Ive seen the adverts looks pretty good, I'll be setting the vid recorder due to me being in the gym tonight. If its pants a bit of fast forward action. The last couple of series have not been great. Vicki Butler Henderson can drive fair play plus she's not bad looking.

What an effort to try and copy some of Top Gears formula

Its better to watch for sure, but some absolute blantant rip offs. Good old fifth gear..........

Well I was hoping for something good.

Liked the Ferrari Auction. Cant believe the Enzo prototype went for so (relatively) little!
Liked the AM V8 review. They made an effort with the music and editing.
Oh and liked the Concept Mazda small car

BUT

Whats the point in Track testing a Porsche they tested last series and a Ltd Edn Exige that have all been pre-sold!

And as for Plato giving his ego a boost "A racing driver makes a better fighter pilot than vice versa!" What a load of ****!

Next week will be Tiff in the F1 car. I was at Rockingham when he did that so I shall be looking for myself

Although the excessive road noise won't create many buyers..worse than the road noise in a Scooby.

Or maybe just a badly placed microphone?

Thats true actually.

It has to be a badly placed mic. But it was shocking if it wasnt!
