According to my eldest lad the programme is about classic british sports cars. He reckons an S will be the star of the show.

Given the supposed "history of British 3 wheelers" involved only a Reliant Robin being continually flipped by Clarkson I wouldn't hold you breath for anything other than an excuse to be generally silly.

It might well be billed as an investigation into the "demise of the British sports car" but will just become another entertainment segment.

The days of Top Gear and half decent, well written and presented documentary segments has long gone.

I would say don't worry - there is no such thing as bad publicity. However much they slag it off it gets the S in front of viewers - some of which aren't as stupid as the presenters.

It might even raise the profile of the S and increase values - they just can't get any cheaper can they?

I personally believe Top Gear is the best it has ever been... thanks dog they don't fill it with reviews boring euro boxes.. Bring on the entertainment.. the challenges make it IMHO.. yea some are light hearted but in general an excellent show.

Damian S3... looking forward to Top Gear...

yep, I saw a trailer for this, its a new part of the show where Clarkson does his own servicing on the car, and on taking it for a spin afterwards promptly crashed, a while later they diagnosed the crash due to Clarkson putting his brake calipers on upside downhehe




sorry bruv, couldn`t resist

the only half decent thing that Top Gear ever said about TVR's was in their "Blackpool Rock" special from 1997 when it actually felt like a Car Program.

its on Youtube in three parts for anyone who has not seen it.(the S hardly gets mentioned rolleyes )
