I really hope they sort the editing. What do I mean? Keep watching to part 2 to find out...

In part 1 we told you about the editing. Keep watching for the comparison in part 3

Etc etc. It used to really grate
Loads of TV shows do it, not least Wheeler Dealers, that Property Improvement Progamme etc. You can watch them in half the time if you skip those btis

Indeed!

ste presenter
ste driver! (How can a "Racing Driver" aiming for 200 bottle it on a runway in an Aston Vanquish at 160mph FFS! )
Don’t forget kept breaking it doing doughnuts first

And start crying in the grand Cherokee on an off road course

Still I’ll watch it though

The giggling ste grates - I thought she was going to piss herself on a regular basis.... getmecoat

Sky doesn't normally go more than a week in advance on the planner I don't think - have a look tomorrow?

No custard frown

E60 M5 though thumbup with W210 E55 AMG and C5 RS6 in a 'cheap and will rape your wallet super-saloon for £10k' segment

W205 C63S vs Giulia QV (Tiff v Plato)

Johnny adds a bit of Fully Charged with some London cabbies and a new Black Cab

Good first episode.

They tempt me with these fast saloons and immediately crush my dreams with the worst case scenario bills.

One thought I had was I remember the RS6 being good lookers when new but I don’t think they’ve aged well. Especially next to an M5.

I’ve met VBH a number of times. Lovely person in real life, so grounded & genuinely.

She / Fifth Gear used my wife’s old Alfa V6 GT a few series back. She loved it.

Quite enjoyed it, apart from Wolverine spouting bks about filters and black intercoolers.

The Ds7 was very disappointing in the flesh.


The bit about inter coolers was pants. Did he really say that black would make it more efficient? Honestly. And moving it isnt going to make 40bhp difference just because the ambient temp is 40c less at that point. He needs to tell us what the difference in the temps of the compressed air at the inter cooler outlet pipe is. My guess is 4 or 5 degrees less at most.

Quite enjoyed it too - good to have another watchable car show on the TV.

Agree with the earlier comments on the intercooler segment - seemed like they've tried to keep something to appeal to the Wheeler Dealers type viewers.
Did i also hear correctly that he said the the full kit, including pipework & fixings was quoted as being around circa £300-£350? That certainly seems like Wheeler Dealer product pricing hehe That air filter had a bit of an eBay special look to it too hehe

And the air filter was sucking in hot air from the engine bay which would probably negate any gains from relocating the intercooler

Yep - looks like PH are in agreement yikes A winner!
Good show with a bit of everything & reasonable presenters - makes the more recent incarnations of Top Gear look a bit rubbish.

VBH is like an excited school boy. Yes she’s a good driver but she is so irritating.

Goofy cow.
