It's good to see that the Discovery demonstrated its inherent
superiority during the programme last night. But, to be honest, I don't
think any of the regulars really looked all that clever on the snow and
ice. And Clarkson seemed so determined to prove himself a pratt...

But was that the Stig going down the ski-jump, or was it a crash-test
dummy?

I think he proved he can't drive for toffee.

The "Stig" was far too stocky a build to have been Tom Chilton.....

Wasn't that Petrolheads thing rubbish.

Against the new Jaguar, a rear wheel drive GT with wide low profile tyres,
on snow and ice, I should hope so.

Always does, but then the programme is made for the great unwashed so lots
of bad driving, sliding, spinning etc (= slow driving) is obligatory.
Wonder they don't all have their front fog lights on permanently.

Didn't look like a dummy, those things have good balance with a rider
anyway.
