Car: VW... Jetta... Leave me alone... Rep Power: 0   | The ep wasn't that bad actually, I thought it was pretty cool. That last segment with the Merc and the Boxster is not the most... useful test but it really was quite fun.  I thought the season sort of started off okayish then it went a bit flat... But I think it is coming back a bit now  I mean they had Damon Hill!

Car: Toyota Corolla. Rawrr. LFS Status:  Rep Power: 20 | I'd have thought Hill would have been even faster. Can't wait until the big race next week, been looking forward to it since i heard about it. Always my favorite parts.

Rep Power: 0 | Loved the SLK/Boxster segment, notice how they used single shots almost exclusively as opposed to spray-n-pray? Not that I expected any different from real soldiers. Am looking foward to the SLR race next sunday. |

Car: Toyota Auris 1.6 Dual VVT-i Rep Power: 0 | A good ep, apart from that DB5 and E-Type- part. I didn't get the point in that... Ok, maybe that you can upgrade your classic car with a lot of money and still won't work as a everyday car. Beautiful cars though, both of them. I hate the Murano, the way it looks. I haven't driven it, so can't tell anything about that. But if Jeremy Clarkson likes how a Nissan drives, it has to be good.  And it was tested by the most trendiest presenter in Top Gear, James. He has to be, he used 50 Cents music in his video.  8) The handsfree kit- thing was hilarious! And the Evo 9's new design.. Did you notice, there's somekind of tube in Jeremy's "news seat's" headrest. Aircon?The Maserati Grand Sport looks beautiful... as Maserati's always do. And I like the fact that they've got the Grand Sport right. At least Maserati now has one car that works.  Loved to have one someday.. "Porsche design - the least a man can get" - JC Still like the Boxster more than the SLK. And I don't think it's just for people who can't afford a 911. It's a great car and a great looking one too. Well, not just a car - it's also a big 3.2 litre telephone. You can have the SLK only with an automatic gearbox and you can't turn the tracktion control off.. and I think the SLK looks more vulgar and cheap than the Boxster, as Jeremy pointed out.

If you look at the guests forehead, you see its quite sweaty. Perhaps it gets very hot in the studio, so JC rigged up some A/C?

Rep Power: 0 | 1st post. Not sure about the aircon for JC, did look very warm in the hanger though. Really enjoyed Damon going round the track in the Liana. It nearly matched the time of the DB5 :/ . And what about the boxter! It looks bloody awful but it can stop well, looks like it would be the choice for a motokhana. The Nissan looked OK, but they sound pretty nice (350Z running gear) as I heard one in the states. I used to prefer Hammond as the host, now I just want to have James May as a best mate, the bloke has some seriously good taste in cars. It doesn't have to go fast, but it's nice if it feels/looks/sounds like it. Oh, and it must ooze style, not w@nk.
