    Top Gear is the best car show ever. Jeremy, captain slow & Hammond has amazing chemistry!

    Can't believe the Mexico-stuff. If you get upset by stereotype-joke, how about not reinforcing those stereotypes and just generally making yourself and your country look like total fools by getting all upset? Sheesh.

    Looking forward to tonights ep.

    Thought that was a great episode. So would have the Rolls over the Merc, and would so Have the Ford over the Volvo and Subaru.

    Love the Focus/Impreza/C30 mashup. I'll never get tired of hearing that glorious 5 pot.

    Some of the Albania film was good, some less good. Tbh I wish they'd stop a bit more of the staged stuff at the end of the otherwise reasonably interesting pieces.

    I missed the first few minutes of the Albanian film, what happened to the Bentley - did they not have one available for the test or something? I loved the police chase though, that was EPIC! I wonder how they organised it?

    Otherwise, really enjoyed tonight's episode - loved the hot-hatch head to head, especially that Polestar C30. :)

    Bentley decided they didn't want the new Mulsanne going to Albania it would seem. How'd they organise the police chase? Bribes at worst, asking at best. :p

    That Polestar is a seriously sexy beast, even more so than the Focus RS. Shame you couldn't buy one. Have a gander at the PH article. :D

    Good point the Focus ST is just the T5 engine.

    I bet that Volvo weighs quite a bit less than the other 2 too.

    Another great show, I loved the hot hatch shootout but I would have the focus over the volvo (mostly down to the horrible colour the volvo was painted). I enjoyed the Albania trip but I would have taken the Rolls over the S65.

    RIP James May, the best way to die is from escaping the Albanian rozzers.

    Worst part of the show?

    The fact Jonathon Ross had to appear. Him being on there served to make me dislike the guy even more.

    Also, I want that Focus in green, orange or electric blue pleesh?
