Rep Power: 0 | As long as Clarkson gets anwhere near that car, there will be AT LEAST a couple of machineguns mounted on top of it  I'm just wondering what a car they will be using... probalby nothing expensive, since it's pretty sure they are going to ruin it... |

Car: 2004 Opel Astra 2.2DTI Rep Power: 31 | i predict an epic win/epic fail episode (depending on which way you look at it...) whenever they make a car it's awesome. It'll probably have a million hp and machinegun turrets and armored shit and stuff. I also completely expect it to break down before they have a chance to film it in action |

Car: Chevrolet Silverado Rep Power: 17 | This could end very well. Or badly. Here's to hoping it goes as well as the Renault Espace Cabrio.

Rep Power: 18 | The streets of Britain will be safer once this is built Also shouldn't this be in the spoiler section?

Car: Never learnt to drive Rep Power: 22 | This sounds like great fun I imagine it will be like the aquatic cars challenge meets the van challenge - they'll each be given a budget and told to build a police car and then will each be challenged on a number of areas but I might be wrong. Oh and here's a quick cheesy graphic I created to illustrate my blog post on the subject.  |

Car: 2004 Honda Civic Coupe 2000 VFR800 Interceptor Rep Power: 98     | Didn't we suggest this as a show idea some time ago? I think we talked about testing police cars and someone may have mentioned that they could build one. Could this be a FinalGear influence?

Car: Land Rover Discovery, 1980 Yamaha XJ650 Rep Power: 82 | It'll be fun to see them upgrade a crappy car with a cop motor, cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. Maybe even a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. And maybe if this goes well enough (or bad enough) they could try their hand at making a fire engine someday.

Car: Jaguar X-Type 3.0 Rep Power: 17 | You know that picture actually makes me think that Clarkson and May could be police. When they went looking for the first car to have controls that we recognize they got along really well. I could see them pulling over people and arresting them on the car they bought. Hammond is to short for the force or at minimum to be taken seriously.

Car: 01' Mitsubishi Lancer Rep Power: 19 | I'm thinking big tank thing, maybe an older Defender? With the 6.0L W12 Toureg engine for high speed chases and with lots of mounted .50 cals, armour plated and with nudge bars capable of taking down trees without damage. I mean, how hard can it be?
