Season 9  "Stretch Limos"  9x6

Aired 17 years ago - Mar 04, 2007

I think the Audi is a very polite car.

Oh my god!

Then May turned up and boy were we in for a shock.

Our first task was to test out each other's cars

It's just making me want to pee.
Recap of Top Gear Season 9 Episode 6 (S09E06) - 17
It hasn't got one.

not all limos are used for hen nights,
Recap of Top Gear Season 9 Episode 6 (S09E06) - 19
Yeah, just on the trigger thing.
Recap of Top Gear Season 9 Episode 6 (S09E06) - 20
I planned to get into the Alfa end and reverse away forwards.

Ok now, just before we move off "Doctor Who", I've got 1 important question:

and then he covered the bonnet with roses, too.
Recap of Top Gear Season 9 Episode 6 (S09E06) - 28
It's not for me. I don't like it at all.
Recap of Top Gear Season 9 Episode 6 (S09E06) - 29
Who'd like to see Billie's lap?
Recap of Top Gear Season 9 Episode 6 (S09E06) - 30
Where do you reckon on the board that was?
Recap of Top Gear Season 9 Episode 6 (S09E06) - 31
I would do this like

biceps straining to burst out of the body work.

The queues are out of the door and ram the block

Because the technology is old fashioned
