Id bet its harris.

Haven't watched this for years now - I dont really like the format of this or GT. At least I am not self harming.

Yes but not fannying about.

I can't believe that they are persevering with Freddie Flintoff.

Watching him talk is like watching a stroke victim try and form coherent words.

Chris Harris remains a class act.

You can hear his finger moving across the page of his script when he’s doing voiceovers.

The voiceovers actually take me back to those first years of school where kids read out loud. It’s excruciatingly painful.

I enjoyed it. Good fun and I laughed a lot.

I thought this was going to go into more detail about the crane and stuff, but unfortunately not.

Just seen it. The lube bit was a bit dull but Harris in the dino outfit across the driving range was fucking hysterical

Thought it was ok too.

Decent enough this week. The Speedtail just looks so awkward I cannot warm to it.

It looks absolutely fantastic. I was a bit meh about it until tonight.

Amazing piece of automotive engineering in a staggeringly ugly package.

Horrible horrible looking thing.

But IMO of course

It’s no F1 is it.

Bingo...

Performance melted my mind a bit, but yeah - visuals dont do it for me.

Love it, especially the fixed wheel disks, would look. Water if the rear wasn't quite so long and pointy, more like the long tail F1s, but then it wouldn't be as slippery.

Lolled several times at the dirty rascal, and probably the first topgear in ten years the mrs has sat through with me.

I thought the Speedtail looked good, until they showed the McLaren F1.

Front end is ruined by the lights. The rear of the car is magnificent though.

CH impressive as always, sliding it around like it's a £500 knackered 328i

The angle of the a-pillar is what ruins the Speedtail for me. It looks very upright and ruins the proportions. I thought it sounded a bit shit, too.
