Sounds like it could be a good show, I enjoy the way Quentin Wilson presents, I just hope it's not dumbed down for the mass market. Stupid competitions, 'yuf' presenters trying to appeal to a young market.

Not impressed by the calibre of the guests (had to google Gandy) but otherwise could be interesting.

As long as the stars are the cars it should be a good one!

Discussed on Chris Evans Radio 2 show this morning where QW was a guest. Sounds like the objective of the programme is right, not trying to be a new Top Gear. Although QW described classic car lovers as having body hygiene problems, so a bit of humour has crept in smile

David is a real down to earth petrol head too, chatted and met him a lot over the last year or so and he owned an Elise many years ago, was recounting one of his favourite drives was in a Caterham down to Goodwood etc.

Why do Channel 5 need Count Quentin when they can wheel out there experts Bernie and Mawio??

Fair play to C5 for what looks like it could be a better attempt at a classic car show. I think I'll Sky+ it so I can Ffwd through all the ads and the 'coming up next' bits, should whittle it down to 30 minutes.

Is Tinie Tempah a car enthusiast or a fashionable yoof sleb ?

Will give this a watch when it starts.

According to Torygraph Cars it was filmed last summer and were twiddling thumbs to see who would broadcast it. I thought it would be ITV4 but good on 5 for picking it up.

Is that a thumbs up for the show or are you a Tiny Tempah fan LG? Did anyone else see it and is it worth a punt?

I had to Google Tinie Tempah to see who/what it/they was - as long as he doesn't start rapping it'll probably be OK. Though must say I have reservations on whether the car or the presenter will be the star. Hope lives eternal! biggrin

Will always give a car show a try ,as long as Bernie and Leepu aren't involved.
