The one with The Big Boffin Burn-Out

Series 3, Episode 7 (2003)

The world’s cleverest men do battle on our track, Jeremy bangs his head on an MG and Rory Bremner admits a love for Alfas. Richard, meanwhile, is lost in South Africa with a McMerc.

South Africa is the setting as Richard gets his hands on the long-awaited Mercedes supercar and gets so carried away he starts believing he owns it.
