Top Gear - Back in the Fast Lane
The best of Series 1 and 2

Top Gear is definitely a series that is aimed at the car enthusiast and with the release of Top Gear - Back in the Fast Lane, Series 1 and 2, I'm sure this DVD will bring a smile to petrol heads around the world.

This compilation features the best segments of series one and two of Top Gear, presented by the charismatic, outspoken and comedic Jeremy Clarkson that includes guest appearances by Harry Enfield, Jonathan Ross, Jay Kay, Steve Coogan, Anne Robinson and Tara Palmer-Tompkinson to name a few of the stars that grace this series.

With that said, this BBC series mixes fast cars, humour, wit and sarcasm in an entertaining compilation that not only showcases classic cars such as the Aston Martin Vanguish but also some outrageous segments such as Doughnut Grannies and Planes versus Cars.

Definitely a great gift for those petrol heads who simply cannot get enough cars in their life and match that with a healthy dose of humour and some outrageous and sometimes informative segments and one can appreciate why this series was so popular in the UK.

Both the video and audio quality of the DVD is above-average quality that looks superb on a 42" Plasma which really shows the beauty of these mechanical beasts. Match that with the wit of Jeremy Clarkson and the sounds of these untouchable cars and one could be mistaken in thinking that they are at the pub with these fantasy cars in the car park. Great stuff!
