Maybe the audience actually watch the pre-recorded bits "live" on the show - so too speak

Surely some posters have been on the show?!!

When you think about it, I bet the production staff monitor comments on social media, they prob post on PH too

Olly and Matt Clark were on it 'two weeks ago' (eps. aired on 8th Feb).

Next time I'm at RCM, I'll try to remember to ask what the deal is.

I think the live studio stuff is recorded on a Thursday for transmission on the Sunday.

Delivered some stuff once to a company on the airfield when they were hammering down the runway in some saloons (mazda6 mps, mondeo st220 and vectra vxr) a few years ago, and also went passed the pre production camouflaged mp4-12c on the a281 just outside the airfield around the time they had Jay Leno come down and test it. Slightly off topic but . . .

Mercedes AMG GT looks reasonable and goes well enough... however that's a lot of money for a car... think it could be better spent elsewhere.

Agreed, Margot Robbie is unbelievable.. she definitely plays a part in confirming my decision to make the hop over there at some point!

Definitely improving.
I'm a bit surprised at the reluctance of the three hypercar manufacturers to allow their cars around the track. I can't see the fuss as all three still live in the shadow of the mighty Veyron.

The placement of the sat nav and the comment about totally uninterested in cars bit made me smile on the Peugeot comedy sketch.

They're right though, my first 3 cars were 205 gti's and a gti6. Peugeot are terrible nowadays.

lol'd when they were crashing in the garden centre.

Thought the Peugeot Board meeting was funny, so was the Peugeot driving. Almost rivalled (but not quite) the Robin sketch. A damned sight better than that ambulance effort.

Yep the Pug bit was hilarious

Although they should have spent the last part of it doing a piece on the 208 GTI.

Went to this too on Sunday. Lad on the Mountain bike jumping on and off the Merc's was amazing. Great skill.


Thought the crowd were a bit muted though.

I though whole piece was in reference to the following advert - re a change back to form

That was really funny and to some extent quite true.

309 GTI was an absolutely stonking machine, a good mate of mine had one and I'd drive it regularly, best car around at the time, but everyone was obsessed with the 205's, Golfs or Renault 5 none of which couldn't hold a candle to the 309.

The Fiat uno turbo ie was a good little machine too, I doubt you'd fit in one though, Just had an image of you sat in the boot driving one.

Sorry, you know I love you really.

Bollocks... the 205 1.6 or 1.9GTi was lighter and more chuckable around country lanes than the 309 ever was. Faster and braked alot better to boot.

I chose the phase 2 R5 GTT over the 205 back in 1990 but always had an itch for one.
