Are you a government employee on strike? Like Top Gear? Here's what Jeremy Clarkson thinks of you: "I'd have them all shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families."

Part of Forza Motorsport 4's tie-up with Top Gear, the BBC's hit motoring show, is a walk-through review of 24 special vehicles by the show's co-host, Jeremy Clarkson. The videos that I not-quite-painstakingly unlocked while playing the game, were buried deep down in yesterday's review of the game. So if you missed them, let's rectify that situation — because they're too cool to miss. I mean, it's basically like watching 24 never-before-seen Top Gear car reviews. More »
