Brilliant, lets hope we have more of Tom Ford, Tim Shaw and Johnny Smith and less of those idiots Plato and Needell goofing around in supercars.

Some nice sensible economical and electric cars are whats needed in this day and age.

Lewis Hamilton gives his verdict on an amazing new supercar, while Jason hits the Italian highways in a Ferrari 458 Italia....

From another thread methinks "The Chief" buys/sells bits, that could be used to make electric invalid trolleys... sorry cars, so a vested interest ?

How many presenters does a half hour show need ? I like Tom Ford, and can cope with Tiff's smugness and Plato's woodenness, but I don't like the geeky student, can't stand the hip DJ, and have always disliked the 'ooh, I'm a racing driver you know, and aren't I gorgeous' VBH. That, and their insistence at trying to emulate Top Gear with silly stunts and challenges, when most people agree that the stunts and challenges are what's ruining TG anyway. If they'd had a presenter cull and refocussed on providing car reviews with Tom, Tiff and Jason, along with some news, features and the odd supercar w*nk-fest they'd have made a show worth watching. IMHO

I think VBH should do a lesbian threesome with a large pot of honey inside a new Rolls Royce Shadow.

Either that or test interesting real world cars. Topless.

From what I've seen her do on screen, I would question that. Clumsy, awkward, unbalanced and lacking smoothness. All she seems to have over many females is the ***** to try throwing cars around, but not significantly more ability. Maybe the years she's been trying has given her more experience, but I see little natural ability in her.

Youd be wrong Dave. Ive seen her appraised by people who race for a living and their opinion differs.

Ive also seen her (on television) get within the same second as a professional racing a truck, all within a handful of laps, under instruction. I come from a racing family and I can drive a lorry: so I can appreciate how difficult that really is.

I've always thought excactly the same thing, whenever she attempts to powerslide anything she always seems to just back off, yank the steering on to fast and just floor it and hang on till it's about to spin, then just back off quickly, wind all the lock off, and then wobble of down the straight trying not to over correct it!
