Just in case you don´t know already I was just checking TG contents for Sunday and low and behold the Sagaris will be let loose on the track :bounce:
Lets just hope it´s dry so we can see what it can really do

Doesn't matter how well it does though, if their 'test' of the Tuscan 2 is anything to go by they'll have made up their minds before it even gets to the studio.

Doesn't matter how well it does, it's not German or a GT40, therefore it'll gbe sh1te.
Maybe if they asked the old git (James) it may get a more favourable response than from little and large.

Common guys, Don't get worked up about Top Gear. The show has nothing what so ever to do with cars and how good they are its purely about entertainment.

"I don't like TVRs" - James May (last series)

Maybe it's better if they don't like TVRs. James May likes grandad cars, Clarkson used to have the same Mercedes as Dale Winton and Hamster's collection consists of an 80's RHD Porker, a bling Dodge charger and a Morgan.

It was filmed today around the track. My mate offered me a free ticket to go with him to see the filming of TG, but I was too busy at work.
He phoned me up at about 1:00pm to rub it in that the stig has just thrashed the saggy around the track.
If he gives me the time for the saggy when he get back, shall I post it here?
I was really pissed off that I didn't go.

Don't think so mate. They're talking about this coming Sundays episode (10th July).

Do you know if the track was dry or wet for the Sagaris's lap? (it's been p*ssing down since Monday here in Durham)

It was dry for the Tuscan 2 and that time was impressive enough.

Last weeks TG is on tomorrow (thurs) night, 7-8pm. Looking forward to seeing the Saggy on Sunday, I still want one.

Just spoken to my mate on the phone and he said Clarkson gave the saggy a good review. I know the track time also.

IIRC the last occasion J.C. had a good word for TVR is when the Cerbi got a good thrashing. J.C. was dribbling all over it, how good, how fast, how so bloody noisy. He did'nt realise that the test car had been fitted with a Tuscan race engine
