Top Gear
É o último desta temporada.
Van man...
Some 320,000 vans are sold in the UK each year, making them more popular than the Ford Focus. So the boys decide to find out what's all the fuss about. James opts for a Renault Master, Jeremy chooses a VW Transporter, and Richard takes a Transit. But what to do with them? Well, vans are for transporting stuff, so the lads become roadies for the day for one of the world's biggest bands, The Who.
When Jeremy met Jenson...
Yes, this week sees the Top Gear studio graced with let another Formula One driver, Jenson Button. In the name of fairness, the old Liana is dusted off and wheeled onto the track, so Jenson can be pitted against his fellow F1 drivers. Jeremy then offers him some advice on how to make F1 more interesting (it involves mounting guns on the front of the cars) before Button is whisked off to the British motor show in his helicopter. Oh, the life of an F1 driver...
In the news this week...
Er, there isn't any news because everyone's on holiday, so instead the boys take a look at the Rolls-Royce 101EX. This Roller is a bit special because it has lights in its roof and a Spirit of Ecstasy on the front that glows. Nice. But Jeremy has his own opinions...
A Noble cause
First there was the M10, then the M2, and now Noble has unleashed its latest beauty, the M15. With 450bhp, a 0-60mph time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 196mph, the Noble M15 is certainly no slouch, and it leaves Hammond grinning from ear to ear after he takes it on the track. Then it's handed over to the Stig, but we'll never know if he was smiling...
And now for some more vans...
Having not learnt enough about vans from their roadie trip, the lads want to test some proper vans, well-used ones with old food ground into the seats. So they are set a number of challenges including a drag race, driving really close behind the car in front, van maintenance and the finale, a cops and robbers race.
