If you thought it was difficult enough to take your driving test, Sue Baker finds out how the professionals do it at the Army School of Mechanical Transport.
Each year 8 million cars and 111 million passengers pass through Britain's premier port. Top Gear goes behind the scenes as the holiday season builds up at this busy port. Why do we feel guilty when we go through Customs even when we have nothing to declare? Dr Michael Argyle of the Department of Psychology, Oxford University, explains. Chris Goffey reports on how the AA trains its patrolmen to cope with around two million breakdowns a year and there are road impressions on two recently announced cars.
This year marks the diamond jubilee of the Austin Seven. To commemorate it Top Gear has arranged its own Austin Seven motor show, including driving tests and a concours d'elegance for the Top Gear trophy. Sue Baker and Frank Page give their road impressions of two recently announced cars.
