Elsewhere, Jayson Taylor demonstrates how to run a car on vegetable oil, and Harry Enfield becomes the first Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Jeremy Clarkson joins a gathering of Ford RS enthusiasts before taking the new Focus RS to a suitably deserted stretch of road. He also tests a remarkably quick supercar built in a shed in Leicestershire — the Noble M12 GTO. Meanwhile, Richard Hammond fulfils a childhood ambition by driving a Ford Escort RS1800 and discovers how many motorcycles a double-decker bus can jump before things become expensive. Jay Kay is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Jeremy Clarkson reviews the new Mini Cooper and Toyota Yaris Verso, while the Westfield XTR2 takes on the Pagani Zonda in a track battle. Elsewhere, some spirited grannies perform doughnuts, and actor Ross Kemp laps the test track as the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Jeremy Clarkson heads to the Isle of Man with Formula One World Champion Damon Hill to settle an important question: Aston Martin Vanquish or Ferrari 575M?

Steve Coogan is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Jeremy Clarkson takes the unconventional Renault Vel Satis to what he considers its natural habitat — Swindon — before unleashing his own car on the test track and introducing the now-legendary Cool Wall. Richard Hammond gets behind the wheel of the new BMW Z4, while Jason Dawe assesses a used Volkswagen Golf GTI and oversees the return of the grannies, this time to see whether they can master the art of the handbrake turn. Tara Palmer-Tomkinson is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Jeremy Clarkson reviews the Renault Vel Satis, BMW Z4, Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG and Honda NSX Type R, while Richard Hammond takes the new BMW Z4 Roadster for a spin.

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Jeremy Clarkson compares yet another fast Mercedes with yet another fast Audi — the Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG and Audi RS6 — before taking the new Maserati Coupé for a spin.

Sir Michael Gambon is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Jeremy Clarkson sets out to find the ultimate school-run machine by pitting a people carrier, a luxury SUV and a full-blown off-roader against one another, before taking the all-new Volkswagen Golf for a spin. Richard Hammond investigates the Subaru Forester, while the team discovers what a Jaguar XJ-S is really worth once all the unnecessary bits are removed. Elsewhere, The Stig attempts the entirely sensible task of racing a Radical SR3 against an aerobatic aircraft. And in the reasonably priced car, Gordon Ramsay tries not to swear.

Jeremy Clarkson heads into the countryside to discover which off-roader is best when the tarmac runs out, and also gives the Lotus Esprit V8 a thorough workout.
