On this week's Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May take their favourite supercars on a continental road trip - the Ford GT, Ferrari F430 and Pagani Zonda; car cultures clash when the Austin Healey Sprite takes on a Peugeot 306 and the Focus ST takes to the track.

Looking forward to what JC will have to admit about his GT, after many hrs. of driving. I have noticed, it is most interesting listening to what JC decides about a car when he drives these loooong endurance trips!! They are my fav segment on the show ....

^^ It will also have the news, the guest and the hot hatches, so I guess, 25 min. will have to suffice for a complete trash over the european continent... Pretty tight schedule, IMO...

I am especially interested in this episode simply because I want to hear what Jezza says about his GT. Except for a brief mention in his column that it was back (due to mail from fans), he hasn't really said anything about how he's getting on with it. It would seem that he's driving his SLK55 AMG more often.
