villains of science fiction and "Top Gear"

One of the things I like most about hanging out on LJ is how I randomly come across bits of information I would never otherwise have found out, like the fact that the British show "Top Gear" once had a face-off between "the classic villains of science fiction" to see who could have the fastest lap around the racetrack in a Honda Civic.

Well, a clip of something like that can't be too hard to find on Youtube, I thought . . . and I thought correctly. Here you go:

I won't spoil it for you by telling you who shows up, but I will say it had me laughing out loud.
