@@elijahherman, yeah right 👍. I totally get that. There’s just some people, who have that effect on me too. 🌈
That is perhaps the most genuine surprise I've seen in years... Absolutely brilliant
"You have a passionate interest in V8s..." and that's why Kevin McCloud is awesome!

I thought I was going crazy when he did that working out
Great driving Kevin. Here is a man who has owned many a fast car and he says "I never thought you could get so much pleasure out of a little 1. -- whatever it is." We can all learn something from that remark, because most people who desire these extremely fast cars can't even use or enjoy the performance of their "little 1- whatever it is". Kevin certainly can and he now knows that you don't need a very fast expensive car to get a buzz out of driving. I rode motor bikes before I got to drive a car and I soon learnt that small motor bikes can be great fun. You can't throw a Harley around like you can a small agile 250cc. This was one of the most informative "Top Gear shows" I have ever watched. Thank you Kevin.
i love grand designs and top gear, its good to see them mix.
I have no idea about who he is but it really seems like a humble one... That lap time 👏👏

Believe it or not he hosts one of those 'let's go around the world and look at unique houses' shows called Grand Designs. Some streaming service will surely have many many episodes to find of it.
Just like i though ... Do you hear downshifting before the turn when he brakes? that when u know that lap time is gonna be a good one.

Try Jodie Kidd, its good as well
It's amazing, how neat his lines through the curves were. Apparently, that makes a big difference in the overall time...
I like to listen to both of them. Very intelligent guys. As for Mr McCloud's lap, well done! Anyone can drive a car fast, but accuracy is a skill.
i love Jeremy Clarkson , i have always loved this show because of him and the other cast... this show would be nothing without him.. the cast together have the perfect chemistry however i would still watch the show if it was just Jeremy Clarkson .... good job to all
That lap was fantastic
Grand Designs would be my 2nd or 3rd favorite show on tv, behind Top Gear & Time Team. Great to see Kevin on TG, and being second all time is great. Speaking of Time Team, perhaps TG could get Tony Robinson, Mick Aston, or Phil Harding on to do a lap? Now there's an idea!
Has to be one of the nicest people on TV.

WOW. KEVIN IS TRULY A ONE OF A KIND LEGEND OF TV. I THINK ABOUT HIM EVERY DAY. I HAVE A PIC OF HIM AS MY BACKGROUND ON MY PHONE. HE IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!
Good on him that was definitely a really REALLY good lap.
Excellent show as always it's a shame that other TV shows don't share the experience with the guests or audience what a show that would be other television networks definitely can learn off Top gear a what people really want they want to be involved.
That penultimate corner............. wow.......... and a nice guy.
WOW! What a nice run! Not that "flamboyant" but amazingly smooth.
From all these reasonably priced car interviews, there seems to be a hot chick behind the celebrities all the time.

I remember when this first aired when Jeremy said “One minute, forty................five” everyone stopped everything and gasped with shock. All air pressure in the building dropped.
Wow! McCloud is one of my miths! I love his program and I will use a lot of ideas I've seen in the series in my house (work will start next week!)! Thank you for posting!

"Thank God for Jay Kay!" Great show, great lap.
"I've serviced most of my own cars", that just made what he said, afterwards, null and void.

Kevin McCloud is a top bloke. Not only is he a damn good presenter, but he's super modest with it. I love it when cocky celebs come onto TG expecting to put in a decent lap and fail, but I like it even more when one comes on, genuinely aiming for a decent mid table time, only to find themselves at the top of the board. Well done Kevin... \o/
Grand Designs great programme.
Half a second? Jeremy, he was half a tenth slower.
I really enjoyed watching that
aww the manly hug bless...
I’ve never seen this episode please show it.
if they hadn't said the lap was 'amazing' in the title that would have been a complete surprise
fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1.45.83 against 1.45.87 is actually only 4 100ths of a second, not 1/2 sec as our Jezza says. Good job Kev!!
This is gold! Kevin is great! and Jeremy just a bit greater :-)
everybody loves kevin
355 AND a Cerbera? What legend.
brilliant driving
It's actually 1/25th of a second slower, .04 second

Kevin McCloud was brilliant: cracking bloke, despite eco views :)
I always thought, watching the earlier episodes of GD's, where it makes a cameo appearance every now & then, it was a Speed 12! Bit disappointing to hear it was only a Cerbera....Then again, our only experience with TVR's in this country is pretty much limited to GT3 & GT4 on Playstation 2, so no wonder I can't tell the difference!
which episode/season was that on?
Well done vert fast lap..
