Season 12: Ep 6 - The “Sensible” Fiesta Test
Jeremy and James invade the Greenham Common air force base to ask the question: Did the Communists ever make a good car?
Richard goes crazy on the Top Gear test track in the Veritas, a surprisingly insane sports car from Germany.
Jeremy conducts a ridiculously thorough road test of the new Ford Fiesta.
London Mayor Boris Johnson is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

The Russian car part is the highlight of the episode, I think.

That Caterham is amazing. Raw, unadorned, stripped down. It's beautiful.

I want to race some old Eastern Bloc cars and then set them on fire (assuming it doesn't burst into flames on its own). :rofl:

| 11. True, Although Ezra Dyer writes for Esquire, he also writes for Automobile Magazine. |
|
Along with some no-name rag called the New York Times (a blog anyway).
But even for writing for GQ, mix in a trip to Bondurant or something.

down the budget a bit.
The Vietnam special was great television. This was just dumb.
I'm aware that this post completely contradicts itself.
