.....before I start flicking through the SKY TV guide to see if it is repeated.

Not as good as last week but enjoyed the section where the designer of the sierra explained that it was a sort-of copy of a porker 928s. Nice to see a citroen DS used to show how far ahead of its time it was - always been fascinated by them.

Could have done without granny donuts in a honda s2000! Bet the boys at honda loved this! Not.

A bit boring compared to the last 2 weeks, but the Westfield beating the Zonda's time made it a little better.

Anyone know when the Tamora vs Boxster is on?

liked his choice of the Aston...still prefer the De Tomaso Pantera GT5 though, much rarer. I also love the DS, how advanced was that thing for it's time?

Gratuitous use of girls in bikinis made a welcome change! (That Labour MP made such a fuss over a few inches of bra strap, but seem quite happy with an advertising hoarding showing five naked men... so much for equality... if it were five naked women she'd dissolve into a poll of morally outraged cytoplasm). Mad world.

What are you talking about? Grannies doing a do-nut was top entertainment, it wasn't supposed to be high brow reporting. Lets not forget the alternative motoring programs are in fact crap, so anything that entertains whilst on a car theme is very welcome in my book.

Anybody out there actually driven an XTR2 anyway? Wot's it like, he asked, hopefully...BTW am I the only one to find that minging over-enthusiastic co-presenter with the squeaky voice REALLY annoying?

I have to say I find the new TG more of an entertainment program rather than a high brow car program, as long as you understand this, then you can sit back and enjoy...

The bikini girl was very tongue in cheek!!!(Hmmmmm stop naughty thoughts) and the do-nut grannies were hilarious...

Some of the second hand deals from the fat bloke are reasonably informed, but how many people will actually take their advice? If you know nowt about cars, you're not going to pay any attention to some fat bloke on the TV eulogising about how you can save thousand's if you feel you are gonna get ripped off by dodgy dealers or private vendors...

Overall I think it is teh best car program on teh box at the moment. That is not to say it could not be improved..More time spent on shots of cars rather than mini-me and fat bloke trying to make themselves look interesting..
