But if you do it as a quick bimble from Watford it is a 932 mile round trip. :)

Have you unedumacated lot never heard of the Hertfordshire Alps?

Ok, so it's a nickname for the A507 Baldock to Buntingford road, but it is like riding an alpine pass only without the mountains.

I amazed people didn't get the 'joke'!! They made such a deal about the letter from a viewer arguing against test driving Ferraris as they are useless in built up areas and the like.

One of my mates on Facebook got very irate about it!!

Apparently he has a very good relationship with the authorities who have no problem closing roads for TG if they ask !!

But just to confirm, it DEFINITELY wasn't Hertfordshire !!

so then why did JC say he was in Hertfordshire?! booooo, no fair (is grumpy and stamps feet a lot)!

Because everything on Top Gear is fiction. It's almost too scripted and edited now. All the challenges have to be. You don't actually believe all that nonsense do you?

I spent the whole piece trying to work out which part of Hertfordshire is and wasn't concentrating on the review of the car. Now I don't know which Ferrari buy!
