That particular episode was originally taped and aired in June of last year IIRC. It was right before Massa got hurt and the initial speculations of a Schumacher return surfaced. It was a pretty exciting time! The Top Gear guys were talking about that in the News segment over several shows. Too bad they don't air that part on BBC America, it really shows how well those three work together. But I digress. Anyway!

This is truly an Enzo........................ Discussed in June when it aired on the BBC. Next week they will let you in on the joke. You can watch the episodes when they come out using the Final Gear website. Still was a fun episode to watch.

interesting thought especially as he is contracted to a rival channel and show!
