Best of Top Gear Sunday 30 Oct

[skippyf1]

I hope you all saw it and the strange noises Jeremy Clarkson was making whilst driving the Sagaris - best TVR ever he said. Of course he had complaints about the ashtray and door handle!!

[olly]

Missed it - bu99er

Wonder if Sky Plus got it for me ?

Does this mean the new series is about to start ???

[Painey]

Made me smile when he said "Every TVR I've driven in the last 20 years has been absolutely terrifying..." Reminded me of my Griff on soaking wet, leaf strewn roads on Saturday and the wheels spinning in fifth!!

[DJC]

To be fair he is right about the ashtray and the windows/door button always makes me check when I wind the windows down! Im terrified of opening the door by mistake!

I dont smoke so dont care about the ashtray

[torquemada]

New series starts Nov 13th.

The doors lock as soon as the car is in motion and can't be opened inadvertently.

I think his best quote in that feature was.."owning a TVR is like having a pet bear. Great- but you know it's going to tear your head off

The ashtray I don't use anyway and he didn't complain about the door handle....he just said it wasn't in the usual place

I must confess that I still look for the button on the door as in the Cerb

Mind you, there are times when I grab the wing mirror on my Omega in an attempt to open the door....
My only excuse is that the car is yellow!

I really enjoy watching that clip and would just love the chance to hoon it around as he did.

And I thought I was the only one to do that - I've done it countless times with the Freelander

Grear item on Top Gear. Saw it the first time around and loved it all the more the second time. Do you reckon JC was driving though??

Your not alone. I do it on my girlfriends car all the time.

DJC our doors lock once the car is in motion.

It is taking me a while to get used to the door opener being where it is...
I've made the mistake and luckily the door didn't open.
