Thankfully, Cluj-Napoca is pretty car-friendly. But yeah... why did James take the 500 to Budapest? London is congested enough to test the car.

It will be great episode! Can't wait to see Fiat 500 in Budapest, it's great city!

BTW, You guys from Romania probably have never been to Warsaw.
I bet it's the most congested city in Europe images/smilies/mad.gif

Britcar!

Where Top Gear take on EVO magazine in the battle of the car journalists pretending to be racing drivers...

Can't wait. Wonder if TG will mention the EVO guys, or even if we'll see the EVO car onscreen (A red 350Z).

Change of scenery, I suppose. Plus, Budapest still has it's old world "charm", like Prague and Vienna, because they were not bombed flat in WWII.

Actually I think there may be two more episodes after that one - TV listings suggest it anyway.

Would the new 500 be the new car for Captain Slow (instead of the Panda)?

I am not sure what is happening 16/12 is snooker so no TG, no TG on 23/12 either, well there is but it is flagged as a repeat, I hope that is wrong. 25/12 has Hammond meeting Evel Kineval at 8pm but no sign of TG.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines - this is going to be a big one.

Remember the biofuel crop we planted last series? Well, it's harvest time down on Top Gear farm and we'll be making the most our environmentally friendly jungle juice as we enter the Britcar 24-hour endurance race at Silverstone.

James travels to Budapest for an audience with this season's must-have motoring accessory: the Fiat 500. Meanwhile, Jeremy will be driving a big, shouty 600-horsepower road-racer from relative supercar newcomer Ascari.

And our star in a reasonably priced car is establishment-baiting actor Keith Allen. Best warm up our Swear-o-matic bleep machine then.
