- Top_Gear_(series_7) shortsummary "Biathlon: Clarkson raced a Volvo XC90 against May in an Audi Q7, cross-country, with 2 shooting rounds mid-course while every missed target gives 5 penalty seconds . May used a standard Biathlon .22 rifle, while Clarkson opted for a H&K MP5 machine pistol. Despite the increased firepower, Clarkson missed every target and felled a tree. May missed only 2 targets in the final shooting round. However, near the end, he crashed into a tree and had to dig himself out. Despite this, May re-overtook Clarkson at the end and won the race. Cold Weather Endurance: Hammond was subjected to Arctic temperatures in a Citroën C1, in a bid to see who will crack first: man or machine? After being subjected to a temperature of about minus-40 Celsius, Hammond narrowly beat the car, concluding that 'if you're going to drive to the North Pole, buy a Hammond'. Speed Skating: Clarkson raced a Jaguar XK against a human skater on the ice course of Vikingskipet Olympic Arena. Clarkson was terrible at this event as his Jag had no grip whatsoever, being lapped twice by Ervik. Off-Road Slalom: May and Clarkson raced a four-wheel drive Land Rover Discovery and a two-wheel drive Jaguar XK against the clock, on just about five inches of frozen lake. May declared himself the winner as he was the fastest with 2:03.28, but was disputed by Clarkson, who claimed his run to have been more graceful and interesting. Bobsleigh: In a repeated segment from Series 5 Episode 8, Hammond and a bobsleigh team race against May and a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution rally car piloted by Norwegian Henning Solberg, along near-identical courses. Hammond won with 59.68 in the end, May's time was 1:02.24 Ice Hockey: Ten Suzuki Swifts played 5-a-side hockey, in teams captained by Hammond and May, and refereed by Clarkson. At one point, Hammond's team were winning 2-0, but a biased Clarkson intervened and successfully helped May to 2-2. In the end Hammond crashed into May's car and was sent to penalty box, so May could score 2 more goals. The result was 5-4 to Hammond's team. Ski Jump: The trio attempt to find out if a rocket-powered Mini could jump further than a skier from a downhill slope. The challenge was then concluded by a ski jump on a snowmobile driven by The Stig.".

He then heads out to the track to interview David Walliams]] and The Stig. Later on, Carr tours the car park, commenting on the cars held therein, and interviewing James May, who relates a tale of being "the other guy". Finally, Carr interviews the studio audience, which annoys The Stig.

- Top_Gear_(series_7) shortsummary "Main review: Hammond reviews the Marcos TSO GT2. Hammond likens it to the much-loved Monaro in terms of its way of marrying muscular American power to easily controllable handling, and also the TVR Sagaris - though when pushed, he admitted this was because it broke down several times. The Stig manages to take it to a time of 1:28.2. During the studio segment of the review, Clarkson "discovers" a tooth-whitening kit in the Marcos, to which Hammond's reply was: "IT'S A PLANT!!!". News: The group reviews stupid automotive accessories such as a tie with Skoda written on it, a cheap aftermarket, battery powered parking sensor and a alarm that goes off to remind you not to put the wrong type of fuel in your car, which goes off any time the alarm's sensor detects light. Star in a reasonably priced car: F1 and IndyCar champion Nigel Mansell takes the lead on the F1 lap board with a 1:44.6. Mansell's time proves a theory from The Stig that the Liana could garner a 1:44 lap time. Challenge: The Stig compared the drivetrains of RR layout vs. 4WD on the Porsche 997 on an indoor exhibition rally track of the World Rally Championship at Millennium Stadium to settle a debate by Porsche fans. The Carrera 4 was half a second faster, but according to James May the Stig said the 2WD Carrera was nicer to drive. Main Race: Hammond and May once again attempted to beat Clarkson in a race across Europe using transport other than a car. This time, as May had almost earned himself a pilot's licence, their chosen mode of transport was a Cessna 182 , hired from West London Aero Club. After an initial shaky start because of May's insistence on lengthy pre-flight checks and a circuitous route towards Nice, France to avoid mountains exceeding the plane's flight ceiling, they made good time on Jeremy, but were forced to make an early landing and travel the remainder of the journey by Eurostar as May was not licensed to fly after nightfall. Once again, Clarkson won, aided by his 1001 PS Bugatti Veyron supercar, reaching the top of the Natwest Tower before the other two. At the top of the tower he commented that his victory was hollow because he would have to live the rest of his life knowing he would never own the Veyron or experience its power again, but he soon forgot about it when he and Hammond started laughing at James's disgruntlement.".
- Top_Gear_(series_7) shortsummary "Main review: Clarkson reviews the Ford Focus ST , bringing a modern touch to British motoring. With as much power as the hot Renault Megane from last series, Jeremy lavishes the car with praise. The Stig takes the car to a 1:34.9 time, on a slippery and foggy track. If under normal conditions, it would have been the fastest hatchback yet tested. News: Top Gear announces that they won an International Emmy for the Non-Scripted Entertainment category. Clarkson explains that he was unable to go to New York to receive the award since he was too busy writing the script for that episode. Star in a reasonably priced car: British transport minister Stephen Ladyman injures the Liana when he loses control of the car and goes backward into a tyre wall. Despite this setback, Ladyman posts a time of 1:48.8. Ladyman reveals that he is a petrolhead and owns an Alfa Romeo despite his staunch law-and-order stance on speed cameras. The Cool Wall: Clarkson and Hammond argue about the positioning of the cars presented for the Cool Wall for the whole segment, starting with the positioning of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage in the fridge, and the Vauxhall Astra VXR and Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG in the "Cool" region . In the end Clarkson and Hammond literally fight over the placement of the BMW M6, the fight going into the crowd. Hammond eats the card, which May cites shortly after - "Hamsters eat cardboard!". Road Trip: All three presenters each took a favourite supercar - a Pagani Zonda, a Ford GT, and a Ferrari F430 - on a trans-France road trip to the recently completed Millau Viaduct, a similarly fantastic example of engineering skill as explained by Clarkson. Notable events included their creation of a serious traffic jam in the backstreets of Paris attempting to leave a car park; the problem was that, owing to the angle of the slope onto the road combined with the low bodies of the cars, the fronts were scraping the ground and they could only escape after improvising a shallower ramp and removing front spoilers. Also, May for once defied his "Captain Slow" nickname, driving the Ferrari F430 faster than Hammond in the Pagani Zonda and Clarkson in the Ford GT on a twisting mountain road, describing the car as "Ballerina's point shoe" compared to the others' construction-site boots. Throughout the trip, Clarkson and May continuously talked about Hammond's teeth being whitened , to the point when Hammond shouts "I HAVE NOT HAD MY TEETH DONE!" when the trio stopped at a resting area in the French mountains, with Hammond's voice being echoed.".
- Top_Gear_(series_7) shortsummary "Main review: Volkswagen Golf R32 and the BMW 130i. After originally conceding that the BMW was more fun and seemed faster on a dry track, Clarkson was amazed to see that the R32 trounced the 130i with a lap time of 1:30.4 over the 130i's 1:31.9. But it fell in line with his other heavy criticisms of the lack of practicality and the price of the BMW. Challenge: Hammond and May argue about the state of modern-day driving, which sparked a time trial showdown at Prescott Hill Climb Course, pitting an Austin-Healey Sprite representing a mostly middle-aged classic car owners club, versus a modified Peugeot 306 backed by a more youthful group. The Stig takes the two around, with the Sprite, on a serious race-focussed diet, defeating the showy and stereo-laden 306 by one second. Review and Challenge: Hammond tests the Mazda MX-5, which involves racing the car against a greyhound at a dog-racing dirt track. The dog won. Star in a reasonably priced car: Little Britain star David Walliams and comedian Jimmy Carr appear with Walliams' lap time of 1:50.7 slower than Carr's. Walliams also tells of his love of Aston Martin. 2005 Top Gear Awards: :*Biggest Surprise - Audi RS4 :*Ugliest Car - BMW 3 Series :*Best Car - Bugatti Veyron :*Best Engine Noise - Aston Martin V8 Vantage :*The most ill-advised piece of facial hair in motorsport - Fernando Alonso :*Gas Guzzler - Ford GT :*Best German - Sabine Schmitz :*Best Driver - Ellen MacArthur :*The Golden Cock - James May :*Coolest Car - Aston Martin V8 Vantage , Porsche 997 Challenge: In the final segment, Clarkson travelled to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California to compare racing a lap in real life versus the video game Gran Turismo 4. Clarkson's time of 1:41.148 for the video game was substantially faster than the 1:57 time that he was able to do on the real course due to the course omitting a few details of the track and Clarkson's inability to replicate digital bravery in real life. This section also featured a farewell to the NSX.".

- Top_Gear_(series_7) shortsummary "Two fast times highlight this episode of Top Gear. Main review: Hammond reviews the heavily revised Pagani Zonda F, with a carbon fibre Body, magnesium wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes, and an improved structure. The improvements to the car leave him genuinely speechless, and help it garner the fastest power lap time of 1:18.4 by The Stig. News: The presenters mourn the death of World Rally champion Richard Burns, who died at the age of 34 two weeks before. He had made two earlier Top Gear appearances, once touting rallying as more technologically influential and interesting than Formula One, and on another occasion test-driving the Peugeot RC on the Top Gear track. Star in a reasonably priced car: Ellen MacArthur tells what its like sleeping on her around the world sailing trip, and pulls the fastest lap on the power board with a lap of 1:46.7. Challenge: James May drives in a competition to race the new Renault Clio through Lisbon, Portugal against the downhill mountain biker Gee Atherton. Challenge: Each presenter is told to buy a used Italian supercar for £10,000 and drive from Bristol to a strip club in Slough, with challenges along the way, including a lap around Castle Combe raceway trying to beat the Stig's 1:35 laptime in a diesel Vauxhall Astra, the measurement of lost horsepower from their worn engines, an insurance estimate, a DIY tune-up against the clock involving an oil change and replacing spark plugs, and trying to park in a tight space in Marlborough town square. Clarkson buys a misbadged Maserati Merak with terrible brakes, thinking it is an SS model until the horsepower test , May buys a broken-down Lamborghini Urraco, and Hammond buys a Ferrari 308GT4 with severe rust problems. After the parking challenge, the Merak's engine blew up in dramatic fashion whilst on the road, showering the Urraco with pieces of the engine, and forcing Clarkson to drive into a hedge to stop the car due to the engine failure also destroying the brakes. The 308GT4 appeared to run out of fuel 10 miles from Slough, although Hammond later revealed all the engine's electrics had failed at once. Finally, after causing problems all day by running out of electricity, the Urraco failed once again, causing a traffic jam on the outskirts of Slough. In the studio, the presenters admitted that while the Merak was undoubtedly the worst car of the three, neither of the other two could be called a winner. Clarkson summed up their experience by saying "Yes, you can buy a second-hand supercar for less than £10,000, but for the love of God don't do it!"".
