i dont think so.This is not about ideas, its about what the people want to see and whats in the world right now.Its very dificuilt to make great cars show.

I have a great idea!!!Another 3 cars for Hamster, Jezza and Capitan Slow.They have cars for less then 100pounds, they have "Supercars", they have porsches a now its time for hot hatchbacks for less then 1500 pounds.Its so much choise in this market, Civic Vti, Escort RS2000, Clio 2,0 16V and much more.

So Jezzabelle, you like my idea???

Like that extreme ironing thing?

Not really a test of how good a car is in anyway though.

TVR Tuscan is not the best car to learn how to drive fast.

Well, think about it. It correlates with the upcoming World Cup.

What, getting frustrated that Chelsea is in first place? images/smilies/tongue.gif

I actually like Chelsea.

On the other hand the episode was much better than what you would think from the episode description.

LOL, I whole-heartily agree. I know it's not very fast, but I think a well balanced car like an S2000 would make for a better car to learn how to drive fast in.
