Got to disagree John - i thought it was great.

Admittedly i am looking forward to 'normal' car reviewing next week but I’m more than happy for them to throw in a road trip every now and then.

I also think that the way the show is packaged and presented is awesome. The camera effects and style in which they are used are and the 3 of them together make a great team.

IMHO its the best thing on telly at the mo..

I have to agree with Rob, they seem to appeal to everyone, even the wife. Although i would like to see some tests of real life cars at some point.

I think we laughed all the way through.

I was thinking though if an hour show had the normal lay out for the first half and then something different for the second half such as car club, rally cars, track cars and the show scene.

I just think its great to know how a Murciélago handles on the track but I aint ever going to be able to drive one so maybe something for everyone tom, dick and harriet.

I am most definately got to watch that again , I had to admit I was busy on the internet and peering over the laptop for a glance, the Mrs was howling and by the comments on here Im going to watch it again, properly this time. I recorded it so the little lad who was too tired to watch last night could see it today, so it will be tea infront of the tv

I was thinking what if we all apply to go on the audience? We'd be ripped to pieces but it would be cool.

Two year waiting list, but I would be up for they do groups but they want equal ratio men to women

I just watched without the laptop in the way, and OMG theres some scary people down south, but apart from that bit I PMSL, "Im not peeling a squirrel" that was funny, what a good laugh.

That would be ok, I am sure all you lovely gents will bring along the better half If only to make numbers equal.

You never know what could happen. I can see it now....... Vicky getting us all free drinks and then taking Liz for a spin around the track with Donna coming up on the inside The two Gemma's in a dual and Nicola doing the biz in Daz's new motor.
