Here are the highlights for Ep2:
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.

17 hours to go if you live in england... and probably 24 or so for me

Was a good episode I thought, the Jag bit set to yorkshire dales scenery was really good, I remember walking there on DofE was such a pain! I love the spitfire sound it makes! that rattle and gurgle sound.
The Z06 looked good aswell... but I hate the way he says its amazing and then basically says its crap!
Nice to see the stig finally drive the Liana.....
The tomcat was cool... how or earth did hammond hit that ice..... surely he could see it comming... theres loads of land around you know!
I actaully like the looks of that Caddy in the radio bit..... pity its so expensive... dont see whats so wrong with it having bits from saab and vauxhall, they do make good cars...

Doesn't matter as the Vette is just as good, for only a fraction of what the Ferrari cost. Don't forget that they also mentioned the 575M is being replaced by another overpriced Ferrari, which is MUCH worse looking than the Corvette.

Yes I enjoyed this week episode, but it wasnt as funny as last weeks, The Z06 was a very nice car, I love the sound, But im not a big fan of the Jag, infact I totally hate it. The stig in the Liana was closure too, I was wondering when he was going to do a lap.
