The Olympic Long Jump Challenge

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Richard takes a Peugeot 407 onto the racetrack. At an antiques fair, James enlists the help of Bargain Hunt presenter Tim Woonacott to find out what is the biggest thing you can fit in the back of a Volvo V50 Estate. Jeremy tries out BMW’s latest lifestyle off-roader, the X3, and gets very wet. On the Top Gear track, Richard discovers that the new Corvette C6 breaks with tradition and goes round corners. The Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is Irish comedian and chat show host, Patrick Kielty.

Our Take

Very good — not the series’ peak, but an hour that reminds you why Top Gear works.
