Episode 3

Episode Description

Clarkson and Hammond see if there is a good second-hand bargain for the same price as a Nissan Pixo – Clarkson believes it might be a nine-year-old Mercedes-Benz CL600 he bought, while Hammond seeks to prove the seventeen-year-old BMW 850Ci he purchased is the one. Elsewhere, May ventures to Nevada to test out the sustainability of the Range Rover Evoque before chauffeuring a "megastar" across Las Vegas, the McLaren MP4-12C is put through its paces by Clarkson on the track against its main rival, the Ferrari 458 Italia, and Formula 1 world champion, Sebastian Vettel, sees if he's got what it takes to set a fast time in the old Suzuki Liana.

Episode Introduction

"Tonight, I talk to two old ladies. Richard makes a phone call. And James sniffs his own armpit."

Stig Introduction

"Some say that he refuses to acknowledge the existence of Nottinghamshire. And that he recently received a very strong e-mail from his fiancee's mother saying it's bad manners to sit at the dinner table in a helmet. All we know is he's called the Stig!"
