Some snaps from the week’s filming

Only two more shows to go in the current series, TopGear.commers, but don't feel too down. This week's Top Gear features some frankly astonishing cars, which made for a memorable day down at Dunsfold.

From fire-and-oil-spitting, 46 litre, airplane-engined monsters to modern, lithe trackday superstars, the track (and Stig) were in heavy use.

Including, of course, an economic Kia C-Apostophe-D tootling around, this week piloted by Blur bassist and cheese fan Alex James.

See you as usual on Sunday, 8pm, BBC Two and BBC HD. But for now, have a look at what you can expect...
