Top Gear pounced into action with a Jaguar-themed show. An MP tried out our reasonably priced Liana and everyone drove a Jaguar, or two.
Tory MP Boris Johnson - a man perhaps more famous for his appearances on topical TV quiz show Have I Got News For You than his political work, drove our reasonably priced Liana. His laptime was an unremarkable 1.56, although we're sure he'll spin that to be a good thing. Something about road safety probably.
Jeremy tested the new XJ. The looks haven't changed much, but it's all new underneath - and much better for it. So much better, in fact, that Jeremy kept driving until he ran out of road.
Finally, another Jaguar. We managed to get our hands on a one-off special called the XKR-R. It's a tuned XK with racing suspension, seats, a roll bar and even a stash spot for your helmet. It's a cracking motor that really works, thanks to completely redesigned rear suspension and a limited-slip differential that's more than helpful if you want to step the back end out. Oh, and it does 58mph in first gear.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Jeremy Clarkson: [referring to the Jaguar XJ] This is what we want. A car that soothes away the monotony of the motorway and then sticks its hand down the front of your trousers when the road gets curly.....which it has done.
| Jeremy Clarkson: William Hague once said to me that I was the sort of person who thought the Lake District got in the way of the M6. It does. We're having to go around all these corners just because of these silly lumps. It is pretty though.
| Jeremy Clarkson: [referring to the Ferrari F360 Stradale] I'm sorry, I'm sorry everyone, have you driven this car?
Richard Hammond: I have actually, yes.
Jeremy Clarkson: And what happened when you drove the car?
Richard Hammond: I crashed it, technically.
| Jeremy Clarkson: This is Radio 1. Now normally that's like having a rusty screwdriver, shoved into the side of your head. But I don't know, today it's fine. You take this chap: he wants to 'bitch-slap his ho'. Why not? Good luck to you fella.
