We thought it would be a jolly good idea if we tried to kill Richard
with a large amount of electricity. So we made sure the BBC insurance
policy hadn't lapsed, borrowed a Golf, and stuck him and his shirt in a
huge lightning generator. The look on his face when the first bolt hit
was priceless.
Then we decided Jeremy needed to take a look at what remains of the
British motor industry. The MG ZT - a Rover 75 with a Mustang engine
stuffed under the hood - was what we got. To our surprise, Jeremy didn't
hate it. He didn't like it much either.
Johnny Vaughan and the ever lovely Denise Van Outen came along to
take a spin in the reasonably priced car. Sadly, Johnny broke the Liana
before Denise got to have a go.
Now, the BMW 6 series had been accused by some (Jeremy) of being the
most abhorrent creation yet to be spewed from the guts of the company.
But is it any good on the beach? Jeremy, James and Richard went to the
edge of the island to race a Porsche, Jaguar, and the BMW. They got them
really dirty, but winner was clear: the Jag rules.
