Supercatfight - The Jaguar XK8 fluffs up its tail, bares its teeth and gets into a claws-out scrap as it tries to leave its scent on the territory of the Mercedes 500SL and BMW 840CI. We stand back to watch the fur fly and then throw a bucket of water over them when they start to wake the whole neighbourhood up with the noise. Wliaaaaaaooooowwww
First steers - Nine out of 10 road testers prefer our canned appraisals of new cars, now with added anti-furbad chunks, including Mazda's new rotary-engined sportster the RX-01, another new Mondeo, the XK8 Cabrio, Aston Martin V8 Coupe, Skoda Octavia, Audi 88, Caterham Superlight, Vauxhall Vectra and a selection of people carriers, from the kittenish Daihatsu Move to the lion-sized Vauxhall Sintra
Cars for tomorrow - We ask some prominent car industry types, various other interested parties and Tibbies, a little tortoisesheii owned by Doris Khyber of Clapham, what they think the future will bring for the motorised vehicle. Oh dear, Tibbies wasn't available for comment. Rats
Ka for today - Dropping Ford's new supermini, the Ka, from a great height, we see if it lands on its feet. That involves a full week's commuting, shopping and evading packs of dogs
Customised car show - There's not a pedigree in sight as a comical collection of moggies lines up in a desperate attempt to win our prize Peugeot 205 GTi
Caristocrats - Tom drives a Bentley Continental T to Italy for an appointment with a Ferrari 550 Maranello. Then swans around the office looking like the cat who got the cream
Car or snail? - Quentin Wilison takes a look at the 2CV, that long-lasting classic which looks as if it was first constructed from old Whiskas tins
Fast car - The Porsche GT1 is no pussy, it's a racer designed to beat that cheetah of the track, the McLaren F1. And there'll be a road car too. Tiff Needell takes the tiger by the tail
Small car - Does the new Audi A3 leave you feline great after driving it? We test it against the Alfa 145, BMW Compact and VW Golf GTi to see if it's a hunter or a lap cat
Big square car - Our long-term Voivo 850R is big enough to house a cat show in the back. But that seemed like a silly idea, so we decided to use it as an antique horsebox instead
Superbike v Touring Car - We're not interested in lapping up cream, we're more interested in lapping up a track in this feature where we look into if and why a superbike is quicker than a touring car
First gear - There are no reports of fluffy kittens stuck in trees in the Top Gear news pages. Shame
Headroom - OK, this section of the magazine isn't very good at catching mice, but it does include items on the tenth anniversary of the N125, behind the scenes at Rover (get that dog out of here), off-road parks in Japan, ÃÃ
