The one with The ‘sensible’ Fiesta test
Series 12, Episode 6 (2008)
Some say one of the best episodes ever – Jeremy does a ‘sensible’ road test of the new Fiesta (including a chase through a shopping centre and a beach landing), while Richard tests a lightweight German on the track. Also features Communist cars and Boris Johnson.
