They did state that the "Miata" - it was a US show - was a girls car.

Skyline isn't a sports car. It's half of nasa with some wheels attached.

I switched it off as soon as they said the 911 was the No. 1. It can only be the F40.

The F40 isnt a sports car IMO... its a super car... otherwise youd have all the XJ200 and McClaren F1 in there etc...

The Mclaren F1 was in there, it was no 3. The show was cr@p, having the mx5 at 2 was just laughable.

Part of the criteria for position was accessibility to the car. The Macca was obviously ****e in this respect but excelled in all the others.

At least the technical explanations from that convicted criminal Lord Brocket and his contemporaries were good for a laugh.

The explanation of how a turbcharger does the business by that so called actor/ racing car driver had me rolling on the floor.

That turbo explanation was pitiful. Recycles gas back into the engine? WTF!
