for anyone currently missing it...
its on RIGHT NOW!
edit: actually, this episode reminds me of my working time around European countries in the mid-80's when I used to hire BM's all the time and do 200+kmh everywhere I went... there was no such speed as sub-200kmh (125mph) in those days... then the 90's came and police decided to enforce such limits and suddenly I found it took longer to go everywhere across Europe... this coincidentally impacted my love life as we spent more time in the car and less time in the bedroom... but thats another story...

That was certainly not a genuine Serria Cosworth Clarkson was driving. That was either a modified lookalike with a replacement engine or the cars had an older shell put on its chassis. A Serria on the registration Clarkson was driving should have been the facelift model. The giveaway was the pre facelift front indicators (G reg Cosworth and Sapphires had clear. Not orange) and the rear lights were from a standard pre facelift (G reg Facelift Cosworth and standard Sapphires were tinted as standard).
I've had G and H registration sapphire Cosworths and also drove standard models as well.

Think a letter or email could be in order mate!
Dear Top Gear, It has come to my attention that...
Clarkson can then read it out in a funny geeky/nerdy voice!

I've watched quite a few episodes of Top Gear over the years but I have to say, they really out-did themselves with the latest episode.
-431km/h in a Bugatti Veyron Supersport
-Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz in the reasonably priced car (I saw Knight & Day on the weekend and loved it!)
-A very emotional tribute to Ayrton Senna
-A hot lap in the greatest ever F1 car, the McLaren MP4/4 by Lewis Hamilton
I don't mind saying I was quite affected by that show, especially the Ayrton Senna tribute and the appearance of the McLaren. I was 17 when that awesome piece of machinery took 15/16 races during 1988 and literally stomped all over the competition. Two of the greatest ever drivers in the most fearsome piece of automotive artwork. It was a great time to be an F1 fan.
I too can remember where I was when I heard the news about Senna's death. I was an Apprentice Mechanic for Honda NZ and I was picking up a customers car for servicing. I heard it on the radio, on the 9am news (F1 races start at Midnight NZ time). It was truly shocking.

I agree carkitter, I hadn't watched top gear in a long time because I think its too scripted but tonight's episode was excellent.

Last episode was amazing in every respect. The other episodes of season 15 were below par until now.
