Default Cossie week on top gear this Sunday

Its probably a repost but none the less

The boys head to Germany with their new toys.
It's the second episode for series 15 of Top Gear and Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are up to their usual tricks.
This week they attempt to find a trio of cars which are equally at home screeching around the race track as they are at transporting the family about town, all for a budget of £5000.
Their finds result in a BMW M3, a Mercedes 190E and a Ford Sierra Cosworth being put through their paces in Europe's home of speed, Germany.
Meanwhile Alistair Campbell is the star in the all new Reasonably Priced Car race. How will the British journo cope with those corners?
Finally, James makes a rare visit to the Top Gear track to test a pair of Porsches - the 911 Sport Classic and Boxster Spyder.

Who wants to bet the Sierra get's slated as being unreliable and breaks down a lot? Seems to always be negative with these programmes

Cossie is bound to be Clarkson as he's always been a fan. May will be the Merc and the M3 with Hamster, I'd almost bet on it.

Hope they don't trash them as they so often do.

Clarkson LOVED his Escort Cossie. He will rip into the image, but I would think he will be trumpeting about the turbo

Cossie looks like its got the standard exhaust! So may never have been touched which probably means weak standard actuator and low boost. Hope he dont wreck it though as it looks nice and original.
