Default The cross-continent race in series 7! (spoiler!)

an interview in todays sun newspaper with clarkson gives a bit of info about the now famous cross continent race the next series.

jeremy won't be donning his black suit for the national television awards bash, he will be taking part in a bet with top gear team mates richard hammond and james may that he can drive back from Turin in Italy to London faster than they can fly. Jeremy will be behind the wheel of a £600,000 Bugatti. 'we're going to have a race to see who can get to Gordan Ramseys restaurant in Chelsea first'.

A Veyron? Why does it have to be a modern Bugatti (with 7 gears! 7 bloody gears)?? images/smilies/sad.gif

I'd love it to be a 35, 51 (it'd take ages and he'd get flies in his teeth) or a 57, now that would be worth watching images/smilies/w00t.gif

There's no way he'll lose in the Veyron. No way. We know Jezza doesn't always stick to the limits, and he will have to go through France...

The Veyron though.... w00t!!!!!!! images/smilies/w00t.gif

Anyways, this will be a pretty sweet race! He'll have to go across Switzerland though, that'll be a killer on any lead he'll have up to that point..

Actually the thing that dissapoints me about this, is that they probably won't have the Veyron on the test track images/smilies/sad.gif None of the other cars that were featured in the races were put on the track. (Except for the SLR and that was done when Jeremy tested it at the track)
