Top Gear

If I wanted a 'car test review' I would go to the dealers and test drive the car myself.

I want to watch a funny program about cars, not a test between two French shopping cars to see which one is most suitable for Granny to go to shops in - that's why Fifth Gear died.

I take it you dont watch much fifth gear then ?

Jason and tiff are drivers, and give quality reviews.

Top gear is WASTE.

Its that staged it makes me cringe.

Id be bored watching a show about the new insignia or some other rep mobile , i want to see super cars i cant afford being thrashed about.

As said by someone else, the normal cars can be test driven at the local garages.

Yeah, there are some really funny bits. I'm sure that Clarkson writes most of the scripts anyway, and even he was shocked at how scripted things like Never Mind The Buzzcocks was when he was on it.

I'd nominate Ford, Audi and VW for great cars. I mean great in the iconic old crap kind of way.

Ford: Escort MK1 & 2 Mexico and RS2000, MK3 RS Turbo, Sierra Cosworth, Escort Cosworth, Capri.

Audi: A4 (touring cars), Quattro from 80s rallying.

VW: Golf (all variants), Type 1 Beetle.

Missed the first half last night (damn BBC schedule variations). WTF was that Twingo test all about? It got totally crap in the docks with all the crashes.

I have to agree with everything that Silver said. I watched the first one of this series, second one I watched the first 15 minutes of then couldn't be bothered with the rest, then watched the first half hour of last night's one then the girlfriend's dad and sister wanted to watch House.

I'm really not bothered by it anymore, the older ones are much better.

I actually despise the Twingo. The Fiat 500 Abarth was way cooler!

IMHO, the Lupo GTi does everything the Twingo does, similar power but less weight, nicer interior in the Lupo, and it's better looking. So much for progression eh...
