The studio really has gotten somewhat bigger hasn't it?! And so too has the audience!
Yep, new presenter was pretty useless and doesn't really add much at all IMO... (Though them having to step over her when talking about the JCB car was funny)
What the Stig did to the Koenigsegggggg (and loved the name getting longer!
) - Damn!
Micra bit - hilarious. The location (architecture) for the Civic review was amazing. Only trouble was I found myself looking more at that than the car!
The ending to the self-made convertible in the car wash was predicatable and so that bit was a bit pointless - in fact almost dangerous and I'm surprised they sat in the car in the first place! (One of those things ripped my car's antenna base from the roof, shearing a reasonably strong piece of metal!) However, the rest of the self-made convertible bit was great!
As for star in reasonably priced car - I like the way they started it off (with an open invitation of sorts to put some times back up) though I really don't like the new format of having a one-lap shootout rather than taking the best lap time. Even F1 drivers have trouble with that and Jimmy Carr showed just how much it can ruin their times! We want to see how fast the stars are, not if they can avoid spinning on their one lap...
I was a bit surprised at the old indestructible Toyota Pickup being in the studio - I thought it was in a motoring museum...?
Anyway, fantastic start to the new series - really enjoyed it!
Additional: Oh yeah, and Jeremy's "If you have a car more unreliable than my Ford GT, write in to us as 'I've got a Peugeot...'" :lol:
