First of, Padddy McGuinness came up with an idea to create a cut-price solution to the all-new Land Rover Defender, using an old Bedford Rascal as its base. The result? The Dirty Rascal, a budget offroader with some creature comforts at the back. The gang took the Dirty Rascal through series of torture tests to see if whether or not their homemade offroader is worth driving everywhere.

Then, there's the big one as  Chris and Paddy went to the RAF Marham air base for the long-awaited rematch between a hypercar and a fighter jet. This time, they've pitted the best of the British, the all-new McLaren Speedtail, against the RAF's newest addition, an American-made F-35B Lightning II. So much for the so-called special relationship.

Romesh Ranganthan is this episode's Star in a Reasonably Fast Car and he did it in 1:53.9 in Very Wet conditions.

Next time, the boys' Peruvian adventure in second-hand American cars and the Porsche Taycan at the test track.
