I still like it whatever happens, I did laugh at the reliant bit when it first happened, but it happened a few times to often

Fell about laughing as soon as he took the reliant onto the road and it fell over

Found a star in a reasonably priced car as tedious as ever

thumbs up with James and the volcano

I thought it was the usual show TBH

Brilliant cars at start to keep you interested then went down hill

Although the reliant thing i could not stop laughing even tough i knew it was coming !

Yeah I that it was ok. I thought they managed to get more in than usual. The CGT review annoyed me though with all the camera work, I wanted to see what the car was actually like turning and braking but they cut to some shots that looked like a person having an apoplectic fit was filming it. And I didn't quite see the point of driving up a volcano but hey ho. As has been said though that Reliant Robin was fukcing funny, I saw some streets I knew as well  :pomppomp:  Though I imagined being in the car when it fell into the river - being in a 4 point harness and seeing how fast it sunk I think there would be little chance of getting out, especially if you started to panic!
I will always watch the show no matter what though.

Sorry Rich but I just had to dig out these pics!   :popcornsoda: :sad1:

It wasn't the same model that was in top gear of course but it didn't half shift.   :scared: :surprised:

whats the thoughts for tonights top gear then???

i thought it was pretty poor. 

when i saw that they were going to pick a 4 door saloon for trackdays, i thought this should be good, and to be fair those would have been the exact cars id have chosen(id have had the 2.5 16V merc cosworth instead though)  that could have been alot better, but it turned out to be rubbish as per usual, where was the need to put an orchestra in the car??

thought the idea of picking a track car was a good idea but the brass band was  :stupid:
