It is that time of year again when the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders) invites us to another day of road testing the latest cars on the UK roads.

This event centres around Thruxton, and the local roads prove worthy of the new cars on offer. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't quite so friendly, but what are British road tests without a little rain?!?

Vehicles driven include:

• Lotus Emira
• MG HS
• Kia EV9
• BMW Z4
• Hyundai Ioniq 5 N
• MG Cyberster

With an unusual set of priorities, Formula One's stewards step in to deal with the big issue... Too much swearing!?!

We also look at the problems with the amount of flooded roads at the moment, and the reckless nature of some (but not all!) who get stuck in them.

• As Graham recalls a previous auction of a W196, we look forward to the RM Sotherby's sale of the 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 'Monza' Streamliner F1 car, valued at between $50 million and $70 million, from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum
• Jim catches up with Formula One's return from its summer holidays

Yes, it is time for another episode, but we are at the British Motor Show in Farnborough this week with lots to see and do, cars old and new, and many many (did we say many?) people to talk to about all things motoring. So, we'll bring you some of the many highlights once were back!

Whilst Graham and Mike are left back in the studio, Dave gets out and about for some sunshine and fresh air at this year's Festival of the Unexceptional, a celebration of long-forgotten everyday family cars from 1969-1999, now fondly known as the ‘Unexceptional Era'.

Mike and Jim attend the launch of 355 by Evoluto, a reimagining of the iconic 90s Italian supercar, on a pleasant summer's evening close to the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Whilst marvelling over the car's 420hp, 23% improved stiffness, and plush new interior, they also reflect on the day's other big launch.... That of the new "All-Electric Ford Capri".
