I've got a tour of Classic Team Lotus on wednesday evening - really looking forward to that.
I've enjoyed this season of TG much more than any others too.
Yep. I do wonder if the focus groups don't like proper car content

Which is why Guy Martin's show is so much better and appeals to both sets of people. When he went to the salt flats, they spoke to the people who race there, who are obviously nuts and therefore really entertaining to everyone. The Icelandic folks with 1600bhp V8s? Not a word from them. Just feels like missed opportunities.mik wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 9:27 amClearly this.speedingfine wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 9:37 pmYep.

John Q Citizen just wants a ladsy banter dicking around show loosely based around cars. Which is what it is - with the occasional bit that captures the interest of folks like us (eg Lotus 79 bit above)

His pronunciation of Borneo as Bonio did my nut. Does that make me northernist?Flitoff is still absurdly wooden and rigid in his presenting bits
Have that set up please Gavin.
Sadly, The Superb went years ago as did the caravan. The Bongo has a 0-60 time of "probably, if there is slight decline and a tail wind". Don't fancy it in a drag race against anything tbh
