Jonathan Ross, which isnt overly interesting but things didn't go according to plan.

Can't stand the man. But if he gets injured....

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May visit Albania to test three luxurious vehicles - the Rolls-Royce Ghost, Bentley Mulsanne and Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG. Jeremy also drives three high-performance hatchbacks in the form of the limited-edition Ford Focus RS500, Prodrive-developed Cosworth Impreza STi CS400 and one-off Volvo C30 PPC. Jonathan Ross is the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car

I'm looking forward to the hot hatch bit

Prodrive had nothing to do with this STi. I'm not expecting great things from it, that Volvo is a bit of a beast though ! The STi is another case of the FQ400 Evo, too expensive for the performance (relative to a slightly tweaked sti) too laggy and generally lacks the overall feel of something like Litchfield's Type 25 due to the lack of attention paid to the steering etc. O well should be fast though

Really looking forward to this ep!

Psycho Ned · 6 Feb 2011 at 20:03

Lol time for the Albanian ambassador to put his complaint in early I suspect

Foyman · 6 Feb 2011 at 20:08

Missed the first couple of minutes. What's with the "Bentley"?

Glaucus · 6 Feb 2011 at 20:09

Bentley pulled out just before filming, pay backs a *****

SideWinder · 6 Feb 2011 at 20:14

Fat man crawling into the boot of the car.

Azza · 6 Feb 2011 at 20:14

Hahaha!

Vonhelmet · 6 Feb 2011 at 20:18

That Albanian girl is hawt.

Want that Volvo! Can't believe I'm saying that! Shame they won't be producing it

Neolink · 6 Feb 2011 at 20:32

Me too, broke my heart when he said they were not in production

snowdog · 6 Feb 2011 at 20:38

Meh missed the first 10 mins...

Why didn't they make more of them RS500's or price them higher ? Or did they sell them at a loss ?
Shame they also don't sell the Volvo.

I want it too, cracking motor. 400bhp and 4wd drive, ideal hatchback.

Any idea to why it's not going into production?

Because it would be a Volvo that people will actually want to own

Migs are epic

Vonhelmet · 6 Feb 2011 at 20:54

That Rolls is ugly... looks like someone dropped a rock on the bonnet and the only spare they could find at the scrapyard was the wrong colour.

Neolink · 6 Feb 2011 at 20:56

Police chase :eek:
