Taken from Top Gear website


Sunday nights haven't been the same since the footie started, but now all the blood, sweat, diving and headbutts are finished Top Gear is back to entertain you.

This week Jeremy tests some hot boring saloons, the Stig drives an F1 car (indoors), Hollywood actor Brian *** is let loose in the Lacetti and the boys go, er, on a caravanning holiday to Dorset. Here's some more info:


In the news...
Jeremy and Richard spend a long time arguing about American muscle cars - no prizes for guessing which corner Clarkson's in...

The lads also discuss the recent influx of folding metal drop-tops and how Volvo managed to get an endorsement from Jesus (well, kind of - the pope has just bought himself an XC90).

And finally, a new survey has revealed that people who have speed indicators in their cars receive less penalty points - couldn't have predicted that one, could you?


Rep Race...
Jeremy starts the show this week with three family saloons - but don't switch off, they've got over 700bhp between them. His mission is to find out which beefed-up boring saloon is best - Mondeo ST200, Mazda6 MPS or Vectra VXR.


We're all going on a miserable holiday...
Three men in boat may work but three in a caravan doesn't. TG is not famed for its love of caravans, but the boys decided if you can't beat them, join them - at least for a weekend.

Dorset was their destination, but with Captain Slow at the wheel things go from bad to worse and then really bad. James has an encounter with a bollard, Richard gets kidnapped and the TG dog chucks up in the van. Oh, and then Jeremy decides to cook...


Star in a reasonably priced car...
This week's star in a reasonably priced car is Hollywood actor Brian *** - think Troy, Bourne Identity and the original Hannibal Lector).


The Stig stays indoors...
The British International Motor Show starts next week at the ExCel exhibition centre (we'll be there - find out who else is in our preview), but before they started to jam it full of shiny cars it was a big empty space crying out for a TG experiment. Cue the Stig in a F1 car (and the Lacetti for practice)


Top Gear is back this Sunday at 8:00pm on BBC2 - the perfect excuse not to do the dishes

What would be the point? They're not sufficiently different from their predecessors to be interesting, are they?

How the hell did James May ever pass his driving test! he drives like my mum and parks like a bit+h !

People with caravans should only be allowed on the road between 3am and 5am! if found on the road b4 or after they should be shot on site (not a camp site )
