One of the funniest challenges, the trio's quest to find a decent British Leyland produced vehicle ended up - as always - being a comedy series of failures and disaster. The Rover SD1's constant door problems were a great source of laughter, notably the moment of Jeremy splitting his door into two. The suspension test and hill climb handbrake test provided James and Richard's own funniest moments of the episode. Aston Martin's DBS or the upgraded DB9 as it was deemed was a solid road test, didn't feel too long when the BL challenge was what you wanted to see most. Jennifer Saunders added some great scenes as the star in the reasonably priced car, all in all it was an episode you didn't want to end.
