We begin with Jeremy’s review of the Vauxhall Astra VXR, Ford Focus ST and Renault Megane Renault Sport Cup. The Stig did laps of each car, the Focus being the slowest at 1:29.6, the Astra VXR at 1:28.3, and the Megane in 1:27.7. Despite this, Jeremy chose the Astra VXR as the best overall car of the three.

In the news, they discuss the newest cars, such as the Alfa Romeo 4C, the next generation Ford Mustang would be sold in Great Britain, but the UK version would come with a 2.0 EcoBoost engine, and the importance of the handbrake turn in “male development”.

Next up, Jeremy tests the all new Kia Cee’d, putting it through a myriad of strange road tests. Including Matt LeBlanc doing a lap with both the old and new Cee’d, Bruce Willis (in character as John McClane) testing the horn of the Cee’d, Eric Clapton testing its auxiliary input jack, and Jeremy testing the Cee’d’s self parallel parking feature and luggage tray.

Tonight’s Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is Lewis Hamilton. Lewis opens up about his move from McLaren to Mercedes AMG and takes the old Suzuki Liana around the Test Track, setting the fastest F1 time, a 1:42.9.

Then, as punishment for losing the previous race, Richard is forced to review the Mastretta MXT in Mexico. Minding his words, he states that the MXT was an ambitious undertaking for the first-time manufacturer, but that it had its share of flaws.

Finally, Jeremy and James play car rugby using Kia Cee’ds and Kia Sportages at Twickenham Stadium and the Stig as a referee in a Vauxhall Astra Police car. Jeremy’s team wins.

Some say…

“Some say he contains 47% horse, and that to concentrate more on his work here he has resigned this week from his other job in Rome. All we know is he’s called the Stig!”

I’ve noticed that repairing credit activity must be conducted with techniques. If not, you may find yourself destroying your rank. In order to reach your goals in fixing your credit rating you have to confirm that from this time you pay your complete monthly fees promptly before their planned date. It is definitely significant since by definitely not accomplishing this, all other moves that you will decide to use to improve your credit ranking will not be efficient. Thanks for sharing your concepts.
