    This week Britpart has challenged us to race their Discovery II that we built last year, 400 miles from Scotland back to their HQ, all before Alex can engine swap a Series Land Rover with a V8. To make matters more complicated; Ethan and Jack will have to show off the Discovery's abilities and take it to the top of a mountain, touch the sea, onto three wheels and more before they make it back to the Britpart HQ. Who will win?

    Man it's usually fun with Jack, Ethan and the rest of the boys, but when Alex joins in, it's just perfect. You do notice his absence and all three of them together bring something, that very few crews ever actually managed to do - unrivaled chemistry. I don't care what anyone else says - these 3 are the next generation Top Gear. Each one of them bring something unique and is missed dearly when not with the other 2.
