Can't believe they didn't consult you before they did any of that. What were they thinking?!?!

The comments on YouTube are much worse than on here.

I genuinely can't get my head around how people can build up a passionate hate for a TV show.

I guess they are also still subscribed on YouTube, as well as watching every new episode, as the moaners were quick to dive in as per usual.

Agreed, very poor form. If it's a Morris Marina, which no one will miss, but a Rallye? I can't see how any petrolhead could allow that.

Yeah, agree. Would have thought Harris wouldn't allow them to totally wreck it. If they do then it's pretty piss poor. It's not like its a boggo old hatch, its one of the best sports hatchbacks ever made. Will watch it though, no doubt cringing quite a lot.

You guys have watched TG and TGT before?

There has been a lot of nice cars sacrificed over the years. I don't think anything they've used ever sees the road again.

You can buy the Fiat Panda 4x4 that James May used recently, auction going up soon according to Twitter

I'm only 8 miles away or so from dunsfold, I might go burn it down later. I've got 2 weeks off work so I might as well do something to pass the time....

Yep, both nice cars but atleast there are more Renault 4s about.. No excuse if they trash either though.

It's the same in the Drivetribe Facebook group. It is linked to the production company of TGT but some of the comments around TG are either rediculously petty or hate filled.

Flintoff is an oaf.

Harris is dull.

Paddy not quite as unlikeable as expected.

It will be entertaining, I'm looking forward to it. I haven't seen a trailer, but I get it they damage / wreck a 106 rallye?
I can't believe people are getting upset about this, it's a cheap French hatch worth not a lot. The money they make from this will far outweigh the cost of the car.

Kin el, nearly had a kitten a minute ago. Went to turn it on on Sky Q, not there, went to get it on catch up, not there. searched it on the planner, and it's on at 9 instead of the usual 8. Pheeeew!

Edit, a phase one 106 Rallye for £3500? Thought they would be at least double that £

Ten minutes in and I'm already wondering if this episode is a repeat.
