Ben Parkinson lost his legs in Afghanistan and watched tons of Top Gear during his recovery. Jeremy heard of him and setup a day for him to spend a day with the Top Gear team.

Ben saw his hero, test driver The Stig, pull some jaw-dropping stunts in a Â£350,000 Ascari A10 supercar and Â£160,000 Aston Martin DBS at BBC2′s Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey.
