I watched the edition with the Pacific Coast Highway drive and the feature on the Merc SL last night and thought it was one of the best so far.

I have re watched the pacific Highway episode and must admit It was a interesting watch. The show has it`s downfalls but some of the filming was very nice. I would go as far to say the filming was as good as the top gear filming for the overseas special episodes very impressed. I don`t want to speak with negativity about the rest of the show so I will not say anything further. I will watch future episodes There is always a mute button if things get too much for me lol.

I bow to nobody in my love for all things Classic car related and was really excited about the prospect of this new show.

I thought Quentin would be the one to wind me up, but strangely it has turned out to be Jodie. Whilst Quentin does have a strange presentation style, as noted by another poster, Jodie is so wooden. I get annoyed by her constant references to the faux nobility status of Quentin, Sir Quentin of Wilson and all that rubbish. Ok Jodie we all get that he has manufactured this persona, but the joke is getting a bit thin now. She does have good legs though, but does remind me at times a bit of Miss Piggy! Why are they still using the joke about Jodie's hairdryer / curling tongs crashing that fake computer screen every week?

No problems with Jodie in the filmed excerpts, especially as she is clearly a talented driver. I think she should be used just for this and not for the studio links.

Other than that I think the content has been great. I thought Ben Collins Aston feature was excellent. I would prefer him and Quentin to present the show, I think it would improve Quentin's style too, at least he wouldn't be looking at Jodie's feet every five seconds. Has this man got a foot fetish?

Sky+ and FFx12 through the studio bits is the best way to watch it. Brings it down to a handy 30 minutes too once you've also taken out the adverts and the Aston competition.

Sorry Quentin, the Testarossa is the equivalent of gold-plated taps in your bathroom.

XJ220 - lovely, but whoever thought those wheels were a good idea should be shot.

Hand position on the wheel? Haha, most pro drivers don't conform to those rules when larking about.

That was not a race she was in at last year's Silverstone Classic, it was only a demo run, rather misleading.

Sorry, but if you were driving at race spec XJ220 at Silverstone with the rest of those amazing cars you wouldn't lark about. She's no pro driver!

Not the best driving full stop. Especially thumping down the potholes on the back roads when you would anticipate and slow down.

Jodie Kidd- should stick to something she is good at,
Quentin Wilson- Its painful, the audience is not all female and over 70.
The geek- well what can you say. !!!!

Ditch the truly painful presenters and it could be a blinding show.
