Jeremy drives a BMW 5 series diesel, this is something special for the program, they have never done an in depth review of a diesel. The segment finishes up with Jeremy in the diesel and The Stig in the gasoline powered V8, it's a race to the finish.
In the news segment, Richard has become the map guy. Jeremy tries a different way to destroy a map that can't be torn. A nice funny segment.
Richard goes back to Iceland for another strange report. He claims that since they couldn't come up with a good solid winner in the convertible race the week before, they sent him back to Iceland to find something cool. The off roading these crazy drivers do is incredible. The short opening montage could have been the report alone. But no, they go on to cars on water. Jeremy introduced the piece with something about James being the devil and Richard trying to be Jesus, walking on water.
The star in the reasonable car is Davina McCall from the British version of Big Brother, and the F1 reporter for the short lived MTV race team. She has some funny stories about her time at F1. The lap is in the wet.
James drives a Bentley in Dubai. In 2005 Bentley was owned by VW, and most of the underpinnings of the car are a VW Pantheon (never made it to the US). James ends up loving the car, and takes it to an amazing top speed on a closed road.
The previous week they set up a challenge for any F1 driver that wants to take on Damon Hill's time in the reasonably priced car. Well, Mark Webber showed up and drove the car around on a very wet track. There are some good shots of the Williams F1 car. The result is surprising.
