif Wonder how he'll blend with the current FG crew. Damn they should bring Adrian back from the ol' days!!

I look forward to any car reviews by Tom. I'm interested to see what he thinks of the Q7. Ohh and I also like any crash tests!


btw: Sorry for posting this episode late as the details were released later than usual. Also note that there could be an error where it says that VBH puts two Suburu's against each other as that is also listed under episode one.

Oh man...that sounds awesome!!! I can just see Tom having MORE fun with this one, that with the Fiat Panda vs Land Rover.

The Suburu segment did not air in episode one so presumably it will be in this episode instead.

im actually quite excited to see the 5k wax.. who the hell would pay more than 50 dollars for wax.. i mean Souveran is pretty much.. perfect.. as a nuba.. and Menzerna's Jacket is a kick ass sealant.. bout 50.. so..

5000 dollars better make this car.. turn the entire worlds head when sun reflects off of it.

the race sounds good too.

Thats what I was thinking, it was in on episode 6x03 of the series when he was restoring/destroying the rollsroyce. However, he said that wax was so pure you could eat.. that would also mean it has horrible durability..

i dont think clarkson cares for his cars.. he just loves to drive them.. hes always spouting on about "take it to professionals, they do it better" and hes probably right for his supercars.. but for regular mechanics.. its not.. its sad when he was interviewing a guest.. he said he would just let bird poop soak and sit on his ford gt... so sad.. acid etch.
