Default [08x05] June 4th, 2006

Motoring magazine presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. With World Cup fever under way, there's an epic contest as the Toyota Aygos are pitted against the very toughest of opponents - a team of VW Foxes, built in Brazil. Jeremy finds out whether the suspension on the new Citroen C6 is all it's cracked up to be, and the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car is Oscar-winning screenwriter and actor, Julian Fellowes.

Julian Fellowes will probably be unknown to most of you. Recently he has been in Monarch of the Glen which I think is on BBC World. He is very posh but I find him quite funny. I think he will contrast well with Clarkson.
And yes the episode is definantly on. The first posting is from the Radio Times website.

I am really interested what they will say about C6... Can't wait...

And I hope James May will review some old classic supercar (since they will not review anything new).

So many questions, young Skywalker. To be patient you must learn.

Answers you will find in time.

The Volkswagen Fox will be one full car review and I think it is done by James May. The C6 will be another full car review. There must be other content because neither of these are really challenges or things that'll take a while. I think it should only be a 5 week break now. The final is 5 weeks from next Sunday so they don't need another week off. Is there definantly only three episodes after the break or will there be 4. They seem to have a lot of content to cram into three shows
