Default TopGears' greatest ever episode is coming!!!!!

Wow, What can I say, You can't miss sundays episode, it is quite frankly the greatest episode I've ever seen. You'll need to turn it up loud to appreciate.

The Guest is great, Fast car test is a true classic versus something new, News is funny as ever,There's a well fimed, funny and interesting shoot on Communist cars, and then, the most epic Car test ever (and it's a Ford!)

Truely epic.

They said at the end of the last show Clarkson will be driving a Fiesta around Basingstoke.

Following in the footsteps of the legendary Nigel B?? .

Except I hope we don't see Clarkson stopping off at the blue oyster, having a kebab then sucking some bloke off, out by the bins.

Do you hand out Polos like the old St johns Ambulance spoof?

It is fun playing 'spot the recovery van that belongs to that fella from the car forums' though.

Only thought that as I had a call from our service desk about the images having the wrong copyright info on them and asked if I could remove it.

I haven't a grey hair on my head . However, in a few years time you can remove the colour word completely .

It clearly states in all the BBC TV times that it is Boris Johnson, so hardly secret .
