Gotta say, I've been very critical of TG for the last few years. IMHO they had lost the plot after the 2009 run, getting sillier and more annoying. But, tonights show was excellent. the Pagani was astounding, the Bentley was amazing in Meeke's hands, and the P45 was Clarkson doing what he does best. I hope the rest of this short run is as good.

the Pagani was a joke

interior looked like something out of Flash Gordon

bodywork was like a kit car

800k -- I guarantee none of the TG presenters would pay over 100k for it

If I'd won that £148m on the Euromillions, I'd have one in heartbeat.

i would genuinely be embarrassed to sit in it and look at that dash all day

not sure how much a 458 is, but would have one over that, even if it cost the same

458 is about £170k + options.
Huayra is £800k-£1m.

If I could afford a Huayra, I'd have a 458 as well.

My two boys (17 and 7) laughed themselves silly to choking point over JC's piece about the P45......I had a few chuckles LOL

I guess that's the age of the target audience?

Was there a bit of product placement going on?
In the opening part of the show there was a white Seat (Leon, I think) parked in the middle of the scene, a distant view and a lingering side view.
Did you see anything about it in the show?
