Not here. I disliked the Audi's (not the sound) and was a Lancia supporter.

i liked this weeks one - China looks bonkers and I really enjoyed the pace of the more informative bits. though the whole show just drags when they start doing the fake cheesey gags.

Not too hard to roll a 3 wheeler onto some grass then cut to a nicely framed rolling off the edge.

Are you suggesting it was just television magic?

I’ll be honest I was very surprised that he didn’t die. It looked like a nasty crash.

I was also surprised to see Monkey in that wing suit. I had no idea he was such an accomplished parachutist. You’d have thought he’d have mentioned that previously.

Scotland is awesome and I miss living up there and driving in the North as often as I can.

I need to get up there soon with the M140i to scratch the itch. Either solo or with some like minded forum members if I can blag my way onto a roadtrip 😁

Late March, early April always seemed to be the time I had the best weather/quiet road combo up there.

If anyone is planning a jaunt then please let me know 👍

Yep, that looked great. And they didn't faff around needlessly breaking their cars for a change.
And some very sideways BMWs for extra car entertainment goodness.

Did you notice some of the tire smoke was done in ///M logo colours? 8-)
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Yep - I remember him showing James the service bill for his 600 green-grosser and it being the same cost as a new golf :lol:

I've seen up to and including the pickups and think the series thus far is utter crap.

Not seen any of the new TGs as yet - don't see many comments on here either. Will probably watch those I've recorded thus far (think there's two) tomorrow night.

I've found this series to be very entertaining and far less forced than previously. Top Gear in comparison just seem to be desperately trying to be them.
