On luxury Top Gear, a car fit for a Queen, a German sledgehammer in a
velvet bag and we found the fastest politician.
Running with the luxury theme, we looked at the new Rolls Royce
Phantom. It's huge, and Jeremy reckoned it's the best car on sale. We
also found a real piece of British luxury for a bargain price. It's so
good even the Queen has one, and she drives it. It's the classic Rover
P5.
Recently, the turnout to local elections has been dismal. So we
thought we'd decide the next set of elections with a MG ZR rally car and
our track. We plonked a couple of politicians behind the wheel, and
told them whoever won would have Top Gear's vote in the next election.
Unfortunatly, it was the Liberal Democrat who won, so we had to renage
on the deal a bit.
Right, the Hate Board. Jeremy added those people who sit too close to
the wheel (mainly female) and those who sit far away (mainly young
male) to the board. Horses also made another appearance, alongside car
interiors.
The star in our reasonably priced car was celeb chef Jamie Oliver.
His laptime was an impressive 1.50, but we also persuaded him to prepare
a salad in the back of his trademark VW camper van, which was being
driven by Stig.
