Luckiest? I'd go with Sultan of Brunei or Jay Leno if you're measuring "lucky" with the types of cars one gets.

Good work on the Map of the track,.....that is awesome.
I downloaded that Top Gear the second it was online,......great episode. One can only hope a Veyron owner gives them their car so they can take it around the test track since Bugatti wont let them.

I tried searching for it, but I couldn't find it. Look for it on YouTube.

Right, they do it every week, but this guy in particular was quite fun to watch. Though they have had a couple with wheels coming off.
I'm looking forward to todays episode. Apparently the whole thing is a segment in America in the under X amount of dollar car buying challenge spirit.
