A more detailed synopsis.

Jeremy blasts around the track in the new Corvette Z06 and despite getting from 0-175mph in one gear, and managing to keep up with a line of flames, he's none too impressed. Then, undeterred from last week's trip into the countryside, the Stig (some say...) takes the 'vette for a spin while practising his language skills.

The news this week was interrupted on more than one occasion, due to Jeremy being distracted by a nice lady standing behind him. In between this, however, they did manage to natter about a tank limo, a stolen Mercedes SLR McLaren and the new Dodge Caliber.

Richard drives a stupidly fast Tom Cat rally car in Iceland and narrowly avoids messing his pants when he hits a rock during a race with a jet-propelled kayak.

Elsewhere, Jeremy, Richard and James all go on a jolly to Brighton in a Cadillac - only it turns out not to be quite so jolly when they have to spend three hours presenting the live drivetime show on Southern Counties Radio... and end up making a hilarious hash of it.

They've tested it on ice, but now it's time to take Jaguar's new XK on a real drive and put the Great Brit through its paces on the Yorkshire Dales. The Jag is pitted against two Germans - BMW's 650i and the Mercedes SL 350.

This week's star in the Reasonably Priced Car happens to be one Gordon Ramsay. Expect the odd swear word or two.
