Great episode; The roadwork thin was actually very funny. I almost fell off the chair laughing while Jeremy tried to speed up the workers by playing those famous speeches by Margareth Thatcher. The bit about the crash was also great, giving us a tidy explaination of what actually happened. The bit with Jamie Oliver wasn't that good, but made me laugh a bit.
The highlight was the XKR - Vantage bit. I somehow knew that Jeremy would like it, and still think that it needs more power. But from all of the other rewiews I've read it's just brilliant. It's also kind of interesting that he brings the Vantage in to the equation as well, allthoug it is a different car, being much more focused as a sports car and a bit more expensive. I have seen both the Vantage and the new XKR live, and they both do look astonishingly good allthough the latter lesser than the former. The Vantage looks more compact and punchy while the XKR looks more long-legged. As for the interior of the XKR, I think it looks perfectly ok, a bit dull perhaps next to the Aston Martin, but the quality is impecccable, no cheap and nasty plastics, just leather, aluminium (optionally wood) and carpets. And I know as I have been in one (picture to proove can be provided)
And to the nay-sayers, stating that Jeremy's enthusiasm for these two cars is just unfounded bias in favour of british cars; Look up a review of any of these two cars anywhere else, and chances are they will say they are brilliant. Simply because the are. Like stated earlyer, I have yet to read a serious negative review on any of these cars...
