Rest of the episode was just as awesome, especially the fake Aussie accent and the trip down museum lane. I wonder if the old cars they drove were the actual pieces or just replicas (the Benz wagen was probably a replica)... those old pieces are incredibly rare to be handed over to a pair of middle-aged journalists.
I agree, I had no idea James Blunt actually had a sense of humor. Which is crushing because I fucking hate his music so much that I want to stab him in the face.

No idea he was in the Army, too. How does that explain "You're Beautiful"?!

I'm no fan of Blunt's music, but he was indeed a good guest. Nice to see someone famous who used to wear DPMs as well.

I wonder what his Scimitar would do around the Top Gear track? They're not known for being slow vehicles.

Actually, I wonder what my tank would do around the track? 1,500hp and the massive amount of grip from the tracks would be an interesting test. Maybe I can find the exact track measurements and re-create at a local airfield?

Allow me to help you.. "G..O..D... S...A..V...E...T...H..E..."... you can guess the rest. Marseillaise my arse.

I'm still no great fan of Hamilton. I've little doubt that one day he will be World Champion, and he'll deserve it, but I'm not convinced he's quite got the right attitude yet, though doubtless his last couple of races should have cured him of the worst of the problem. Still, I've little reason to think that his lap time wasn't genuine, and even if he did cut the corner, I don't think it would have cut quite that much time off.

8/10.

Around 8:30 into the episode, did anyone else notice that Jeremy was doing the pie calculation on an iPhone? At least that is what it looked like to me.

Just curious,

P.S. I think I also posted this on the [01x08] forum, because I had a brain fart. Sorry.
