This is the firstTop Gear Episode in years that actually raised true emotion for me.. I stayed up all night to watch it, its now 6:54 AM, and im done. And I LOVED IT.
Bentley brooklands film was brilliant, lots of tiresmoke and exitement, but in the rating of this episode, it was irrelevant, as were the news, and the SIARPC. They were Irrelevant, because by the time Jeremy got to overtaking that focus, I had decided in my mind that this episode is going to get 10/10. I actually vocally cheered in severals part of the alfa challenge, especially when Jeremy played the song through his Ipod .
Right now, im scouring a Finnish used car site for a cheap, old, rwd alfa romeo project, that I could perhaps buy in about 6 months (I know none of the cars currently on sale will still be there in six months, but Its irrelevant, since Im dreaming anyway.). My parents will buy a new car in, dunno, 2 years?, and Im going to try and convince them to buy a 3.2 Alfa Romeo 159... This clip changed they way I thought about Alfa Romeos.. Before I wanted one very badly, now I need not worry, because I WILL OWN AN ALFA ROMEO IN MY LIFE. It's written in stone.
For that, I award this episode a 10/10, I would give it more if I could.
Btw, I found a 1970 Alfa Romeo 1750 that needs, quite a bit of body work(no rust though), new paint, and everything yuou might need to get it running after been stored in a garage for 20 years. Cost 1100?. I dont have a place to work on a car, I have never worked on a car, and dont have a drivers licence. But believe me, if i had enough money to buy it, I would.
->Off to watch the ep. again.
Thank you Top Gear.
