This is a classic episode, made more famous by the fact that right after filming the illustrious QW put his foot in it a bit hard and stuffed that beautiful maroon GT5 into the wall on Copse corner at Silverstone.

There was a follow up after the BBC spent GBP50K rebuilding the car. It came back with 180 headers and was in an episode on Clarkson's top 100 (at #40) with him driving it around an airfield. A copy used to be online, but I can't find it now.
