In the latest episode of Top Gear, the lads took some 80s and 90s supercar heroes for a spin around Yorkshire. Chris was in the legendary Ferrari F40. Freddie was in the 217mph Jaguar XJ220. And Paddy was in a Lamborghini Diablo... for a bit. So here's Chris taking us through the the F40 and XJ220, explaining what makes them so special and which one he prefers.

I am a real car lover, I’ve seen practically every Supercar / Hypercar ever made and to this day there are only 2 cars that have literally left me breathless when I first saw them, the first was a brand new white Lamborghini Countach 5000QV belonging to a local building contractor in around 1987, the other was a Silver XJ220 in a local Jaguar Dealer around 1990. They remain my favourite cars of all time, they are both stunning in such different ways!

More like, "just make it a Chris show". Jack is just so mediocre at his job that losing him would save money and the entertainment value would remain the same. When next to Chris, his lack of confidence and genuine passion on the subject matter is clear to see, so if anything he's holding Chris back. Chris is playing along for this video because it's his job, so he has to. All Jack is doing is asking basic, straightforward questions for this short recap video, which is not something Chris ever did back on the Drive channel, and just doesn't fit his style because recap videos tend to be made as "fluff"/filler content.

Harris is such a car and driving anorak that it's incredible to listen to him. 110% respect.

I'm 49 this year, and was a teenager when both these amazing cars was unleashed on the world. And I'm so thankful, so amazed, still in awe of these two monsters. Ferrari F40 shook the world when it was released, but it was a Ferrari and with Enzo having passed away not long before, it was expected to perform as the epitome of the dreams of the old man. Jaguar? Totally out of left field, came out of nowhere, totally blindsided us. Those in the know, didn't share, and we were, ironically thankful. It was a time before the internet and the mass media of today. And I remain thankful to have had the joy of being a part of the world and seeing something totally new. And not be totally jaded about it 6 months before it's grand unveiling.
