I watched it..always do. Thought it was a poor episode myself.
But the supermarket crashing made me chuckle. In an Austin Powers kind of way.

My highlight was the season preview clips at the start.
Rear shot of the Macca P1 on a smidge of opposite lock..belching blue flames out of its dustbin sized exhaust.
That will be episode 2 then..

It was what i expected it to be like - Was i disappointed ? - Yes

The Nova/XR2/GTI thing ran through the whole programme and it never once compared the three cars to modern day equivalents (the hill climb thing wasn't really as all three cars were crap condition etc) So what really was the point ? Was it entertaining , a little but the b eing chased by the police bit was too long and rather pathetic .

Will i watch the next programme ? Yes of course as what other motoring shows are there - very few - surprised something else hasn't appeared to compete or rival Top Gear


How on earth would a Vauxhall Nova compare to say a Corsa VXR... simply wouldn't, no point even comparing them.

Tbh if I was offered a mint Nova GTE or a Corsa VXR , I'd be having the Nova.

I agree loved that alfa aswell I know they are crap have driven quite a few both classic and modern but there is something about them! and an alfa V6 on chat is probably the best sounding engine in my humble opinion!

Even as a hardened Mclaren hater I could not be anything but impressed with that P1. 

Still think they're dicks though  :wink:

Better programme last night , Star in RPC is wearing a bit thin and hopefully something a bit more entertaining to replace it . When Jeremy says " Who wants to see his lap " everyone should say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and that would be the end of it . There , thats got rid of that bit EASY  :happy2:

I agree I dont think the guages suited the rest of the car but most modern hyper cars accelerate so so violently that that conventional analogue clocks cant keep up with the real time speed this is the case with the Lexus LFA. Mclaren are fastidious with detail and technology so this Is why I assume they opted for this style of digital clock arrangement!
