Top Gear Appearance
The episode aired 13 February 2011 contained a challenge for a 4-seat convertible costing under 2000 pounds. All 3 presenters purchased E30 325i convertibles. Aftermarket modifications to the cars included Clarkson's car (the only fitted with an automatic gearbox) having a paving slab in the boot to improve handling, and Hammond's car (which handled the worst of the 3 cars) having aftermarket wheels and lowered suspension.

Famous quotes containing the words top, gear and/or appearance:
“Atheism..., that bugbear of women and fools, is the very top and perfection of free-thinking. It is the grand arcanum to which a true genius naturally riseth, by a certain climax or gradation of thought, and without which he can never possess his soul in absolute liberty and repose.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“But Lord, remember me and mine
Wi’ mercies temporal and divine!
That I for grace and gear may shine,
Excelled by nane!
And a’ the glory shall be thine!
Amen! Amen!”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
“The fear of death is indeed the pretence of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being the appearance of knowing the unknown.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
