Dear dear Jason Barlow. Doesn`t he know his Chimaeras from his Griffiths?! I`m talking about that programme Wrong car, right car - tonights episode.

They sorted several types including a Porcshe and Ferrari for the guy but failed to turn his head and he kept with his Chimaera - good man! Only the Tuscan swayed him at the end. Having owned a Chimaera for a couple of months and loving the beast,we now know that TVRs are hard to let go, that V8 sound is just too sweet!!

Yes I heard that, but wasn't it Dominic Fat-Bald-bloke who said it? What a pair of plonkers.

The whole point of the exercise was to get him his "right" car, and when he finally decided on the Tuscan S they stopped shooting! Why were we subjected to all that wasted time on teutonic so-called "Sports" cars when he should have been given the choice of a new Tamora (or Tesco) or a used Tuscan to start with.

Wake up BBC!

Definately Jason got it wrong at the beginning, Dominic got it right later!!

I had a bet with the wife that he would stick with the Chimaera (until the Tuscan was shown). I was beginning to think I was the only one that noticed/saw it!
