  This review is from: Top Gear Season 11 (UK) (Amazon Instant Video)

  Jeremy screams in the Nissan GT-R around the Fuji race track. Interestingly, all Japanese cars are limited to 112mph when on the normal roads. The satellite tracking system knows the car is on a race track, and removes the speed limiter. What happens to Jeremy at the end is deserved after his nasty remarks about Keira Knightly in the previous episode (Karma is rough Jeremy). They get a copy of the car shipped to England and they drive the GT-R around the Top Gear test track, while listening to Elton John.

  They break away for the news.

  James drives his Rolls Royce Cornice that he got for 25,000 pounds. Jeremy drives a 1963 Mercedes 600 Grosse – or the most expensive car that year, and massive. At the test track The Stig drives a Hyundai 1.4 liter mini thing. The two monsters try to beat the time. There are several other challenges. The best is the two of them trying to park in London.

  The two stars in the reasonably priced car are Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis from a British television program The Dragon’s Den (apparently similar to The Shark Tank – people pitch their ideas and try to get millionaires to invest in their ideas). The interview is excellent – they really give it back to Jeremy hard.

  The last challenge is a kind of goofy Daihatsu that tries to out run dogs in fox hunting. Richard rides a horse and Jeremy drives the Daihatsu through the countryside trying to evade the fox hunters with horses and dogs. I didn’t car much for this one.
