Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel look at the riskiest and most reckless ways to spend £20,000 in the used performance and luxury car market. How about a 23-year-old Bentley Arnage, complete with 6.75-litre V8, for £19,000? Dan and Andrew unearth several 12-cylinder cars for that money, plenty of British and Italian sports cars and some German super saloons as well.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the remarkable racing career of Michael Schumacher. The German driver once held all the Formula 1 records, including most championships, most wins and most poles. Many of those records have since been broken, but for lots of F1 fans Schumacher is still the greatest ever to do it. But along with his ferocious speed and intellect came a darker side – a need to win so fierce he twice crashed into competitors in championship deciders. And did his Mercedes comeback in 2010 hurt his legacy?
