On luxury Top Gear, a car fit for a Queen, a German sledgehammer in a velvet bag and we found the fastest politician.

Running with the luxury theme, we looked at the new Rolls Royce Phantom. It's huge, and Jeremy reckoned it's the best car on sale. We also found a real piece of British luxury for a bargain price. It's so good even the Queen has one, and she drives it. It's the classic Rover P5.

Recently, the turnout to local elections has been dismal. So we thought we'd decide the next set of elections with a MG ZR rally car and our track. We plonked a couple of politicians behind the wheel, and told them whoever won would have Top Gear's vote in the next election. Unfortunatly, it was the Liberal Democrat who won, so we had to renage on the deal a bit.

Right, the Hate Board. Jeremy added those people who sit too close to the wheel (mainly female) and those who sit far away (mainly young male) to the board. Horses also made another appearance, alongside car interiors.

The star in our reasonably priced car was celeb chef Jamie Oliver. His laptime was an impressive 1.50, but we also persuaded him to prepare a salad in the back of his trademark VW camper van, which was being driven by Stig.

Episode Quotes
 
Richard Hammond: Like that Rolls Royce, the Rover had luxury built into it. And it's as English as an oven glove with cats on it.
 
Jeremy Clarkson: [referring to the Rolls Royce] Everything about this car is vast. So, to test it, I took it to the home of that other great automotive colossus, John Prescott. I went to Hull.
