Top Gear - Season 17 - Episode 2
As the Eurotunnel consortium prepares for the second phase of its fund-raising effort, William Woollard examines the full-scale models of the special car and truck wagons that could be carrying thousands of vehicles a day under the Channel by 1993. Each year over 1,000 children are killed or seriously injured while travelling in cars, but 83 per cent of children wear no form of restraint. Sue Baker reviews the wide range of safety devices now available for children, and talks to parents about why they ignore their obvious benefits. Frank Page road-tests the new three-litre Vauxhall Carlton , which eased out the new Jaguar XJ6 and BMW series as Car of the Year of 1987. Chris Goffey investigates the esoteric world of sporting trials, off-road hill-climbing, known as ‘mud-plugging’.
