Yesterday I posted up a video clip featuring the guys from the critically acclaimed BBC program Top Gear as they modify a simple streetcar BMW to get it ready for a 24-hour Britcar racing event. I figured since I got us all involved in this adventure, we might as well see the finale of this very amusing Top Gear episode.

Part 1 of this clip ended with Top Gear's Jeremy, James, Richard, and The Stig managing to qualify for the Britcar 24 Hour Challenge, but at the cost of their makeshift race vehicle. Part 2 begins with the diagnosis of the modified BMW, and it's got almost as many problems as the U.S. economy. With their car in almost certain shambles, along with an uncertain chance to even make the race in time, our Top Gear heroes are at an obvious disadvantage. But do the Top Gear blokes overcome the odds and get in the race in time to make an impact? You'll have to watch to find out.
