They want the government to stop painting speed cameras yellow and paint them a less noticeable color so that they catch more speeders. Review: Jeremy looks at the new Mini and admits it handles well and is styled nicely. However, it is very big compared to the old one, and uses its space inefficiently. He then looks at the funky Toyota Yaris Verso, a much more practical car which he prefers. The major downfall of the Yaris is its styling – or lack thereof. Interview: Jeremy talks to influential designer Peter Horbury about automotive design, national characteristics, and form language. Peter's pick for "Best Looking Car of all Time" is the Porsche 928. Review: Hammond disagrees with Peter's pick and instead makes his case for the Citroën DS. Challenge: Richard presents five grannies attempting to do donuts in a Honda S2000. Rally car driver and stuntman Russ Swift was on hand to teach the grannies how to perform the doughnut. Star In A Reasonably Priced Car: Ross Kemp, who sets a time of 1:54 on a wet track. Because of this, they send The Stig out to set a wet lap time, which he does in 1:50. Jeremy thus deduces that the difference between a wet lap and a dry lap is roughly 4 seconds. Insider Dealing: Jason has found an appealing lease option for an Alfa Romeo 166. Review: As a further counterpoint to Richard and Peter's picks for the "Best Looking Car of all Time," Jeremy presents the Lamborghini Miura SV in the studio. He greatly admires the car's styling, but ultimately choses the Aston Martin DB7 , which he reviews via a short film. Interview: Back in the studio, Jeremy talks with the DB7's designer, Ian Callum. As a wrap-up to the interview, Jeremy invites Peter Horbury back for a sketch-off. Both designers draw their interpretations of a modern Jaguar E-type and the results are strikingly similar. Review: Richard drives the £20,000 Westfield XTR2. Despite having only a 1.3 liter engine which produces a mere 170 bhp, the Westfield weighs just 410 kilograms. This makes for an extremely potent power to weight ratio. The Stig takes it around the track in 1:22.6 . Rounded or not, it beats the Zonda's time from the first episode and tops the Power Lap board . This is the first episode to end with Clarkson declaring "And on that bombshell…", though it would not become a regular catchphrase until later series.. }
