    Good road test Jamie, I enjoyed this more than the topgear show. I cant help thinking that the idea was okay, just terribly executed. Phil

    Looks like an ideal candidate for Sutcliffe’s ‘Will it Drift?’ treatment! 

    How about it Steve?

    Amusingly we saw the DVLA chaps at Theale doing their road inspection, they could hardly contain themselves. Apparently was a poor TVR that gave up it chassis to become "interesting" car

    Er, how's it going to save the world, exactly? What fun, though - the best belly-laugh I've enjoyed in ages.

    I agree this test was much better than top gear,

    I know they made it crap so it would look good on tv but can't help felling there trying to hard now to be funny what happened to good old road test or even the long road trip, i found those much more entertaing.

    Agree. If they had used this as a 'vehicle' to highlight some of the real problems facing the industry in engineering and developing credible solutions to the electric vehicle / hybrid question, then I'd feel that was a better use of licence payers' money.  This is just having a laugh for the sake of it. Any bunch of clowns in a garage given a few thousand quid can knock up a clowns' car.

    Sorry to come across as a killjoy, but at a time when the industry and economy is in serious turmoil with big issues to overcome, this just seems like TG trying to spend what's left of their budget at the end of the year to justify next year's.....yes I know TG is just a magazine & entertainment show, but surely they can do better than this.

    Rant over.
