Bets on the first one of the 3 to break down?

[ironictwist]

That looks like it's gonna be exceptional

[Gizmo!]

If the FWDiat wins it's a travesty.

I would bet on the Fiat.

Would rather bet the Maz won. Shame it wasn't a "Proper" MX5

Bet he had a much more comfy drive seeing as it wasn't a "proper" MX5

Comfort is for wimps

Joking aside, is anyone else worried that the usual smart-arses are going to come out of the woodwork in the office on Mon, er, Wednesday? "Hur hur hur, Gizmo, you drive an MX5 don't you? Clarkson said "xxxxx" and you drive one Ho ho Ho..."

It'll be intolerable.

[ncow82]

Hasn't Clarkson always praised the MX5 to the hilt, so any comeback would be easy. I'm sure he once said it was the first car he would give "14 of of 10 as its that good."

[Gizmo!]

Just because he's said that in the past doesn't mean he won't now...

[J-Tuner]

Just bend over and take the beasting - might mean a few bargains are on the market in the new year when overly sensitive and weak minded viewers decide to off-load them fast to jump into a euro box

I'm relatively confident that JC will spend the whole show slagging of the fiat and the BMW, and professing the brilliance of the Mazda - the idea is they chose their own cars I think anyway so you'd assume he must like it !?

[cyprinis]

That mx5 is identical to my car. Gold mk2. This will go one of two ways :s

[5paul5]

Just watched this, sadly the fiat was the most reliable, and voted the best car of the three !

[Jonny671]

MX5 definitely wasn't a good'un was it.

[5paul5]

No pop up lights either. so not a proper one.

[sinizter]

6 wheels - nice.

[Legacywr]

I would agree with them and have the Fiat.

No seriously.

They did have a bad MX5, or badly treated on the trip..

[Mr MXT]

TBF it was a pretty rubbish challenge. I was bored!

[Tomoose85]

I found it quite dull really, shame.

The MX5 kept blowing a spark plug out of the head for some reason...?

I too think I'd have had the Fiat, but only if they'd have made it RHD and RWD! :P

Agreed. I don't get into the TG bashing you see on PH but I found this one spectacularly dull.
