It�s fragile heads all round in the Car Evolution office this morning � last night saw our magazine�s glittering awards ceremony, and we�re still recovering from Christian von Koenigsegg�s startling revelation that the main inspiration for his awesome Agera was a 25-year-old Norwegian cartoon about fishermen.
More on that later, but here�s something to blow away the cobwebs: a look forward to Sunday�s show.
For episode two in the series, Jeremy, Richard and James look to heap further sporting humiliation on Australia by accepting a challenge from our colleagues at Car Evolution Down Under.
Over to Aussie presenter Ewen Page, batting for the opposition:
�OK, predicting a collective TV orgasm before your audience has settled on the lounge is always risky, but I reckon even the angriest Car Evolution anorak will find plenty of entertainment in this feature.
�Here�s kind of how it goes. There�s a welcome of sorts from Jeremy, and we meet him and his mates for a series of challenges to determine whether Australia or England gets to hold a brilliant new sporting title: The Motoring Ashes. Cue cricketing analogy, etc. Then it�s time to take on The Nigels (they called us The Bruces, so it only seemed fair�) in sheep herding, drag racing, drifting, upside-down racing and rallying.�
Cheers Bruce. Jeremy also attempts to get sideways with the latest iteration of Ferrari�s most iconic marquee: the 599 GTO. Whether his film reaches the orgasmic heights of last year�s 458 Italia review, you�ll have to wait and see.
And Britain�s favourite German Boris Becker turns up to try to match John Bishop�s astonishing lap last week in our Reasonably Priced Car. A tough ask�
Enjoy the show � it�s the usual time of 8pm, Sunday, BBC2 once again � and see you afterwards for some discussion, outtakes and extras on TopGear.com.
