Top gear returns 8:00pm (BBC2)

[dkmech]

I don't want a program that waxes lyrical about how many cubby holes a car has. If i want this i will buy the mag. Don't forget they have that too, and it has plenty of cheap cars in it. So when I watch the tv show i am very happy its as fun as it can be. And would you ever watch it at all if it droned on about how much space a micra has and how economical an agila is, instead of telling you that an agila may be fun on twisty stuff with demonstrating it in some spectacular way. I got a 1995 106 - and will keep it for another year and a half. I may never get a db9 (although i did get to drive a Ferrari in a car park) but i sure want to see one raced against a tgv to Monaco!

I think top gear is a top top program, cant see anything wrong with it.
1) Makes me laugh
2) Has very very nice cars
3) Does crazy stuff (toyota last year!!)

I think that even if i was going to be buying a ford focus and i had the choice between watching an Aston being driven to the South of France, and a focus being driven round the M25 i would go for the Aston.

Becuase you can go a test the focus yourself and make your own personal opinion rather than possibly being influenced by someone else. Then you can go and test drive a rover equivlent, and a vauxhall equivalent. Picking the one you like best.

Where as with the Aston you arent realistically going to get a test drive in one, and then go to a Porsche garage and test drive that.

Basically just like the show

Having seen fifth gear last night,, with its very useful (but not for me) review of the Softroaders i am now struggling to remember what else was in the show. Oh, yes, the PS2 rally driving bloke.

I will take "stupid" races to monaco in db9s and apache's chacing exiges any day of the week!

By the way. There is a new section with clips from the show on topgear webby http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/downloads/ Ask for the exige vs Apache clip now

Wicked like the way it says "Narrow band" instead of 56k, or "baseband" as the correct term is
