afaik james is flying the plane.

yeah james was definitely flying in the clip, just cudn't tell if hammond was with him

Guess the spoilers I was trying to keep up are a bit pointless now guys :rolleyes:

James is flying a private plane from Italy to London (so a bit backwards to normal) with Little Richard as a passanger, while Jezza drives the 987bhp Veyron. I reckon this is Jezza's pretty easy, though he'd always win somehow

watched it again today at 7pm, the song i want to know the title/artist of was when Hamster was testing the Ascari. the song started just as he said "a supercar car should above all, handle well" and ended when he said "thats coming from Britains no.1 supermarket opener".

gonna have a random search for Leftfield on HMV to see if it might be them.

Check out the Finalgear.com forums. They have a dedicated forum section for songs used episodes. If you can't find out there, you never will.

@ Gav, THANKS A LOT!!!

I registered there and asked them, and got an answer.

Cheers!

and May said 'bollox' in the race with the mountain bike dude, normally he only says "oh cock" (he said that as well when his car broke and they linked back to the studio).

Normally Jeremy, as he's usually way over ambitious, and his money buys him rust. He still finds a way of winning, even when he, well, doesn't.

That engine popping was a classic moment :D

That mountain bike dude was awesome. That's a "woah" moment.

Yep, the engine blowing was brilliant. The parking was also pretty funny.

it's on beeb 2 now if anyone didn't see it...

oh yeah forgot to mention about Ellen McArthur getting the fastest time. just seen her on the repeat.

also just watched a repeat from a while back on UKTV People (Channel 566) and it was the one with Stig driving the DBR9. awesome car!

and the race from London to Oslo with Jezza in the SLR vs the other 2 guys on the boat.

Yeah.. WTF's with that.

A woman cannot have the fastest time.

That was a fix. No way that was the fastest time. BBC suck up to her constantly, it wouldnt surprise me if this was another.
