Starts on Sunday BBC2 - I see in the first show the boys are running a series of "challenges" in classic hot hatches.

Ford Fiesta XR2i
VW Golf GTi
Nova SRi (did VX do an SRi? - I thought there was a Nova SR but not with an i)

Glad to see some motors like this on the show to break up the monotony of £235,000 hyper cars........should be a laugh to see how the old cars stack up.

Yes they did do a 1.4 SRi towards the end before it became a Corsa.

Finding a sport on twin webbers might have skewed the results in favour of the vaux., but a tad rare....
