Car: 2007 Nissan Murano Rep Power: 14  |  What happened to the Mini? It's been two seasons (little more or less) and they have never mentioned it. I wonder if they have killed the project... |

Rep Power: 0  | He was probably talking about the "Top Gear Restoration Rip-Off". They showed a couple of run-down cars and an old Mini was chosen to be rebuild. Don't know what happened to the project though...

Car: Currently the Belgian bus + Saving the environment Rep Power: 18  | Hmmm... I forgot about that, I think they completely pocketed the 20 quid they made with the phone calls, and went on holiday, didn't bother fixing the damned thing! Hehehe  |

Car: RIP Opel Astra -> 2006 Toyota Corolla Wagon Rep Power: 43  |  THat's like the 200mph project in Fifth Gear. They started with that and then they didn't bother with it for a whole year.

Car: 1998 Subaru Legacy 2.5L Rep Power: 41 | I think RRO is TG's weak point. I said it loong ago and everyone said "ohh thats cos ur too young and don't appreciate it like we do". Yeh whatever, I have no interest in this segment but I hope that they at least conclude it. btw the Range Rover should have won  *sparks debate*  |
