Eternal optimist Mal Pemberton (Phil Glenister), his wife Jen (Lesley Sharp) and their teenage kids Tina (Rosie Day) and Freddie (Brenock O'Connor), uproot their lives in Yorkshire and move lock-stock and barrel to Florida to run an RV park.

The minute they touch down in America everything feels like a permanent holiday - bright blue skies, a giant house with a pool, and a convertible car to cruise around in - it seems they really are going to be Living the Dream. Although, it soon transpires that eternal optimism doesn't always make for the best decision-making and the Park is less of a viable business venture and more of a rundown tip. Not to mention home to a bunch of eclectic local residents (Leslie Jordan, Kevin Nash) who know nothing about the arrival of their new owners and have zero interest in co-operating with them. Turns out life in Florida might not be a permanent holiday after all.

"2003 has been the best year for new cars - ever! In this video, I put the best of the best to the test. But I'm not interested in reliability, fuel consumption or even cup holders. This is all about finding the car of the year that put the biggest smile on my face...It's all about the excitement...

So I put the Bentley Continental GT head to head against the Rolls Royce Phantom in a heavy metal drag race. I pitch the Mitsubishi Evo VIII against it old enemy - the Subaru Impreza Sti. I choose the best road car you can use on a track and the contenders are the lotus Elise, the Vauxhall VX220 Turbo and the new TVR350C. There's a supercar showdown between the Pagani Zonda and the Koenigsegg. And I throw down the gauntlet to the Lamborghini Gallardo, the Aston Martin DB7 GT, the Porsche GT3 an many more. I also found time to put a new spin on the art of caravan towing - flipping one on its roof and hooking it up to a super fast Overfinch Range Rover. In fact, I had so much fun...I'm still smiling now. I'm sure you will too." Enjoy - Jeremy Clarkson.

Which is faster round a race track? A Porsche 911 or the fearsome Yamaha R1? Which would you rather have? A Ferrari 360 Modena or the new Aston Martin DB7 Vantage? Which is the best road going rocketship? The BMW M5 with Tiff Needell at the wheel? Or my Jaguar XJR which uses a tank for back up?

Then there's the new breed of Japanese super tech cars. Which is best, the Evo6 or the 22b? And can the Japanese silicone wizardry beat European style? And there's more. Grimace a Hyundai what it's like to be eaten, and marvel at the gigantic Lamborghini LM002 as it wreaks havoc with London's traffic. And then settle back for the greatest race Silverstone has ever seen. Johnny Herbert in his Stewart Ford and Colin McRae in his full rally spec Focus versus Clarkson in a Cougar!
