Default TG filming in London

Some kind of challenge with Jeremy's Merc it would appear.
They were spotted with a Rolls Royce on the South Bank and in St James's too.

No. Look behind him, there is an old Rolls Royce. They must be doing some kind of classic luxury car review.

Could that be James' Rolls Royce, I know he got a new Rolls but I don't know what model or colour, anyone know?

And it's not gone that well judging by James syphoning petrol to fill up the Merc. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

They were spotted (no photos though) down near the Millennium Wheel too.

I thought James said he owned a Corniche at some point. That's a Corchine fixed head coupe.

A new cheap car challenge perhaps? I dont know why else they would bring up these old cars. They'll just act as though they bought them recently.

Doesnt mean he cant say he bought it for a challenge on the show, i dont know why else they would be reviewing them. It probably gets them out of a bunch of legalities that come from buying outside cars as well.

This is the article where James mentions that he bought an old Rolls. http://www.topgear.com/content/featu...ries/10/1.html

I bet they are reviewing old school luxury cars. I love it when they review classic cars.

^ Yeah that what it properly is, properly something like "Can you drive a big old car in London without it overheating" something like that

As for MattD1zzl3 - I think your a bit off, there properly just reviewing them, not a cheap car challenge seeing as...erh, well there not cheap, they already own them, and its only the two of them....
