Did communism ever effect the production of a great car? In an edition first shown last December, Jeremy Clarkson and James May invade Greenham Common airbase in their quest to find out. On the test track Richard Hammond goes crazy in the Veritas, a surprisingly insane sports car from Germany, and Jeremy conducts an almost ridiculously thorough road test on the Ford Fiesta. London mayor Boris Johnson is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
