Wow, hes a great driver. And what a car! Can you imagine being allowed to drive a car like that on those closed streets? That would be amazing.FaisalJ wrote:Mike, watch this and report back...MikeFish wrote: Nope, I am being serious.

Only stunt driver I can name was the Russ bloke who hand-braked minis (and actually as it turns out I can't even name him either).
I was very drunk during the nineties and noughties if that was when he was famous.

Who is prick who drove the hot hatches, to say the A45 is too grown up is a joke, after owning one for a year I can safely say it's a wicked bit of kit, focus Rs better? And no rs3I didn't think so until he brought out the AMG then I thought we might get some RS action, but no.
If you're going to show what you can get for an extra 10 grand why not show the faster, MUCH better sounding RS3?

They havent quite grasped the formula yet... give it till season two (of new topgear) and i reckon it'll sort it self out, but honestly Chris Evans needs to go... they'd easily manage without him.
I dont mind LeBlanc not the bets but he's likeable and actually knows how to drive, Harris, Sabine obviously great people, and Jensen was good too! but i really just cant get away with how much Evans over acts and tries to hard, and his voice makes me mad!!!!

Proper 'latest' hot hatch shootout/review here, it'd be nice if Top Gear tried this sort of thing once in a series with their levels of budget.

Dare I say I actually enjoyed yesterdays, didn't feel too forced as previous shows have (except for Jordan) and a good mix of humour and car info.
Loved the sound of the Vulcan, cant help but think an empty Yas Marina track and that car must be our kind of heaven?
